This manual describes the features and specifications of PanelView1200
terminals. PanelView 1200 terminals are available as keypad or touch
screen terminals, with color or monochrome display.
Note The term “PanelView 1200” is the new name for PanelView
terminals. It refers to all 12-inch CRT PanelView terminals, from Series A
upwards.
The manual provides information and examples for:
installing and maintaining a PanelView 1200 terminal
operating a PanelView 1200 terminal
connecting a PanelView 1200 terminal to an Allen-Bradley
Programmable Logic Controller (PLCr)
troubleshooting a PanelView 1200 terminal
This manual is written to help you install and maintain PanelView 1200
terminals.
Glossary of Terms
The following terms are used throughout this manual.
Application File: A PanelView 1200 terminal application file contains a
series of screens and configurations which, when interpreted and executed
by PanelView 1200, replace the functions of a control panel of buttons,
switches and indicators. The screens are created on a development
computer running PanelBuilder Development Software or
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows, and then saved
in an application file on the development computer’s disk. The application
file is then downloaded to a PanelView 1200 terminal where it stays in
battery-backed RAM.
Battery-Backed RAM: Application files are stored in the PanelView 1200
terminal’s random access memory (RAM). The RAM is backed by an
internal battery so that the application file and the status of the retentive
objects are maintained even when AC power is switched off.
P-1
Preface
Hex Files: Application files which have been converted into Intel Hex
format for transfer to user PROMs.
Object: An object is an individual component of a PanelView 1200 screen.
Each object takes the function of a button, switch or indicator on a control
panel. The objects can be dynamic—they can change color or value and
can display information. Each object is defined by the developer of the
PanelView 1200 screen. Examples of objects include Push Buttons,
Selectors, Bar Graphs, Numeric Displays, etc.
PanelBuilder Software: The program runs on the development computer
to develop application files for PanelView 1200 terminals. There are two
types of PanelBuilder software: PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows and PanelBuilder Development Software for DOS.
PanelView 1200 Terminal: A type of Allen-Bradley terminal with a touch
screen or rugged keypad, designed for easy operator interaction with a
PLC system over the Remote I/O link.
Retentive: An object is described as retentive when it “retains” its PLC
value in the PanelView 1200 terminal after a screen change, an operator’s
object action, and even after the terminal’s power cycle. For example,
when a maintained push button is pressed, the corresponding PLC input is
set to 1 and will not change until the button is pressed a second time.
Retentive objects always display their current states or values.
Screen: A display containing objects (such as push buttons or bar graphs)
which can monitor and control a PLC system. Screens are created with
either type of the PanelBuilder software.
SRAM: Static Random Access Memory. A type of memory that can
maintain its contents through the use of a battery. It does not require
continuous refreshing to maintain its contents.
System Memory: The read-only memory that contains the operating
firmware for the PanelView 1200 terminal.
Upload/Download: Downloading is the process of transferring an
application file from a development computer running either type of the
PanelBuilder software, to a PanelView 1200 terminal. Uploading is the
process of transferring an application file from the terminal back to the
development computer.
P-2
User PROM: The read-only memory chip that can be used to contain a
back-up copy of an application file, or to increase the memory available for
the application file from 64K to 128K. The chip can be either an EPROM
or an EEPROM.
Preface
There are two types of user PROM chips that can be used in PanelView
1200 terminal: EPROMs and EEPROMs. EPROMs are Electrically
Programmable Read Only Memory chips. EEPROMs are Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips.
The user PROMs store application files in memory that is protected from
power failure and failure of the internal battery. A PROM burner is
required to copy application files into a user EPROM.
If your system includes a user EEPROM, application files downloaded
through the Upload/Download cable will be stored in both battery-backed
RAM and in the EEPROM. No PROM burner is required.
Window: An area on the screen containing information. These windows
are triggered by the PLC controller and overlay any screen that is
displayed.

Wide Range of Applications
PanelView 1200 terminals provide many pre-configured functions
allowing for a wide range of applications across many industries. This
enables you to standardize on PanelView 1200 terminals, thereby
simplifying service stock and reducing the cost and time required to train
your personnel on many different products.
Cost Optimized for OEM Applications
Since PanelBuilder software resides outside the PanelView 1200 terminal,
the terminal is not burdened with this overhead.
Rugged, High Quality Design
PanelView 1200 terminals are designed to strict Allen-Bradley
specifications, with high grade components and rugged construction for
long trouble-free operation in harsh industrial environments.
Panel or 19" Rack Mounting
All PanelView 1200 terminals can be panel or 19” rack-mounted. Keypad
and stud-mounted touch screen terminals are rated NEMA 4X (Indoor use
only). Clip-mounted touch screen terminals are rated NEMA 12.

