The two keypads differ only in size. The large keypad is 384 pixels
wide by 480 pixels high. The small keypad is 192 pixels wide by
480 pixels high.
Both keypads operate in exactly the same way. They include number
keys, Clear, Delete, Enter, and the minus sign. The keypad may
include a decimal point, depending on which Decimal Point option
you choose.
Important: For Remote I/O applications, and ControlNet Scheduled
tags, the PanelView terminal can retain the current
values for the object’s controls, even after the terminal
is turned off. Depending on how the Application
Startup operation is defined, the retained value (last
state) or initial value (default) is sent to the PLC when
power is reapplied.
For DH+ applications, ControlNet Unscheduled tags,
and Modbus applications, the current value cannot be
retained. Depending on how the Application Startup
operation is defined, the initial value or nothing
(default) is sent to the PLC when power is applied.
For details on configuring Application Startup
operation, see “Application Startup” in Chapter 5 of the
PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator
Terminals User Manual.
A maximum of 16 digits can be displayed on the scratchpad of the
Small and Large Numeric Entry Keypads. The decimal point and
minus sign use one digit each. The assigned tag’s data type
determines the range of PLC values.
Using a Keyboard
You can use the keyboard to enter numeric values to either the large
or small Numeric Entry Keypad objects.
Only the PanelView 1000e and 1400e terminals support a keyboard.
For connection details, see “Using a Keyboard or Bar Code Reader”
in Chapters 2 and 4 of the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e
Operator Terminals User Manual.
To enter values, the Numeric Entry Keypad object must be active.
When an object is active, a cursor appears in the display area of the
object.
