Chapter 8 Create the Runtime Application
Run the Application You are now ready to validate the runtime application on the
PanelView Plus terminal to make sure that it will not exceed the
memory usage requirements of the terminal. The global connections
you configured earlier will let you monitor memory performance of
the terminal.
1. Press Run Application or the
[F2] function key on the
terminal to run the currently
loaded application.
2. Cycle through all the
runtime displays
continuously.
As you cycle through each display, tags are activated and cached into
memory. If you receive out of memory errors or warnings, your
application may be consuming too much memory. You can do one of
two things.
•
Modify your application to decrease memory usage.
•
Move the application to a PC-based platform such as an
industrial computer.
IMPORTANT
If your application is not communicating to the controller:
•
Check all cable connections.
•
Verify that the Target tab in RSLinx Enterprise Communication Setup
is configured correctly.
IMPORTANT
Cycle through all displays three to five times to get an average
of how much memory your application is consuming. Memory
usage will increase somewhat because of data logging, alarms
and other features that log to a file.