Chapter 1
Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
12" Monochrome or Color Display
All PanelView 1200 terminals have a 12” display in monochrome (amber)
or color. Color terminals can display 8 colors at a time from a choice of 16.
Direct Connection to any AllenBradley PLC Remote I/O Link
You can integrate a PanelView 1200 terminal quickly and easily into any
PLC system capable of supporting the Allen-Bradley 1771 Remote I/O
Link.
A PanelView 1200 terminal appears as one or more PLC I/O racks on an
Allen-Bradley PLC Remote I/O link; it can be configured as up to 8
different racks—or fractional racks—with any valid PLC rack numbers.
Communications between the PLC controller and the PanelView 1200
terminal are provided through the discrete I/O image table area, and up to 5
block transfers (up to 32 words per block). Block transfers allow you to
transfer more information at a time than does discrete I/O. The
PanelView 1200 terminals can also communicate to the SLC-5/02
controller through the use of the 1747-SN module.
Direct or Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O Downloading
Application files can be downloaded from the development computer to
the terminal via the Upload/Download cable (an RS-232 connection), or
via a Data Highway Plus, using the PLC-5 Pass-Through feature.
By using the Data Highway Plus for downloading, you can download to
several terminals from a single development computer without having to
go from terminal to terminal, connecting the Upload/Download cable for
each one.
The built-in battery maintains power to the terminal’s memory so the
application file is not lost when the terminal is switched off. PanelView
1200 terminals come equipped with a RAM memory chip that requires
minimal power from the lithium battery. Also, the battery is not burdened
when AC power is applied to the terminal. This provides exceptional life
for the battery, which is expected to last for the life of the terminal.

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
UserDefinable Keys
The keypad terminal has 21 user-definable keys on its front panel. Each
one can perform a variety of operations—from turning on PLC input bits
to changing screens. PanelView 1200 terminals are extremely flexible:
each key can be assigned a different function for each screen.
Custom Keypad Legend Inserts
The function keys on keypad terminals are pre-labeled at the factory, but
you can create key labels to suit your application. The included Legend Kit
provides blank card material that can be written on with most types of
markers or paste-on labels. Replacing the labels on the terminals is a quick
and easy task.
Touch Screen Terminal for Simplicity and Space Saving
A touch-sensitive surface overlays the monitor on the touch screen
terminal. Selections are made by touching the display directly. Since a
keypad is not required, these terminals require less panel space.
Message and Alarm Handling Utilities
A PanelView 1200 terminal application can be set up with stored messages
that can be triggered by the PLC controller. There are three kinds of
message displays:
Local Message Displays can appear in any free location on a specific
screen (875 messages maximum)
Information Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently
displayed (496 messages maximum)
Alarm Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently displayed
(496 messages maximum)
For each type of message displayed—local, information or alarm—there is
a message list. Using PanelBuilder software, you can add or edit messages.
Messages are numbered and listed in numerical order in the message list.
See your PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows UserManual for more information on PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows. See your PanelBuilder Development Software UserManual for more information on PanelBuilder Development Software for
DOS.

Builtin Clock
The battery-backed clock runs even when the terminal is powered down.
PanelView 1200 can display the current time and date and can send it to
the PLC controller. The clock may also be set by the PLC controller.
Audio and Visual Feedback
A PanelView 1200 terminal can be configured to:
activate a beeper each time a function button or touch cell is pressed
light up a screen button (if it has a border) when its function key or
allow the PLC controller to activate the beeper at the terminal
touch cell is pressed.
allow Alarm Messages to activate the beeper at the terminal
Alarm Relay
You can attach a horn or a warning light to the PanelView 1200 terminal’s
alarm relay. Relay connections are made via the terminal block labeled
“Alarm Contacts” at the rear of the terminal. Specific alarm messages, or a
PLC program, can then trigger the relay.
Attention The Alarm Relay must be used only as a warning
system, not for control purposes.
RS232 Port
All PanelView 1200 terminals include one RS-232 port for printing on-line
alarm messages, uploading and downloading application files, and printing
screens.

PanelView 1200 Terminal Diagnostics
When a PanelView 1200 terminal starts up, it performs a number of fault
detection tests. The PanelView 1200 terminal also performs continuous
tests for fault conditions when it is communicating online with the PLC
controller. In the event of a fault, a message appears, pinpointing the exact
nature of the fault.
An operator can also initiate diagnostic tests from the terminal.
For a description of the diagnostic tests, and the various fault conditions,
refer to Chapter 2, PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions, in this manual.
Options and Accessories
Optional hardware is available that you may find convenient to use with
either type of the PanelBuilder software and the PanelView 1200 terminal.
For catalog numbers see tables 1.A and 1.B.
Upload/Download Cable
The Upload/Download cable connects the development computer’s RS-232
Port to the PanelView 1200 terminal’s RS-232 Port. You use it to transfer
applications serially between the development computer and the
PanelView 1200 terminal If you have a number of terminals, you may want
to order more than one Upload/Download cable.
Optional Remote Keyswitch & RS232 Port Assembly
On the back of all PanelView 1200 terminals is a Mode Select Keyswitch
and RS-232 Port. The Remote Keyswitch and RS-232 Port Assembly
allows you to mount the port and keyswitch to the front of your control
panel while maintaining a NEMA 4X seal. This is convenient if you don’t
have easy access to the rear of the PanelView 1200 terminal. See Chapter
3, Installing Your PanelView 1200 Terminal, for details on mounting and
dimensions.
Optional EEPROM or EPROM for Backup or Additional Application
Memory
Earlier PanelView 1200 terminals contained two sockets for optional
EPROM or EEPROM chips. Series D and E PanelView 1200 terminals
have one socket for an optional EPROM/EEPROM, called the user PROM.

