Introducing the PanelView
Terminals
This chapter provides an overview of the PanelView 1000e, 1200e,
and 1400e operator terminals. It describes:
•
types and features of the PanelView terminals
•
new features of the PanelView terminals
•
options and accessories
•
the supported Allen-Bradley PLC and SLC and Remote I/O
scanners for Remote I/O, Data Highway Plus (DH+),
and
ControlNet communications
PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e terminals are the latest
generation of PanelView terminals. Like the PanelView 1200
terminals, PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e terminals provide a
fast, easy, flexible, and low-cost operator interface for a PLC system.
They are ideal replacements for traditional control panels.
PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e terminals are pre-assembled and
ready to install in a control panel cutout or 19-inch rack with the
adapter kit. They connect directly to any Allen-Bradley Remote I/O,
Data Highway Plus (DH+), or optionally, ControlNet link.
An Allen-Bradley, IBM, or compatible computer (the development
computer) is used to create terminal screens and functions. Refer to
the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual for complete information.
Note: This note applies only if you are using versions earlier than
Version 4 of the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility. To use an
application file created by PanelBuilder Development Software for
DOS or PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows
(Version 5.0), you must upload the file to your development
computer using the original package or PanelView 1200/1400e
Transfer Utility, and then open it using PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software for Windows. It must then be saved as a .pvd
file format that can be downloaded to a PanelView terminal. Refer to
the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual and the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility User Manual
for details. Alternatively, the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility
will enable you to download the application to the PanelView
terminal without having PanelBuilder installed.
