Chapter 3 Configure Terminal Settings
Runtime Environment During runtime, the PanelView 5500 terminal runs HMI projects. A project is
configured and downloaded to your terminal from the View Designer
application. The project launches each time the terminal restarts.
The terminal exchanges data values with the controller, animates the displayed
data, and responds when you press keys or touch a screen or element on a screen.
During runtime, you can perform these tasks:
•
Navigate screens and their graphic elements
•
View and manage alarms
•
View and perform operations on a trend chart
•
Display error information
•
Configure terminal settings and view diagnostic information
Here is an example of a screen in a project that is downloaded to the terminal.