an EEPROM can also be used to increase the memory available for
application file storage from 64K to 128K. If the EEPROM is used in
this way, it cannot be used as back-up for the application file.
Keypad Terminals
The terminals are configured almost identically with these exceptions:
buttons are set up differently on keypad terminals and touch screen
terminals
certain screen objects are specific to keypad terminals, others to touch
screen terminals. For more information on objects see your
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual,
or your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual.

input control bit, as long as the button is held.
Momentary Push Button (Normally Closed) resets a PLC input
control bit that is normally set to 1. This bit stays off as long as the
button is pressed.
Latched Input Push Button turns on a PLC input control bit and holds
the bit on until the PanelView 1200 terminal sees a PLC output bit
(handshake bit) turn on.
Maintained Push Button turns on a specific PLC input control bit until
the button is pressed a second time.
Interlocked Push Buttons are several push buttons functioning as a
group. When you press one of the buttons, it cancels the other buttons
and makes the selection. The PLC controller is informed—via a
common PLC input address—which button in the group is the currently
selected option.
Control List Selector with Enter contains a vertical list of operator
choices. An operator can use the object’s Up Cursor and Down Cursor
buttons to move an arrow through the available selections. The selection
is sent to the PLC controller only when the Enter button is pressed.
Control List Selector without Enter contains a vertical list of choices.
The operator uses the object’s Up Cursor and Down Cursor buttons to
move through the available selections. The current selection is
automatically sent to the PLC controller via the object’s PLC input
control address.
“Goto Screen” Button allows the operator to switch to an assigned
screen.
“Return To Previous Screen” Button switches back to the previous
screen.
Screen List Selector allows an operator to choose a screen from a list.

Numeric Data Display displays the current value of an assigned PLC
controller address (binary, BCD, or integer). Scaling (Y=Mx+b) and
other options can be used to display the number in appropriate units.
ISA Symbols (32 in total) allow you to assign display attributes to four
possible states for each symbol object. The symbols have two sizes:
large and small.
Bar Graphs can be used to monitor changing conditions, such as
temperature or fluid levels. Each graph can be up to 80 characters wide
and 24 characters high.
Time Display can be located anywhere on the screen.
Date Display can be located anywhere on the screen.
ASCII Input allows the PanelView 1200 terminal operator to send
ASCII strings of up to 64 characters to the assigned PLC input address.
Scrolling List object is an extended and enhanced control list
selector/list indicator that is not limited by the number of lines on the
screen. The Scrolling List can consist of any combination of local
message display, multistate indicator, and numeric display lists with up
to 999 items in each list. The Scrolling List object reduces PLC ladder
logic and addressing typically needed to display and edit large amounts
of data.

Screen Print Button allows an operator to print any screen currently
displayed on the PanelView 1200 terminal.
Local Message Display can be defined as a rectangular area of any size,
and placed in any location on the PanelView 1200 terminal screen. A
PLC control address is assigned to the object, allowing the PLC
controller to trigger any one of up to 875 messages to appear in this
area.
ASCII Display is used to display a character string, sent from the PLC
controller, directly on the PanelView 1200 terminal. The display is
updated whenever the string changes.
Text is used for screen titles, to provide instructions, or for any text that
is not bound to an object.
Lines (Horizontal, vertical and diagonal) are used to illustrate, and to
separate sections of screens.
Objects for the Keypad
Terminal
Line Arrows are used to illustrate.
Line Connect Characters are used to connect lines and lines and
objects.
Boxes are graphic objects like lines, which can surround other objects or
simply illustrate.
Arcs are used to illustrate quarter, semi, and three quarter circles, as
well as circles. They can also be used to connect line objects to form
rounded corners.
Circles are composed of four arcs. They are used to illustrate.
The following objects can be displayed only on a keypad terminal:
Numeric Input Cursor Point consists of a numeric display and a
cursor character. This object can be used to enter numbers into an array
of numeric fields similar to an array of thumb-wheel switches on a
control panel. This object has an associated PLC input address in which
the value is communicated to the PLC controller.
Numeric Keypad-Enable Button pops up the Numeric Entry
Scratchpad in which the operator can enter a number. The number is
then stored in the specified PLC input address.
Screen Keypad-Enable Button pops up the Numeric Entry Scratchpad
in which the operator can enter a screen number. The screen with that
number is displayed.

