PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
This chapter describes how to use the PanelView 1200 terminal’s two
operating modes and discusses the power-up and on-line tests that the
terminal performs.
The PanelView 1200 terminal has two modes of operation: Configure
mode and Run mode. Configure mode allows you to set up the terminal,
and Run mode executes the application file. The PanelView 1200 terminal
communicates with your PLC controller only when it’s in Run mode, so set
it to this mode to monitor and control your PLC application.
The following illustration shows the rear panel of a PanelView 1200
terminal. Note the location of the Mode Select Keyswitch, the brightness
control, (Monochrome terminals), and the contrast control (Color
terminals).
