Question

Will the communication rate between an EZTouch panel and the PLC slow down as more screens are added to the panel?

Answer

The communications rate is based on the objects on the currently displayed screen only and any PLC to Panel/Panel to PLC control. The exception is when using line graphs on any of the screens, the pens are continuiously updated based on the sample rate even if the screen is not the currently displayed screen.