Set Bit Cursor Point consists of a bit and a cursor character. This
object is used to “point” to a screen character. Several set bit cursor
points can be in the same screen. Each one can have a different
(user-defined) pointer; only the current pointer is visible and blinking.
The current cursor point’s input bit is always on, so the PLC controller
always “knows” the current selection.
Both the set bit and numeric input cursor points can be used on the same
screen.
Objects for the Touch Screen

Information and Alarm
Windows
The following objects can be displayed only on a touch screen terminal:
Keypad Screen Selector allows an operator to display a screen by
entering the screen number. The selector is available in large and small
sizes.
Numeric Keypad is used to send a value to the PLC controller. A PLC
input address is assigned to each Numeric Keypad; the value that the
operator enters is stored at this address. The keypad is available in large
and small sizes.
The Information and Alarm Windows can pop up on the screen at any time
to display important information:
Information Window displays a message when triggered by the PLC
controller. The window remains until the operator presses the Clear
button, or until the PLC controller clears it. There can be as many as
496 different messages for the Information Window.
Alarm Window is similar to the Information Window but with many
additional features. Each message can be configured to sound the audio
indicator (beeper), trip the alarm relay or print a message on a printer.
1-16
Alarms are time and date stamped and listed in the order they occur. The
operator can acknowledge the alarm, clear the display, silence the alarm,
view the Alarm History Screen, or view the Alarm Status Screen. There
can be as many as 496 different messages for the Alarm Window.

Summary of PLC Controlled
Options
The following options can be controlled by the PLC controller:
PLC Controlled Audio allows the PLC controller to control the
PanelView 1200 terminal’s audio beeper. A PLC bit address is assigned.
When the PLC controller sets this bit, the terminal’s beeper is activated.
This does not interfere with the Alarm Window’s use of the beeper.
PLC Controlled Alarm Relay allows the PLC controller to control the
PanelView 1200 terminal’s alarm relay. A PLC bit address is assigned,
and when the PLC controller sets this bit, the terminal’s alarm relay is
energized. This does not interfere with the Alarm Window’s use of the
relay.
PLC Controlled Alarm Quantity/Accum Time Reset allows the PLC
controller to reset the alarm count and the accumulated time-in-alarm
total. These totals are shown in the Alarm Status screen.
PLC Controlled Screen Number allows the PLC controller to control
which screen is displayed. When the PLC controller puts a screen
number in an assigned address, the PanelView 1200 terminal displays
the screen. This PLC controlled screen change always has precedence
over operator-controlled screen changes, and operator-generated screen
changes are allowed only if the PLC address contains 0.
Applicable Programmable
Controllers and Connections
PLC Controlled Screen Print allows the PLC controller to trigger a
printout of the screen displayed on the PanelView 1200 terminal.
PLC Controlled Time and Date allows the PanelView 1200 terminal
to read the time and date from the PLC controller and set its internal
clock.
PLC Controlled Clear Window clears the alarm window, the alarm
beeper and the alarm relay when a 0 to 1 transition is detected in the
assigned PLC address bit.
PLC Controlled Silence Alarms silences the beeper and deactivates
the alarm relay when a 0 to 1 transition is detected on this bit.
PanelView 1200 terminals can be connected to any Allen-Bradley 1771
Remote I/O Link. Applicable host controllers include almost all
Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers as well as certain IBM
computers, VME Controllers, and the DEC Q-Bus interface.

PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
This chapter describes how to use the PanelView 1200 terminal’s two
operating modes and discusses the power-up and on-line tests that the
terminal performs.
The PanelView 1200 terminal has two modes of operation: Configure
mode and Run mode. Configure mode allows you to set up the terminal,
and Run mode executes the application file. The PanelView 1200 terminal
communicates with your PLC controller only when it’s in Run mode, so set
it to this mode to monitor and control your PLC application.

