Analog touch screens are intended for single presses at a time. If
the touch screen is pressed in two locations at the same time, the
presses are averaged as a single press in-between the two
locations.
How to Connect Browser
The terminals can be connected to a browser using either a USB port or an
Ethernet network connection. Your computer should have at least an Intel
Pentium M 1400 MHz processor, with 512 MB RAM.
You must enter the IP address of the PanelView Component terminal into the
address field of your browser. You can find the IP address on the terminal
configuration screen under Communications.
USB Port
The PanelView Component terminals have a USB device port to support
communication with the terminal using TCP/IP.
Before connecting your computer to the USB port of the PanelView
Component terminal, you must first install the Allen-Bradley
PanelView USB remote NDIS Network Device driver on your
computer. Refer to
With the USB device port connected to a computer, use your computer’s browser
to connect to the terminal. The IP address of the USB port is always
169.254.254.2.
Install the USB Driver on page 65.
The USB device port is for maintenance or programming only, and
is not intended for normal run-time operation.
Publication 2711C-UM001I-EN-P - July 2014 13
Chapter 1 Overview
IMPORTANT
Ethernet Port
The C400, C600 and C1000 terminals have an Ethernet port. The Ethernet port
supports both static IP addresses and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) assigned IP addresses. If using static IP addressing, then you manually
set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. If using DHCP, then
the server automatically assigns an IP address, the subnet mask, the default
gateway, and the DNS and WINS server.
If a terminal is set for DHCP and is not on a network or is on a
network that does not have a DHCP server (or the server is not
available), it will automatically assign itself an Automatic Private
IP Address (or auto IP address). The auto IP address will be in the
range of 169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255.
The terminal makes sure the auto IP address is unique from any
other auto IP address of other devices on the network. The
terminal can now communicate with other devices on the network
that have IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range (and a subnet
mask of 255.255.0.0).
PanelView Explorer
How to Display Help
PanelView Explorer is the design environment for the PanelView Component
terminals. You access the design environment through your browser while
connected to the terminal. Applications created in the design environment are
simultaneously viewed on the connected terminal. In addition to graphic objects
and drawings, the design environment provides support for communication, tags,
alarms, security, recipes, and language support.
PanelView Explorer software provides extensive help for the design environment.
Context-sensitive help is available for:
•each navigation tab.
• each object in the object palette.
• any dialog that has a Help button.
Click the ? on the application toolbar to view the help.
No Help Files Found
To view help information in your browser, you must download the help files from
the PanelView Component web site, copy them to external media, and then
insert the media in the terminal. External media can be a USB flash drive or an
SD memory card.

Overview Chapter 1
TIP
Terminal Users
Copy the help files to the WebHelp folder off the root directory of the SD
memory card or USB flash drive into a folder named \WebHelp.
Emulator Users
Copy the help files to the WebHelp folder in the shared directory of the emulator,
for example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared
Documents\Allen-Bradley\PanelView Component Emulator\WebHelp.
View Help Files
After copying the help files to external media and inserting the media in the
terminal, you can view the help files by closing this help window and clicking the
help ? button again.
When receiving updated help files, you may have to clear cache in
your browser before the new help files display.
Peripheral Connection
View the PanelView Explorer online Help for detailed instructions.
PanelView Component terminals have a USB host port. You can power USB
peripherals directly from the PanelView Component terminal. If the USB
peripheral is not powered directly from the PanelView USB port either:
• install the USB peripheral in the same enclosure as the PanelView terminal
and make sure it is connected to the same ground system.
• connect to the USB peripheral through a galvanically isolated hub.
ATTENTION: Removing the USB flash drive or SD card, from the
PanelView Component terminal, while a firmware upgrade is in process,
could corrupt the firmware and make the terminal unusable. Take
precautions to prevent the USB flash drive or SD card from being
accidentally disconnected. Also, do not power off the terminal while a
firmware upgrade is in progress.
ATTENTION: USB hubs can produce unexpected behaviors and as a
result are not recommended.

Configuration Mode
This chapter covers topics that show how to use the Configuration mode of your
PanelView component terminal.
• Configuration mode
• Configuration interfaces
•Terminal settings
• Managing applications and files
• Transferring applications
•Transferring user-defined objects
The terminal can be configured from either the design time or the runtime user
interface. The design-time user interface requires a computer browser connected
to the terminal's web service, where the runtime user interface uses configuration
screens on the terminal. The configuration data for a terminal refers to the
collection of all of the system interface parameters.
Access to the Terminal’s Configuration
Design-time Configuration
17Publication 2711C-UM001I-EN-P - July 2014 17
The design-time configuration is when the terminal is actually hosting web server
content that represents a visualization of the terminal's properties and files. You
can only design for the terminal type that you are connected to.
Chapter 2 Configuration Mode
TIP
When a new application is created, the design time automatically navigates to the
first screen and assigns it as the startup screen.
The design-time environment is compatible with these operating systems:
• Windows 2000 (catalog numbers 2711C-T4T, 2711C-T6M,
2711C-T6C, 2711C-T6T, and 2711C-T10C only, using an Ethernet
connection to connect to the terminal)
•Windows XP
•Windows Vista
•Windows 7
Connecting to a terminal using a USB connection is not compatible
with Windows 2000 operating system.
The PanelView Component Emulator is not compatible with Windows
2000 operating system.
A user application can be created or edited through a browser connected to a
terminal or emulator, or through PVc DesignStation. Ethernet network and USB
connections are supported for connection to a physical terminal. For the
emulator, the emulator and browser must be on the same computer.

still see on-screen activity. When you press a key, the display is restored to
full brightness.
• Screen saver and dimmer – activates the screen saver and dims the display
when the idle timeout elapses.
• Disable screen saver and dimmer – keeps the display on.
The screen saver timeout is the amount of idle time that must elapse before the
screen saver, dimmer, or screen saver and dimmer activates. The idle time can be
adjusted between 1…60 minutes.
The brightness intensity of the screen saver or dimmer can be adjusted between
1…100%.

format. The name of the default screen saver is 'Screen Saver' with a .bmp file
type. You can replace the default screen saver with your own bitmap image, but
the file must have the same name as the default screen saver.
To replace the screen saver image:
1. Create a small bitmap image no larger than 128 x 128 pixels.
