Preface
About This Publication
This publication is designed to provide quickstart instructions for using global
variables of the Micro800® family of programmable logic controllers (PLC)
together with PanelView™ Plus HMI terminals. It makes use of sample programs
to illustrate the basic steps that a user needs to perform to use those global
variables.
To assist in the design and installation of your system, see the list of user manuals
for the Micro800 family of programmable controllers under Additional
Resources.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these
sections carefully before beginning work in each chapter.
• Before You Begin – This section lists the steps that must be completed
and decisions that must be made before starting that chapter. The chapters
in this quick start do not have to be completed in the order in which they
appear, but this section defines the minimum amount of preparation
required before completing the current chapter.
• What You Need – This section lists the tools that are required to
complete the steps in the current chapter. This includes, but is not limited
to, hardware and software.