Chapter 2
PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
With the optional Remote Keyswitch Assembly, you can access the Mode
Select Keyswitch and RS-232 port from the front of the rack where the
PanelView 1200 terminal is mounted.
For more information on the Remote Keyswitch Assembly, see the
instruction sheet supplied with that option.
Fault Conditions
There are two types of faults: major faults and minor faults.
Major Faults
If the PanelView 1200 terminal detects a major fault, it enters Major Fault
mode, and displays a message in the Major Fault Window, like this:
20201
While in Major Fault mode, the PanelView 1200 terminal cannot control or
monitor PLC controller functions. The operator must correct the problem
and restart the terminal, or switch modes.
In Run mode, the faults logged to the Major Fault Window cannot be
cleared. If the terminal is set to Configuration mode, the Major Faults
detected on power-up will be logged to the Minor Fault Window and can
be cleared from there.
2-2
While the PanelView 1200 terminal is in Major Fault mode, it appears as a
faulted rack to the host PLC controller. You can design your PLC program
to monitor the rack fault bits that correspond to the PanelView 1200
terminal’s rack assignments, and to respond whenever these bits indicate
that the terminal isn’t operating or communicating properly. See your PLC
controller and I/O scanner user’s documentation for details on how to use
the rack fault bits.
Minor Faults
If the PanelView 1200 terminal detects any minor faults, it disables normal
input entry and displays a message in the Minor Fault Window, like this:
Chapter 2
PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
Clear
20318
The operator must press the Clear button to resume normal operation. The
Clear button temporarily overrides the function that was previously
assigned to the associated function key or touch cells. Minor faults do not
affect PLC communications.
PowerUp Functions
When you power up the PanelView 1200 terminal, it performs a number of
tests for major or minor faults to determine if any problems will affect its
operation. If a major fault is detected, the system will enter Fault mode.
Once all the tests are successfully completed, the PanelView 1200 terminal
will go into Configuration or Run mode, depending on the Mode Select
Keyswitch setting.
Important If an application file is in battery-backed RAM and a user
memory PROM containing a different application file has been installed,
the application file in RAM will be overwritten with the application file in
user PROM at power up.
Checksum and Read/Write Memory Tests
At powerup, the Checksum tests verify the firmware memory, the
application file stored in the battery-backed RAM, and the user PROM.
There is also a read-write memory test which verifies the battery-backed
RAM.
if the firmware memory fails, it is a major fault
if the application file fails, it is a major fault
if the user PROM fails, it is a minor fault
if the battery-backed RAM fails, it is a major fault.
2-3
Chapter 2
PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
Important If the optional user EPROM or EEPROM is corrupted or not
installed, the terminal will display this fault message each time it is
powered up:
Clear
You can safely clear this message and continue. You can also disable this
message altogether, through the Configuration Mode Menu item User
EPROM/EEPROM
Power-up Test
, explained later in this chapter.
20200
If the battery fails and terminal power
is lost:
And no user PROM is installed
And the user EPROM/EEPROM contains
a backup application file
In the case of a corrupted application file, download the file again. If the
problem persists, your PanelView 1200 terminal requires servicing; contact
your Allen-Bradley representative.
Battery Failure Test
The battery should last the life of the PanelView 1200 terminal. However,
the battery is constantly monitored when the PanelView 1200 terminal is in
Run mode because the battery-backed RAM is so important to PanelView
1200 terminal operation.
If the battery should fail, a Minor Fault message will appear to inform the
operator. As long as the terminal’s power is not turned off, there is no
problem. If power is lost and restored to the terminal, the results depend on
whether there is a user PROM installed.
The following table lists the results of terminal power loss after battery
failure.
This happens:Fault level:What to do when terminal power is
The application file in batterybacked

Starting Up the Terminal in
Configuration Mode
When this occurs, the status window will continue to flash on and off until
the problem with the PLC controller is corrected.
Watchdog Test
The Watchdog test verifies that the watchdog circuit is able to reset the
terminal. If the PanelView 1200 terminal fails this test, it is a major fault,
and the terminal will require servicing by Allen-Bradley.
To start up your PanelView 1200 terminal in Configuration mode, set the
Mode Select Keyswitch to Configure and connect the power.
You’ll want to start up in Configuration mode until you’ve configured the
terminal and downloaded your application file. When in Configuration
mode, your PanelView 1200 terminal will appear as a faulted rack to your
PLC controller.
All major faults detected in Configuration mode will be displayed in the
Minor Terminal Fault Window and can be cleared by pressing the fault
window’s Clear button.

PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
Audio Response
The PanelView 1200 terminal can sound a beep whenever you press an
active touch cell or keypad. The PLC controller can also trigger this audio
indicator either directly with the PLC Controlled Audio, or through an
alarm message. The button, alarm and volume parameters can be
configured from the Audio Response screen. For more information, see
your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual, or your
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
Choose Audio Response to set:
the Touch Audio (for touch screen terminals) or Button Audio (for
keypad terminals) On or Off. The default setting is On. With the setting
On, the PanelView 1200 terminal beeps each time you press a button.
the Alarm Audio On or Off. The default setting is On. With the setting
On, both the PLC Controlled Audio bit and alarm messages can cause
the PanelView 1200 terminal’s built-in audio indicator to beep. Setting
this to Off will disable both the alarm messages and the PLC Controlled
Audio operation.
the Audio Volume level to High or Low. The default setting is High.
Alarm Relay
The alarm relay can be wired to an external alarm or warning light. This
relay is controlled by configuring an alarm message to activate the alarm
relay, or by defining a PLC Controlled Relay output bit (see your
PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual, or your PanelBuilder
1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual).
Use Alarm Relay to enable or disable the relay, and to test the alarm relay
by manually activating or deactivating it. The alarm relay test stops when
you exit the Alarm Relay screen or toggle relay test to Off.
Preset Operations
In the PanelBuilder software, you can preset the initial states or values of
certain retentive objects including Control Selectors, Interlocked Push
Buttons, Numeric Input objects, and other multi-state objects. These values
are PLC input states that are initially transferred to the PLC controller and
remain unchanged until altered by an operator.
2-10
Choose Preset Operations to set the operation of retentive objects.
Chapter 2
PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions
Attention If you upload an application file from a PanelView
1200 terminal, the file will contain input states or values based
on the last use of the terminal—not necessarily the terminal’s
original preset values. If you want the file to contain the presets,
press the Load Presets button before uploading. This resets the
terminal’s retentive input functions as well.

