• Ethernet communication.

The sample application uses a MicroLogix 1100 controller but you can substitute another MicroLogix model.

Each chapter provides procedures for creating the sample application on a PanelView Component C600
color, touch-screen terminal.

If you want to create this application on another PanelView Component terminal, consider that:

• touch input is automatically enabled for touch-screen terminals.

• function keys must be assigned to objects on keypad terminals.

• text sizes will vary for different terminal sizes.

• color palette on monochrome terminals, shows only two colors, black and white.

The sample application and ladder logic required to run the application on a MicroLogix 1100 controller are
stored on the CD that ships with your terminal under the names:

• QuickStart_T6C.cha - sample application.

• QuickStart.rss - required ladder logic.

Chapter 1 Review Sample Application

Application Tags

The sample application uses read and write tags to define how objects interact with addresses in the
MicroLogix 1100 controller. The tags read or write data to a bit or integer file. Objects that do not read or
write to a controller address such as screen buttons or headings do not require a tag.

The same tags are used for DF1 or Ethernet communication.

This object Uses this tag To

Motor_Start Start the motor by writing the value 1 to the Boolean tag.

Motor_Stop Stop the motor by writing the value 0 to the Boolean tag.

Motor_AutoManual Set the motor to auto mode or manual mode by writing the

value 0 or 1 to the Boolean tag.

Read the tag value to determine the auto or manual mode of the
motor.

Motor_Status_Ind Read the tag value to determine the running or stopped status

of the motor.

Change_Speed Write the value of the entered motor speed, 0 to 1000 rpm, to

an unsigned integer address.

Motor_Speed Read the current value of the motor speed. The bar graph

displays the speed in a graphic format. The numeric display
displays the value in a numeric format.

This tag is also used to trigger an alarm if the motor speed
reaches 850 or 900 rpm.

Review Application Alarms

The speed of the motor in the sample application ranges from 0 to 1000 rpm. The tag that controls the speed
of the motor is MOTOR_SPEED. Two numeric alarms will alert you when the motor reaches its ideal
operating speed and when the speed nears its upper threshold.

• The first alarm is triggered when the value at the Motor_Speed tag rises to 850 or above. When the
alarm is triggered, the alarm banner opens and displays the message MOTOR AT IDEAL
OPERATING SPEED!

• The second alarm is triggered when the value at the Motor_Speed tag rises to 900 or above. When the
alarm is triggered, the alarm banner opens and displays the message MOTOR SPEED NEAR
THRESHOLD!

About the MicroLogix Controller

For the purpose of this quick start, the MicroLogix 1100 and PanelView components are not mounted in a
panel but are in a desktop configuration. This quick start does not provide MicroLogix specific information,
such as wiring, mounting, configuring, or loading the ladder logic file, QuickStart.rss.

For more information on the MicroLogix 1100 controller, refer to the Additional Resources in the preface of
this quick start.

Validate and Run Application Chapter 9

ATTENTION

Running a non-validated application may result in
unexpected behavior.

Validate the Application

Before you can run an application on the PanelView Component, it is strongly recommended that you
validate the application for errors and warnings. The application does not need to be error-free to run,
however, it is good practice to fix both errors and warnings to ensure expected system behavior. Validation is
not supported in PVc DesignStation 2.0 .

1. Click the Validate icon on

the application toolbar.

If the application passes
validation, the Validation
Results dialog looks like this.

If the application detects
warnings or errors, the
Validation Results dialog
might look like this. For
each warning or error, the
message identifies the
problem and its location.
Correct the problem and
then revalidate the
application.

The status bar shows a
Validation Reports link
that you can open. It
always shows the results
of the last validation.

2. Click Close.

3. Click the Save icon to save

the application.

4. Click the Close Application

icon to close the application.

For DF1 runtime operation, you will need to connect the 1761-CBL-PM02 between the RS-232 serial port of
the terminal and the Channel 0 port of the MicroLogix 1100 controller.

Ethernet Connection to MicroLogix Controller using Ethernet Cables

The MicroLogix 1100 controller and the PanelView Component terminal have only one Ethernet port. To
run the sample application from the Startup window of your browser, you will need an Ethernet switch. Use
standard Ethernet cables or the Ethernet crossover CAT5 cable, 2711P-CBL-EX04 to make the connections.

Download Ladder Logic to Controller

Before running the sample application, you must download the ladder logic file, QuickStart.rss, to the
MicroLogix controller. This ladder logic file is on the CD that ships with your terminal. The controller must
be in Run mode before you can run the sample application on the terminal.
