Preface
This manual describes the features and specifications of PanelView
1200
terminals. PanelView 1200 terminals are available as keypad or touch
screen terminals, with color or monochrome display.
Note
The term “PanelView 1200” is the new name for PanelView
terminals. It refers to all 12-inch CRT PanelView terminals, from Series A
upwards.
The manual provides information and examples for:
installing and maintaining a PanelView 1200 terminal
operating a PanelView 1200 terminal
connecting a PanelView 1200 terminal to an Allen-Bradley
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC
r
)
troubleshooting a PanelView 1200 terminal
This manual is written to help you install and maintain PanelView 1200
terminals.
The following terms are used throughout this manual.
Application File: A PanelView 1200 terminal application file contains a
series of screens and configurations which, when interpreted and executed
by PanelView 1200, replace the functions of a control panel of buttons,
switches and indicators. The screens are created on a development
computer running PanelBuilder
Development Software or
PanelBuilder
1200 Configuration Software for Windows, and then saved
in an application file on the development computer’s disk. The application
file is then downloaded to a PanelView 1200 terminal where it stays in
battery-backed RAM.
Battery-Backed RAM: Application files are stored in the PanelView 1200
terminal’s random access memory (RAM). The RAM is backed by an
internal battery so that the application file and the status of the retentive
objects are maintained even when AC power is switched off.