Address Source
You can choose between Application and Manual for the Address Source.
The first time that you enter this screen, the default is Application. When
you re-enter the screen, the values that were previously saved appear.
When you set the Address Source to Manual, you invalidate the application
file. When you set the Address Source back to Application, you revalidate
the application file. It will execute normally.
Important After a successful download of an application file, via
Pass-Through or serial port, the terminal automatically resets the Address
Source to Application, uses the application file parameters, and discards
the Manual Address parameters.
Application—When you choose Application, the terminal uses the
application file Pass-Through Address Source.
If the application file contains a pass-through configuration, its values
are displayed in the Manual Address Source area. If the application file
does not contain a pass-through configuration or there is no application
file present in the terminal, you will see asterisks displayed in the
Manual Address Source area. Without valid parameters in the Address
Source, the Pass-Through upload or download fails.
When you choose Application and then choose Save & Exit, the
terminal saves the Auto-Restart setting only.
Manual—You must toggle the Address Source to Manual before you
can change any of the Manual Address Source entries.
When you choose Manual, the following message pops up:

the following defaults:
You must set the Module Group and High/Low Byte parameters to
match the Pass-Through Block Transfer assignment in the file you
intend to download using Pass-Through.
The Starting Module, Rack Size, and Last Chassis parameters enable
you to assign the terminal as one of the racks already configured in the
PLC scan list. When replacing an existing PanelView terminal with a
new one, you don’t need to reconfigure the PLC before or after
Pass-Through Download.
When you set the Address Source to Manual and choose Save & Exit,
the terminal validates the Manual Address Source and saves the
Pass-Through rack assignment setting and that of Auto-Restart. The
terminal also invalidates the existing application file to ensure that the
new manual Pass-Through rack assignment does not conflict with
existing application file rack assignments.

the first 32 characters, used for printer control, will be replaced by
ASCII character 254 decimal illustrated above
double width/height characters will be replaced by a single normal sized
character and the appropriate number of blanks
Example: the letter A, displayed with double height and width,
occupies an area 2 characters high and 2 characters wide. Once printed,
the A will occupy the top left position leaving the other three characters
blank.
Printer Errors
Printer errors can’t be indicated to the terminal directly. The terminal can
detect a print error only if the hardware or software handshaking is enabled
and the appropriate serial lines are connected from the printer to the
terminal. So, if the printer is out of paper or offline, and handshaking is
enabled, the printer will signal the terminal to stop sending characters.
2-26
If the error persists for more than 30 seconds, a minor error will be
reported asking the operator to ensure the printer is online. Once the error
is corrected, the terminal will continue sending characters to the printer.
Important If you intend to use a serial printer, you will have to construct
your own cable. Use the pinout shown in Figure 3-2 to construct the
PanelView 1200 end of the cable. (Pin 20 detects the signal indicating
whether the printer is on or offline when using hardware handshaking.)
Consult your printer’s manual for the pinout at the printer end of the cable.

The PanelView 1200 terminal is designed so that you can install an
optional user PROM. With an EPROM chip, you must download your
application file through a PROM burner. With an EEPROM used for
application backup (not as extra application memory), the application file
is automatically copied to the EEPROM when it is downloaded into the
terminal.
An EEPROM can be used as backup for the application file or as 64K of
additional application memory, depending on its configuration in the
PanelBuilder software. For details, see the PanelBuilder Development
Software User Manual or the PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual.
20164
Attention Make sure the power cable is disconnected before you
open a PanelView 1200 terminal. You risk personal injury or
damage to equipment if you leave the power cable connected.
To install a user PROM:
1 Ensure the User EPROM/EEPROM Power-up test is enabled in the
Configuration Mode menu.
2 Disconnect the power cable, Remote I/O cable, and RS-232 cable.
3 Take the necessary precautions against electrostatic discharge. Ideally,
you should use an anti-static mat or wear a grounding wrist strap
whenever you work with any electronic components sensitive to
electrostatic discharges.

