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.

Objects Common to All
PanelView 1200 Terminals
The following objects can be displayed on both the keypad terminal and
the touch screen terminal:
Momentary Push Button (Normally Open) turns on (sets to 1) a PLC
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.
Multistate Indicator is a display area with up to sixteen different
display states, each with a unique combination of text, colors and
attributes. The value in the PLC address determines which state is
displayed.

PLC controller input value continues to increase to a pre-assigned upper
limit.
address each time the button is pushed. If the button is held down, the
PLC controller value continues to decrease to a pre-assigned bottom
limit.
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.

This object can be used to control and monitor sequential operations in
both auto and manual modes or to provide operators with a selection
list.

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
Terminal
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.
Newly released Allen-Bradley programmable controllers that are not yet
listed will support PanelView 1200 terminals, as long as they support the
1771 remote I/O.

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.
