Verifying PanelView Terminal
Operation
This chapter describes how to verify that your PanelView 1000e,
1200e or 1400e terminal is operating and communicating correctly.
Information is also provided on connecting a PLC to the terminal.
To test your terminal:
1. Set the Mode Select Keyswitch to Configure mode.
2. Choose Terminal Diagnostics from the Terminal Configuration
menu. The Terminal Diagnostics screen is displayed.
3. Run the tests. Details of the Terminal Diagnostics are in Chapter 5
of this manual.
The remainder of this chapter discusses testing your terminal with an
application file. If you or your developer have already created an
application with PanelBuilder software, use that file. If you are
installing a new terminal and are new to PanelBuilder software as
well, you might not have an application file ready to run on the
terminal. If so, use the applicable DEMO file located in the file
\AB\PB1400e\DEMO.
Note: DEMO files require more than 256K of user memory. These
files will fit in the 1000e terminal. For 1200e/1400e terminals, we
recommend you download them to a PCMCIA card.
For DH+ or ControlNet, you must verify that the station number of
the terminal is correct. The terminal must have a valid application.
Then:
1. Set the Mode Select Keyswitch to Run mode.
2. Using 6200 software, enter the Who Active command. Versions
5.1 and below of the 6200 software will show the device type as
question marks (???). Newer PLC Programming software will
identify the terminal as PVe. The application name should also be
displayed with the terminal station number.