Important Series C and earlier PanelView 1200 terminals use two
PROMs as user memory. Series D and E terminals require one PROM to
achieve the same functionality. PanelView 1200 terminals prior to Series
D that have had the logic board replaced may also require only one
PROM depending on the revision of the logic board.
The PanelView 1200 terminal accepts either a 28-pin EPROM or a
32-pin EEPROM. The 32-pin socket in the terminal is large enough to
accommodate an EEPROM, as the following figure shows. If you find it
necessary to put a 28-pin EPROM into the 32-pin socket, be sure to
position the EPROM position the EPROM as far away from the notched
end of the socket as possible.

Installation Notes
PanelView 1200 terminals are installed in a rectangular cut-out in a panel.
Depending on the model, the terminals mount with mounting studs or
mounting clips.
With the stud-mount models (TA4, TC4, KA1, KC1) nuts are provided
with the terminal. A gasket is fixed on the faceplate. Tighten the terminal
down onto the enclosure to compress this gasket. The gasket has built-in
spacers that will not allow it to be over-compressed. You will notice that
the tightening torque increases significantly when you reach the correct
compression. At this point the tightening torque should not exceed 10
inch-pounds.

Chapter 4
Verifying the PanelView 1200
Terminal Operation
The remainder of this chapter discusses testing your PanelView 1200
terminal with an application file. If you or your developer have already
created an application with PanelBuilder software, use that file. If you are
installing a new terminal and are new to PanelBuilder software as well,
you may not have an application file ready to run on the PanelView 1200
terminal. If so, use the appropriate DEMO file.
Downloading the Application
File
Your PanelBuilder software includes demonstration files for both the touch
screen terminal (TC-DEMO) and the keypad terminal (KC-DEMO). If
your system does not yet include an application file of your own to
download and test, use the appropriate DEMO file for your terminal.
Matching Communications Settings
Before you can download or upload, the communication settings on the
PanelView 1200 terminal and in the PanelBuilder software must be the
same. The factory settings of the PanelView 1200 terminal and the
PanelBuilder software are matched. If you have not changed them, you can
download the DEMO or your other application file now.
To reset the terminal to its default settings:
1 Choose Serial Port from the Configuration Mode Menu.
2 Choose Factory Defaults.
If you need to reset the parameters in your PanelBuilder development
computer, see your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual or
the PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
4-2
Downloading the Application
Once you have matched the communication settings, you are ready to
begin downloading.
To download the application file:
1 Connect the PanelView 1200 terminal to the development computer
with the Upload/Download cable.
2 Set the PanelView 1200 terminal’s keyswitch to Configure Mode.
3 Choose Upload/Download from the terminal’s Configuration Mode
Menu.
Chapter 4
Verifying the PanelView 1200
Terminal Operation
4 In the development computer, choose an application file for
downloading, and start the Download. Choose your own application file
if you have one. If not, choose KC-DEMO if you are testing a keypad
terminal, TC-DEMO if you are testing a touch screen terminal.
For details on downloading an application file, see your PanelBuilder
Development Software User Manual, your PanelBuilder 1200
Configuration Software for Windows User Manual, or your PanelView
1200 Transfer Utility User Manual.
Running the Application File
Connecting the PLC Controller
Attention Do not connect a PLC controller to the terminal. You
do not have a functional application file, and you are not ready
to monitor a PLC controller.
Set the terminal’s keyswitch to Run.
Important When the PLC controller is not connected, the terminal will
display a flashing message PLC
safely ignore this message at this stage.
If the power-up screen for your application file appears on your terminal,
your file has been successfully downloaded. (If you are downloading a
DEMO file, the Main Menu will appear on the terminal.)
Try some or all of the items in your application to ensure that the various
screens and buttons are working.
Once the screens and buttons are behaving as expected, connect a
programming terminal to the PLC controller and monitor the PLC
controller’s I/O Data Table.

