Chapter 1: Introduction 5
Introduction
The Operator Station can be used with the programmable controllers in the Texas Instruments (TI) 500
Series (520, 530, 560, and 565), 405 Series (425, 430, and 435), and 305 Series (315, 325, and 330)
using the TI driver on the TIHL (Host Link) driver. The driver takes responsibility for
communications to the programmable controller, generating the protocol necessary to request
information from, and send information to, the PLC. The PLC simply responds to these requests and
commands. Ladder logic is required in the PLC to support bit writes to the TI 405 and TI 305 PLCs.
Connection to PLCs using the TI or TIHL driver can be accomplished by a direct connection to the
RS232 port, the Data Communication Module (DCM), or the Data Communications Unit (DCU). The
RS232 connection can only be used Point-to-Point. RS422 has multi-drop capabilities.
Note: Check the Cutler-Hammer web site for current information on PanelMate PC connectivity to
the Texas Instruments driver.
Installing Drivers
PanelMate Configuration Editor software is installed using a CD-ROM. To install the drivers from the
CD-ROM, select the Install Software option and then Install Drivers. From the dialog box, select
the driver you wish to install.
