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.

Chapter 1Overview
Windows CE Operating
System
PanelView Plus 6 terminals run the Windows CE operating system (OS),
providing the foundational OS elements for the majority of user needs.
For users with more complex application requirements, some of the terminals
offer optional, extended features and file viewers.

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.

OverviewChapter 1
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.

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.

700 to 1500Isolated24V DC nom (18…32V DC)70 W max (2.9 A at 24V DC)
The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity. Connecting
DC+ or DC- to the earth/ground terminal can damage the device.
ATT EN TI ON : Applying an AC power source to a terminal with a DC power input
can damage the device.
External Power Supply
Use a dedicated 24V DC, safety extra-low voltage (SELV) or protective
extra-low voltage (PELV) power supply to power each PanelView Plus 6 device.
ATT EN TI ON : Use a SELV or PELV power supply as required by local wiring codes
for your installation. These power supplies provide protection so that under
normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between conductors and earth
ground does not exceed a safe value.

A PELV source internally connec ts the
negative power terminal to chassis ground.
This prevents ground loops from damaging
the device.
All of the communication ports on the terminals and supported
communication modules are isolated, with the exception of the USB ports.
Earth/Ground Connection
PanelView Plus 6 devices with a DC power input have an earth/ground terminal
that you must connect to a low-impedance earth/ground.
• On 400 and 600 terminals, the earth/ground connection is on the power
terminal block.
• On 700 to 1500 terminals, the earth/ground connection is on the rear of
the display module.
The earth/ground connection to ground is mandatory. This connection is
required for the following:
• Noise immunity, reliability, and Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) with
the European Union (EU) EMC directive for CE-mark conformance
ATT EN TI ON : Damage or malfunction can occur when a voltage potential exists
between two separate ground points. Make sure the terminal does not serve as
a conductive path between ground points at different potentials.

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.
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.
