About the Terminals

PanelView Plus 6 terminals are operator interface devices that run HMI machine-level applications in an industrial environment. The displays range in size from 4 to 15 inches. These devices are used to monitor, control, or display information graphically, letting operators quickly understand the status of their application.
This platform is programmed by using common development software that provides multilingual support, and integrates into systems with Rockwell Automation controllers including preferred Logix controllers.

The terminals can be configured to run an open or closed desktop environment:
An open system launches the Windows Explorer desktop on startup. The system is configurable via the control panel and supports Windows operations.
A closed system launches a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application on startup and restricts access to the Windows Explorer desktop.
All terminals are shipped as closed systems restricting access to the desktop. The first time you start the system, the terminal launches FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode. At this point, you can change the start-up option and allow desktop access.

TIP
IMPORTANT

Start-up Options

Desktop Access

You can configure the terminal to perform one of three actions at startup:
Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application.
Launch the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Configuration mode of
the terminal where you load and run applications, configure start-up options and terminal settings, and enable or disable desktop access.
Launch the Windows Explorer desktop.
The factory default state and start-up option following a firmware upgrade is to launch the terminal in Configuration mode. Refer to Start-up Options on
page 51 for details on how to change the start-up option.
Any of the terminals can be configured to allow or restrict desktop access. From the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run third-party applications. Terminals with optional, extended features (catalog numbers ending in 9) can additionally run viewers, media players, and launch the web browser. You can even allow access temporarily to perform specific tasks, then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized changes.
All terminals are initially shipped with desktop access disabled.
Refer toDesktop Access on page 54
for details on how to modify desktop access.
Desktop access does not change the feature set of your terminal. If you have a terminal with a catalog number ending in 8, opening the desktop does not give you access to extended features and file viewers.

Operator Input
All 700 to 1500 display modules have TFT color, graphic displays with either keypad, touch screen, or combination keypad/touch-screen input. Common features and firmware provide for easy migration to a larger display:
Eight-wire resistive touch screens are extremely accurate for operator interfaces. When a point on the touch screen is pressed, the layers connect and change the electrical current, which is then registered and processed.
All keypad or combination keypad/touch-screen displays are similar except for the number of functions keys.
To meet the requirements of specific environmental conditions, high-bright displays, marine-certified displays, and conformal-coated displays are also available. Plus, you can order field replaceable bezels.
ATT EN TI ON : Use a finger or gloved finger to operate the keypad. To operate the touch screen, use a finger, gloved-finger or plastic stylus with a minimum tip radius of 1.3 mm (0.051 in.). Using any other object or tool can damage the keypad or touch screen.
ATT EN TI ON : Do not carry out multiple operations simultaneously. Doing so can result in unintended operation:
Touch only one operating element on the screen with one finger at one time.
Press only one key on the terminal at one time.

Mounting Clearances

Panel Guidelines

Plan for adequate space around the terminal, inside the enclosure, for ventilation and connections. Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient temperature around the terminal must be 0…55 °C (32…131 °F).
Table 31 - Minimum Required Clearances
Product Area Minimum Clearance
Top 51 mm (2 in.)
Bottom 102 mm (4 in.)
Side 25 mm (1 in.)
Back 0 mm (0 in.)
A clearance of 102 mm (4 in.) is sufficient on the side of the terminal to insert and remove an SD card, and on the bottom of terminal for connections.
The terminals are panel-mounted devices intended to mount in the door or wall of a NEMA rated, UL Type rated, or IP rated enclosure:
Supporting panels must have a mounting thickness of 1.5…4.8 mm (0.060…0.188 in.).
The material strength and stiffness of the panel must be sufficient to hold the terminal and maintain an appropriate seal against water and dust.
The panel surface must be flat and free of imperfections to maintain an adequate seal and NEMA and UL Type ratings.

Mount the 400/600 Terminal in a Panel

The terminals were designed for single-person installation. No tools are required except for those needed to make the panel cutout
Mounting levers secure the terminal to the panel. Four or six levers are required depending on the terminal model. The levers insert into the mounting slots on the top and bottom of the terminal.
Each mounting slot has six notches with alignment marks that are locking positions for a lever. The thickness of the panel in which you mount the terminal determines the locking position required to maintain the NEMA/UL Type seal.

Follows these steps to mount the terminal in a panel.
ATT EN TI ON :
Disconnect all electrical power from the panel before making the panel cutout. Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear and that the panel is clean of
any debris, oil, or other chemicals. Make sure metal cuttings do not enter any components already installed in the
panel and that the edges of the cutout have no burrs or sharp edges. Failure to follow these warnings can result in personal injury or damage to panel
components.
1. Cut an opening in the panel by using the cutout template shipped with the terminal or the cutout dimensions on page 30
.
2. Verify the sealing gasket is present on the terminal.
This gasket forms a compression type seal. Do not use sealing compounds.

Desktop Access

You can allow or restrict access to the Windows desktop on all terminals. From the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run third­party applications. Terminals with extended features can additionally run viewers, media players, and launch the web browser. You can allow access temporarily to perform specific tasks, then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized changes.
Typically, a terminal does not allow desktop access unless it has extended features.
All terminals are shipped from factory with desktop access disabled.
With restricted access, the only way to access the desktop is to first enter a password. The terminals are shipped from the factory with a default password and challenge question that we recommend you change:
Default password = password (case sensitive)
Default challenge question = What is the opposite of lock?
Default challenge answer = unlock (case sensitive)

Display Settings

For the terminal display, you can adjust its intensity, view its temperature, configure the screen saver, or enable/disable the screen cursor.
Adjust the Display Intensity
You can modify the intensity of the terminal backlight. You can use the default intensity of 100% or you can change the intensity for runtime operations.
1. Press Terminal Settings>Display>Display Intensity.
2. Press Startup Intensity to switch between the Default intensity and the
Runtime intensity.
If you select Runtime, the start-up screens use the runtime intensity.
If you select Default, the start-up screens use the default setting, 100%
3. Increase or decrease the intensity for runtime operations, by pressing the
up or down arrow keys.
4. Press OK when done to save the intensity changes.
View the Display Temperature
To view the current temperature of the 700 to 1500 CCFL-displays only, press Terminal Settings>Display>Display Temperature.
700 to 1500 terminals with a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlight require temperature control when the internal temperature of the product is below 10 °C (50 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). If the internal temperature is:
Below 10 °C (50 °F), the backlight is set to overdrive or the full-rated current setting for at least five minutes. This increases heat generation from the backlight.
Above 60 °C (140 °F), the backlight is set to underdrive; 40% or less of full brightness. This reduces heat generation from the backlight.
Temperature monitoring begins when the backlight turns on at startup or when the screen saver is deactivated. The temperature control affects display intensity only; it does not restrict the use or operation of the terminal.
When a low or high temperature condition is detected, an error is sent to the system event log. If the temperature control is not functioning, a noncritical error is sent to the system event log but the terminal continues to operate normally.
Temperature control takes precedence over the application backlight settings.

When replacing the battery, you can verify the accuracy of the system date and time from the control panel or the terminal settings in FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode.
