Downloading and Running the
Application
When you’ve completed all the work, you can validate your
application. Then you can download it to the PanelView terminal and
run it. Validating your application ensures it is free of errors.
Your application is validated automatically before it can be
downloaded to a PanelView terminal. Validation checks for errors,
including overlapped buttons, objects that are off the screen, and so
on. You can also validate your application manually at any time.
To validate your application:
1. Click the Application Window or choose from the toolbar.
2. Choose Validate from the Tools menu or press F9.
The Validation Results window appears. It lists any errors
present.
If there are errors, go back to the screen or message editor and
correct the errors.
When there are no errors, you’re ready to download.
You may have noticed that the AB\PB1400E\TUTORIAL directory
contains existing *.pvc files. These files are applications that have
been completed according to the instructions in the tutorial and are
ready to be downloaded.
If you wish, you can download the file you’ve just created. Before
you do, make sure you save it. However, if you’ve deviated from the
tutorial, your file may not work with the PLC ladder logic that comes
with the tutorial. We therefore recommend that you use one of the
existing tutorial files.
To download an existing tutorial file, you must open the appropriate
application:
•
tutork.pvc—for keypad terminals
•
tutort.pvc—for touch screen terminals
To open the appropriate application, follow the instructions in
Chapter 4. Because these are *.pvc applications, you don’t need to
change the List Files of Type field.
