Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
Chapter 1
1-5
UserDefinable Keys
The keypad terminal has 21 user-definable keys on its front panel. Each
one can perform a variety of operations—from turning on PLC input bits
to changing screens. PanelView 1200 terminals are extremely flexible:
each key can be assigned a different function for each screen.
Custom Keypad Legend Inserts
The function keys on keypad terminals are pre-labeled at the factory, but
you can create key labels to suit your application. The included Legend Kit
provides blank card material that can be written on with most types of
markers or paste-on labels. Replacing the labels on the terminals is a quick
and easy task.
Touch Screen Terminal for Simplicity and Space Saving
A touch-sensitive surface overlays the monitor on the touch screen
terminal. Selections are made by touching the display directly. Since a
keypad is not required, these terminals require less panel space.
Message and Alarm Handling Utilities
A PanelView 1200 terminal application can be set up with stored messages
that can be triggered by the PLC controller. There are three kinds of
message displays:
Local Message Displays can appear in any free location on a specific
screen (875 messages maximum)
Information Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently
displayed (496 messages maximum)
Alarm Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently displayed
(496 messages maximum)
For each type of message displayed—local, information or alarm—there is
a message list. Using PanelBuilder software, you can add or edit messages.
Messages are numbered and listed in numerical order in the message list.
