The MicroView interfaces with the MicroLogix controller. The
MicroView allows operators to monitor and manipulate process data
on the plant floor.
• RS-232 Port. The MicroView has an RS-232 communications
port. The RS-232 port allows point-to-point connections with a
MicroLogix controller. The RS-232 port also allows the
™
MicroView to be connected to an IBM
computer.
• Memory Capability. Storage of the operating system,
configuration information, and user-programmed screens are
maintained in nonvolatile memory providing storage for
approximately 50 screens.
• Recipe Operations. Recipe type functions allow operators to
quickly modify blocks of data. Download data to a maximum of
10 non-sequential register addresses per screen. Link multiple
recipe screens to download data to more than 10 addresses.
• Flexible Function Key Operations. Two function keys
provide a convenient way to trigger screen displays and change
display screens.
• Point-Access/Display Function. Allows you to monitor or
modify data files in MicroLogix controllers. Use this function to
set up and debug application programs.

Enters numbers 0 to 9 during data entry or selects a numbered
item shown on the display.
Displays any application screen assigned to the key. These
keys can also set or clear bits at two consecutive registers in
the controller data table.
Function Key Operations
Function keys can be linked to application screens allowing quick
access to critical data display or data entry screens. For example, if
the F1 function key is linked to Recipe Screen 10, the operator can
press F1 at any point in the application to download recipe registers
on screen 10 to the processor. A control mode can be assigned to
each function key linked to a screen.
Control Mode Function
Auto Return Returns to the screen displayed before the function key was
pressed.
Continue Continues to the next screen in the link regardless of the
screen displayed before the function key was pressed.
Bit Write Mode Allows the function key when pressed to set or clear a bit in
the controller. Bit Write Mode operates with either Auto
Return or Continue mode.
Publication 2707-UM005B-EN-P
The function keys access 2 contiguous word data elements
defined by the user. For example, assign function keys F1 to
F2 to N7:20 and N7:21.

Programming the MicroView
MicroView Operator Interface
The MicroView is programmed off-line using a personal computer
running MicroView Programming Software (MDPS). Operating system
™
upgrades can also be transferred using an IBM
compatible personal
computer.
MicroView Programming Software (MDPS)
You can use MicroView Programming Software (Catalog No.
2707-NP2, Version 1.00 or later) or DPS software (Catalog No.
2707-NP, Version 5.00 or later) to create application screens for the
MicroView Operator Terminal. For a description of MicroView
Programming Software (MDPS), refer to the Programming Manual
(Publication No. 2707-PM002B-EN-P).
IMPORTANT
The MicroView Programming Software will not run
on systems running Windows 98, 2000, or NT.

Applying Power
This section describes power connections for initial desktop setup and
programming. Refer to Chapter 6 for installation wiring instructions.
The MicroView operates on 24 VDC power supplied either through
the power port or the communications port. For run-time operations
with the MicroLogix controller, the MicroView is supplied with 24
VDC through the cable from the MicroLogix controller connected to
the communications port.
For application download/upload operations, the MicroView is
supplied with 24 VDC through the power port using a separate power
adapter. You can use the AC to DC Adapters: Catalog No. 2707-PS120
for 120 VAC or Catalog No. 2707-PS220 for 220 VAC power.
ATTENTION
!
Verify that the power is disconnected from the
power source before wiring. Failure to disconnect
power may result in electrical shock.
If you use an AC/DC power adapter, make sure
that the supply voltage to the MicroView is 11 to
25 volts DC and of the correct polarity. Incorrect
voltage may damage the MicroView.

3. The MicroView performs a powerup sequence.
Initial Setup and Mode Menu 3-3
Powerup Sequence
The powerup sequence is automatic, you do not have to respond to
the screens. During the Power Up or Reset sequence, the MicroView
performs a series of initialization and diagnostic tests.
1. When power is first applied, the display will light and remain
blank for approximately one second.
2. Then the display is tested, every pixel of the display is turned on
for one second. If all of the pixels do not turn on, the display
may be defective.
3. The display is again cleared and the MicroView verifies the
system memory checksum, program checksum and system RAM.
4. If all tests pass, the MicroView will flash the boot code power–
up screen for one second.

to controller Input and Output files. Appendix C provides a listing of
the applicable file types for MicroLogix controllers along with
step-by-step instructions.

Select Mode to place the controller in either the run or program
modes. This may be useful if you need to halt the controller for
memory transfers.
Prgrm
Use the Program transfer function to initiate a transfer of data between
a MicroView and a MicroLogix controller. The Program Mode uploads

Master Security Code
The master security code provides access to all screen security codes
and allows them to be modified. The master security code is initially
set by the application program written using the MDPS or DPS
software. See Publication No. 2707-PM002B-EN-P or 2707-801 (April
1995 or later) for more information.
Two master security codes perform special functions:
00000000 allows the operator to modify the existing master code without entering
the current code.
99999999 does not allow operator to modify security codes. Changing of the master
security code is only permitted through DPS software.

Note: Security codes can contain the wildcard character “?”. Any
entered value will be treated as a match to the wildcard. You must
make sure that the master security code is different from security
codes using wildcard entries. Otherwise the master security code may
be seen as a security code. For example, if the:
Security Code =12??????
Master Code =12368794
When the master security code above is entered, the MicroView
interprets it as a security code.
Use scaling to convert data from a controller to engineering units such
as gallons or psi. When scaling is disabled, the values are not
converted. Refer to the MicroView Programming Software Manual for
a description of how values are scaled. The scaling factor is
determined by the application designer, it cannot be changed by the
operator.
