Important User Information
Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

Preface
About This Publication
Audience
Required Software
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.
•Follow These Steps – This illustrates the steps in the current chapter and identifies which steps are required to complete the examples using specific networks.
To be able to use the Micro800 controller global variables with PanelView Plus terminals, you need to be familiar with creating and using controller variables and HMI applications.
This quick start works hand-in-hand with the user manuals of the Micro800 family of programmable controllers. These publications are listed under Additional Resources.
To complete this quick start, the following software is required:
•Connected Components Workbench version 7.0 or later
Connected Components Workbench™ is the main programming software for Micro800 systems. It provides a choice of IEC 61131-3 programming languages (ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured text) with user defined function block support that optimizes machine control.
Connected Components Workbench software offers controller programming, device configuration, and integration with HMI editor to make programming your standalone machine more simple.
