OP--414 Overview
Let’s look at the OP--414 operator panel and its individually supported features. As
you continue through this manual, try to relate the examples to your Operator Panel
application.
It is important to read and understand all topics discussed before installing,
configuring and programming your application. You should plan your system with all
operator interface requirements in mind.

OP--WINEDIT
The OP--414 operator panel provides a man-machine interface to your PLC
automation system. This panel is
not
designed for applications which demand large
amounts of operator data entry. The panel communicates with your PLC using
RS-232 serial communication. Details on configuration software and programming
your operator panel are covered in later chapters. All OP400 series panels can only
be used in a stand alone fashion (one panel can be used with each CPU RS232
port). They cannot be used in multi-panel applications.
The OP--414 features an eight digit LED
numeric display to show user-defined
PLC setpoints or current values. Up to 6
setpoints or current values may be
configured and displayed using the
OP--WINEDIT configuration software.
