Preface
Terminology
Term (abbreviation)
Definition
Application Sequence Programs
User-modified programs that work together with the standard state machine logic to
control what the machine does while in the abort, clear, reset, run and stop states.
Auto/manual Operation
When the PanelView™ Component terminal is in Auto mode, the controller logic controls
the machine and monitors machine status.
When the PanelView Component terminal switches to Manual mode, the terminal takes
over control. Command buttons and numeric entry fields are available only when the
machine is in Manual mode.
Bill of Materials (BOM)
A list of components needed for your system.
Building Block (BB)
Tools for accelerating and simplifying the development of a Micro800 controller-based
application. A typical building block includes a starting Bill of Material (BOM), Computer-
Aided Design (CAD) drawings, Micro800 controller programs, PanelView Component
terminal applications, and a quick start document.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
A computer-based system developed to facilitate design of mechanical parts.
Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit (CCAT)
Software with application files and other information to speed the design and startup of
component-based machines.
Connected Components Workbench
Software environment for configuring or programming Micro800 controllers, PanelView
Component terminals, Kinetix 3 drives, and other component-level products.
Connected Components Workbench Project
A project consists of one or more of the following:
• Micro800 controller configuration
• Up to 256 Micro800 controller programs, each with program local variables
• Micro800 controller global variables
• PanelView Component terminal application
• Kinetix 3 drive parameter lists
Global Variables
Project variables that can be accessed by any program, including all I/O and system
variables.
State Machine Control Code
Machine logic for coordinating overall machine operation based on states. The state
machine broadcasts commands and receives feedback information from each of the
building blocks via user-modified application sequence programs.
Tags
A PanelView Component term for variables.
User-defined Function Blocks (UDFBs)
Function block instructions that can be used like standard function block instructions
within any Connected Components Workbench programming language. These can be
written by anyone using Connected Components Workbench software. Many UDFBs are
posted on the Rockwell Automation sample code website:
User-defined Object (UDO)
A collection of PanelView Component terminal screen objects that can be pasted into a
new screen.
