Configuring PanelView
Operator Terminals
This chapter describes the power-up and online tests and how to
configure a PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e operator terminal.
The terminal operates in either Configure or Run mode. You can set
up the terminal in Configure mode and execute your application file
in Run mode. The terminal communicates with your PLC only in
Run mode, so set it to Run to monitor and control your PLC
application.
When you power up the terminal, several tests are done to determine
if there are any operational problems. When these tests are complete,
the terminal enters Configure or Run mode, depending on the Mode
Select Keyswitch setting.
Power On Self-Test (POST)
The BIOS and firmware validity are tested at power-up with the
power-on self-test (POST). If the test fails, an error message is
displayed that indicates the specific cause of the failure. If this
occurs, note the error message and contact your Allen-Bradley Sales
Representative.
Firmware Integrity Check
The firmware memory is also tested at power-up. If the firmware
memory test fails, the following message is displayed, followed by a
specific error message:
Firmware Upgrade Program Activated. x.x.x. MM–DD–YY
If this occurs, note the error message and contact your Allen-Bradley
Sales Representative.
