PanelView 1200 Terminal Diagnostics
When a PanelView 1200 terminal starts up, it performs a number of fault
detection tests. The PanelView 1200 terminal also performs continuous
tests for fault conditions when it is communicating online with the PLC
controller. In the event of a fault, a message appears, pinpointing the exact
nature of the fault.
An operator can also initiate diagnostic tests from the terminal.
For a description of the diagnostic tests, and the various fault conditions,
refer to Chapter 2, PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions, in this manual.
Optional hardware is available that you may find convenient to use with
either type of the PanelBuilder software and the PanelView 1200 terminal.
For catalog numbers see tables 1.A and 1.B.
Upload/Download Cable
The Upload/Download cable connects the development computer’s RS-232
Port to the PanelView 1200 terminal’s RS-232 Port. You use it to transfer
applications serially between the development computer and the
PanelView 1200 terminal If you have a number of terminals, you may want
to order more than one Upload/Download cable.
Optional Remote Keyswitch & RS232 Port Assembly
On the back of all PanelView 1200 terminals is a Mode Select Keyswitch
and RS-232 Port. The Remote Keyswitch and RS-232 Port Assembly
allows you to mount the port and keyswitch to the front of your control
panel while maintaining a NEMA 4X seal. This is convenient if you don’t
have easy access to the rear of the PanelView 1200 terminal. See Chapter
3, Installing Your PanelView 1200 Terminal, for details on mounting and
dimensions.
Optional EEPROM or EPROM for Backup or Additional Application
Memory
Earlier PanelView 1200 terminals contained two sockets for optional
EPROM or EEPROM chips. Series D and E PanelView 1200 terminals
have one socket for an optional EPROM/EEPROM, called the user PROM.
