Tag Database
Each application must have a tag database. This database can be
specific to that application (private), or common to several
applications (shared). The tag database contains tags. Tags are
mnemonic representations of numeric addresses on the PLC.
Each tag is assigned an appropriate address location in the
programmable controller. In turn, the tags are assigned to objects,
I/O control options, and terminal windows. The same tag can be
assigned to several objects.
Application Screens
Application screens contain objects the operator uses to monitor and
control the process. The application screens you create in
PanelBuilder 1400e appear on the PanelView terminal when the
application is running.
Alarm Screens
The Alarm History and Alarm Status screens provide information on
alarms that occur while the application is running.
Windows
System windows pop up on screens when the application is running,
providing information to the operator.
Although there are a number of pre-defined system windows that can
appear, the only ones you can configure in PanelBuilder 1400e are
the Information Message Window and the Alarm Message Window.