. You can
Attention Disable all the other I/O racks or modules that could
be affected by the PanelView 1200 terminal.
The PanelBuilder for DOS software installation includes file
\PDS\2711.ACH. Download this PLC application file to your PLC
controller if:
you are using one of the DEMO files as your application file, and
your PLC controller is a PLC-5
4-3
Chapter 4
Verifying the PanelView 1200
Terminal Operation
If you are using another PanelBuilder application file, you will have to use
your own PLC application program for whatever PLC controller you are
using.
At this stage, connect the PanelView 1200 terminal to the PLC controller,
but don’t have the PLC controller control any machines or processes.
Refer to your scanner and PLC controller manuals for information on how
to create scan lists that include all rack assignments for the PanelView
1200 terminal.
Once all PLC controlled machines and processes have been disabled, you
can put both the PLC controller and PanelView 1200 terminal into Run
mode, if you haven’t already done so.
Run through each screen in the application file, just as you would test a
new control panel’s inputs and outputs before starting up a new control
system. Use the programming terminal to monitor what happens inside the
PLC controller as you use each object, and then change the values within
the PLC controller to see how the PanelView 1200 terminal responds.
Testing the Whole System
Switch the PanelView 1200 terminal to Configure mode and back to Run
mode. You should also remove and re-apply power to the PLC controller
separately, and to the entire control system to ensure that the system
re-initializes as expected.
Testing Retentive Objects
Observe each object carefully if you are using any retentive input objects.
Switch the terminal off and on again, and switch it to Configuration mode
and back to Run mode. Watch the input addresses for each retentive object
to ensure that the values are initialized so that the the program will respond
safely.
Once you’ve checked all PLC values and determined that all objects,
windows, and PLC controlled functions communicate properly with the
PLC, you’re ready to set both the PLC and the terminal into Run mode and
test your application file in action.
4-4
Chapter 4
Verifying the PanelView 1200
Terminal Operation
Attention If the PLC program can control any specific machine
action or process that could result in unsafe or critical operation,
temporarily disable these specific operations. Keep people at a
safe distance from any PLC controlled machine. Finally, make
sure emergency stop buttons are easily accessible during control
system testing.
Step through each screen to make sure that valid states and values are
displayed. Test each object one at a time to ensure that the PLC system
responds as expected.
Power down, then power up the PanelView 1200 terminal, and switch the
terminal to Configure mode and back to Run mode. You should also
remove and re-apply power to the PLC separately, and to the entire control
system to ensure that the system re-initializes as expected.
Your PanelView 1200 terminal is now ready for use.

Maintaining Your PanelView 1200 Terminal
Maintaining Your PanelView
1200 Terminal
Follow the instructions below to keep your PanelView 1200 terminal
functioning at top efficiency.
Cleaning
Cleaning the Touch Screen
To clean the touch screen, use ethyl alcohol (ethanol) on a cotton gauze
pad. This is more efficient than isopropyl alcohol, (which leaves a slight
residue upon first application), and safer than MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).
MEK is harmless to the touch screen, but repeated applications will
discolor the bezel if the paint surface is broken or scratched.
Cleaning the Keypad
To clean the front of the keypad terminal, use a 50% solution of alcohol
(ethanol or isopropyl) in water on a cotton gauze pad or soft cotton cloth.
Mild soap or detergent and warm water is also permissible, but avoid
abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Enclosure
Use a 50% solution of alcohol (ethanol or isopropyl) in water on a cotton
gauze pad or soft cotton cloth to clean the enclosure.
Important The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, not directly to
the enclosure.
Important The introduction of fluid into the enclosure could damage
internal components.
CRT Intensity
The lower the intensity at which the CRT operates, the longer its life. You
can control the intensity of your screen with the brightness control on the
back of a monochrome unit, and with the color contrast control on the back
of a color unit.
5-1
Chapter 5
Maintaining Your PanelView 1200
Terminal
Changing the Filter on Color Units
Clean the filter on your color terminal whenever it appears to be in danger
of clogging up. Remove the filter cover from the back of the terminal by
popping it free of its plastic side clips. Remove the filter and clean it by:
removing the dust with a vacuum cleaner
washing with warm water and soap. Be sure the filter is dry before you
replace it.
The filter itself is made of flame-retardant urethane foam 0.13” (3.3mm)
thick, and measures 3.64” by 3.54” (92.5mm by 89.9mm). If your filter
should become unusable, replace it with part number 09362-M/45 from
Hitachi or Qualtek Electronics.
Screen Saver
The screen saver preserves the life of the PanelView 1200 terminal screen
by blanking the screen when no buttons have been pressed for a
user-definable period of time.
Choose Screen Saver from the Configuration Mode menu to display the
Screen Saver Timeout screen. Here you set the amount of time that should
pass without screen activity before the screen blanks. Elapsed time can
range from 1 to 999 minutes. A setting of 0 (zero) disables the screen
saver.
Mode changes, PLC generated Alarm Messages, Information Messages,
screen requests, or terminal fault messages also turn off the screen saver.
Degauss
If an external magnetic field (such as an electric motor starting up) occurs
near a color terminal, the CRT may retain some residual magnetic effect,
which in turn may affect the clarity of the display. Degaussing removes
any such residual magnetism by totally demagnetizing the CRT. Automatic
degauss occurs each time AC power is re-applied to the terminal and at
midnight (according to the PanelView 1200 terminal system clock) daily.
5-2
You can also degauss the color terminal manually by choosing Unit Tests
from the Configuration Menu. Then choose Degauss from the Unit Tests
screen. See Chapter 2, PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions, for more
information.
Chapter 5
Maintaining Your PanelView 1200
Terminal
When the color terminal degausses, there is a 6.5 amp surge. The surge
lasts less than 400 milliseconds. If your PanelView 1200 terminal is
powered by an isolated power source, be sure the line transformer can
handle this surge.
Strong Magnetic Fields
Since the PanelView 1200 terminal display contains a CRT (cathode ray
tube), the presence of strong magnetic fields near the terminal will distort
the image on the screen. Magnetic fields stronger than 80 milligauss at the
front surface of the terminal should be avoided.
