Preface

Preface

Manual Overview	This manual describes the features and specifications of PanelView 1200
	terminals. PanelView 1200 terminals are available as keypad or touch
	screen terminals, with color or monochrome display.
	Note The term ªPanelView 1200º 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
Intended Audience	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 dynamicÐthey 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 ªretainsº 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.

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.

P-2

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.

PanelView 1200 Features	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 19º 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 12º display in monochrome (amber) or color. Color terminals can display 8 colors at a time from a choice of 16.

Direct Connection to any Allen Bradley 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 racksÐor fractional racksÐwith 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.

Factory Installed Battery Provides Extended Back up

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.

Chapter 1

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator

Terminals

User Definable Keys

The keypad terminal has 21 user-definable keys on its front panel. Each one can perform a variety of operationsÐfrom 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 displayedÐlocal, information or alarmÐthere 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 User

Terminals

Built in 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 touch cell is pressed.

allow the PLC controller to activate the beeper at the terminal

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 ªAlarm Contactsº 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.

RS 232 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 & RS 232 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 Back up 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.

1-7

Chapter 1

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator

Terminals

an EPROM can be used for application file back-up. The application file is programmed into the EPROM with a PROM burner. Once programmed, it cannot be erased or overwritten.

an EEPROM can be used for application file back-up or for extra application memory

when the EEPROM is used for application back-up, the downloaded application file is automatically copied to the EEPROM during the download operation

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.

Functional Variations Among Terminal Types

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.

foreground and background colors can be assigned only for color PanelView 1200 terminals. Inverse video and intensity settings are assigned for monochrome terminals

Keypad Terminals

The keypad terminal has:

21 user-definable function keys

a keypad for entering numeric values

up, down, left and right arrow keys

Home, Enter, Select, Cancel, Raise, Lower and Backspace keys

The user-definable function keys on keypad terminals are pre-labeled at the factory, but you can create key labels (legends) to suit your application. The replacement key legends slide in from the rear of the faceplate. The included Legend Kit provides blank card material that can be written on with most types of markers or paste-on labels.

Function Keys

When creating screens, you can assign any of the 21 function keys to objects so that they can perform a wide variety of functions, ranging from turning on PLC input bits to changing screens. Keys can have different functions for each screen created.

Numeric Keypad

The keypad terminal has a numeric input keypad that includes number keys, Enter, Backspace, ± (negative), and . (decimal) keys. When you need to make a numeric entry, you call up a pop-up Numeric Entry Scratchpad that displays the numbers as you type.

The Numeric Entry Scratchpad is displayed on the screen any time the operator is required to enter numeric data and send it to a PLC controller.

Objects Common to All PanelView 1200 Terminals

Chapter 1

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator

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 informedÐvia a common PLC input addressÐwhich 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.

ªGoto Screenº Button allows the operator to switch to an assigned screen.

ªReturn To Previous Screenº 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.

1-13

Chapter 1

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator

Terminals

List Indicator displays a list of PLC states and highlights the current state. The value of the PLC address determines the item that will be highlighted in the list.

Set Value Button transfers a pre-defined value to the PLC controller via the assigned PLC input address.

Increment Value Button increases the value stored at a PLC input address each time the button is pushed. If the button is held down, the PLC controller input value continues to increase to a pre-assigned upper limit.

Decrement Value Button decreases the value stored at a PLC input 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.
	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.
Objects for the Keypad	The following objects can be displayed only on a keypad terminal:
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 ªpointº 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 ªknowsº the current selection.
	Both the set bit and numeric input cursor points can be used on the same
	screen.
Objects for the Touch Screen	The following objects can be displayed only on a touch screen terminal:
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.
Information and Alarm	The Information and Alarm Windows can pop up on the screen at any time
Windows	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.
	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	The following options can be controlled by the PLC controller:
Options	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

Terminals

The PanelView 1200 terminal appears as one or more I/O rack(s) to a PLC controller. It has the same configurabilityÐand moreÐas a standard I/O rack. Refer to your applicable Allen-Bradley Programmable Controller and Remote I/O Scanner user's manuals for various connection and remote I/O configuration limitations.

PLC 5/11, 5/15, 5/20, 5/25, 5/30, 5/40, 5/60 and 5/250 Processors

You can connect one or more PanelView 1200 terminals directly to a PLC-5 Remote I/O Port (in Scanner Mode) along with other I/O racks. If the PLC-5 Remote I/O Port is used in the adapter mode, one or more PanelView 1200 terminals can be connected to that PLC-5 along with other I/O racks via a 1771-SN I/O Subscanner Module.

All Series C Rev A and later terminals can communicate at 230.4K baud with any PLC-5 capable of supporting that baud rate.

If you are using a PLC-5/15 with partial rack addressing and block transfers, you must use PLC-5/15 series B, revision J or later.

PLC 5/10 Processor

One or more PanelView 1200 terminals can be connected to this processor along with other I/O racks via the 1771-SN I/O Subscanner Module.

PLC 3 and PLC 3/10 Processors

One or more PanelView 1200 terminals can be connected directly to a

PLC-3 or PLC-3/10 remote I/O Scanner along with other I/O racks.

If you are using a 1775-S4A Remote Scanner/Distribution panel, you must use Series B or higher.

PLC 2 Family Processors via 1771 SN or 1772 SD2

This includes the PLC-2/05, 2/15, 2/30, etc. One or more PanelView 1200 terminals can be connected to these processors along with other I/O racks via the 1771-SN I/O Subscanner Module.

If you are using a 1772-SD2 Scanner/Distribution panel, you must use revision 3 or later.

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.

The following illustration shows the rear panel of a PanelView 1200 terminal. Note the location of the Mode Select Keyswitch, the brightness control, (Monochrome terminals), and the contrast control (Color terminals).
