IMPORTANT: An application file using the PLC Controlled Screen Print
feature is not compatible with Version 1 of the PanelView firmware. For
more details on version control see Chapter 2, Installing PanelBuilder.
Screen printing can also be initiated manually by means of the Screen Print
Button object. For more information on this object see Chapter 10, The
Objects. Refer also to the PanelView Terminal User Manual, Chapter 2,
PanelView Terminal Functions, for details on printer types.
Enable this option and assign a PLC output address to allow the PLC
controller to trigger PanelView to obtain the time and date from the PLC
controller and to reset its internal clock to match. This option is chiefly
useful for users who have a number of PanelView terminals connected to
the same PLC controller. It allows you to reset all the internal clocks in the
terminals through the PLC, rather than through operator input one at a
time.
Choose Enabled, and a menu opens, allowing you to set the Time and Date
Control Address and the Time and Date Address. Each of these menu
choices pops up an address definition window.
The “Time and Date Control Address” defines the PLC address that
triggers PanelView to get the time and date from the PLC controller.
When this bit changes from 0 to 1, PanelView resets its internal time
and date to agree with the time and date read from the PLC controller.
The “Time and Date Address” defines the PLC address from which the
PanelView will get the time and date. This must be in a 6 word block in
format:
