Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
This chapter provides an overview of the PanelView 1200 terminals. It
describes:
the types and features of PanelView 1200 terminals
the available options and accessories
the supported Allen-Bradley programmable controllers and remote I/O
scanners
PanelView 1200 terminals provide a fast, easy, flexible and low cost
operator interface for a PLC system. They are ideal replacements for
traditional control panels.
PanelView 1200 terminals are pre-assembled and ready to install in a
control panel cut-out or 19” rack. They connect directly to any
Allen-Bradley remote I/O link.
An Allen-Bradley, IBM or compatible computer (the development
computer) is used to create PanelView 1200 terminal screens and
functions. See the PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual for
information on PanelBuilder Development Software for DOS. See the
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual for
more information on PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for
Windows.
