Browser Configuration to Access the Design Environment The PanelView Explorer design-time environment is accessed through a web browser by connecting your computer to the PanelView Component terminal over an Ethernet or USB connection. IMPORTANT Before connecting your computer to the USB port of the PanelView Component terminal, you must first install the "PanelView USB RNDIS Device" driver on a computer with the Windows XP or Vista operating system.
DF1 Runtime Configuration The DF1 configuration shows the PanelView Component C600 terminal connected to the MicroLogix 1100 controller using the 1761-CBL-PM02 cable. One end of the cable connects to the RS-232 serial port of the terminal and the other end connects to the Channel 0 port of the controller. The terminal and computer are connected to a DHCP-enabled Ethernet network using an Ethernet switch. You can substitute another MicroLogix model in place of the MicroLogix 1100 controller.

Chapter 1 Review Sample Application Introduction In this chapter, you will review the purpose of the sample application and the actual screens in the application. Topic Page Purpose of Application 16 Motor Status Screen 17 Motor Speed Screen 18 Alarm Banner 19 Application Tags 20 Before You Begin Review the where to start section and preface.
Chapter 1 Review Sample Application Follow These Steps Review the sample application. Purpose of Application Alarm Banner page 16 Motor Status Screen page 19 Application Tags page 17 page 20 Motor Speed Screen page 18 Purpose of Application The sample application contains screens and objects to control and monitor the status of a motor. The PanelView Component terminal reads and writes data to a MicroLogix controller using: • DF1 point-to-point communication or • Ethernet communication.
Review Sample Application Chapter 1 Motor Status Screen The Motor Status screen is one of two screens in the application. It is the startup screen when the application is loaded and running in the terminal. The Motor Status screen lets you: • • • • • start and stop a motor. set the motor control to auto or manual mode. monitor the start/stop status and the auto/manual mode of the motor. navigate to the Motor Speed screen. navigate to the configuration mode screens of the terminal.
Chapter 1 Review Sample Application Motor Speed Screen The Motor Speed screen lets you: • • • • enter a new motor speed. increase or decrease the motor speed in increments. monitor the motor speed. navigate to the Motor Status screen. 1 6 5 2 3 4 Objects on the Motor Speed Screen # This object Performs this function 1 Numeric Entry Opens a numeric keypad, when selected, to change the speed of the motor to a value between 0 and 1000 rpm. This object works only in manual mode.
Review Sample Application Chapter 1 Alarm Banner The alarm banner is a global display that pops up over the Motor Status or Motor Speed screen when an alarm is triggered. The alarm banner lets you: • • • • read a message associated with a triggered alarm. clear the alarm banner from the screen. acknowledge an alarm and clear the banner. close the banner.
Chapter 1 Review Sample Application Application Tags The sample application uses read and write tags to define how objects interact with addresses in the MicroLogix 1100 controller. The tags read or write data to a bit or integer file. Objects that do not read or write to a controller address such as screen buttons or headings do not require a tag. The same tags are used for DF1 or Ethernet communication.

Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application Introduction In this chapter, you will validate the application for correct operation and run the application in the terminal while connected to the MicroLogix 1100 controller.
Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application Follow These Steps Complete these steps to run the sample application on the terminal while connected to the MicroLogix controller.
Validate and Run Application Chapter 9 Validate the Application Before you can run an application on the PanelView Component, it is strongly recommended that you validate the application for errors and warnings. The application does not need to be error-free to run, however, it is good practice to fix both errors and warnings to ensure expected system behavior. Validation is not supported in PVc DesignStation 2.0 . 1. Click the Validate icon on the application toolbar.
Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application Connect Terminal to Controller DF1 Connection to MicroLogix Controller using 1761-CBL-PM02 For DF1 runtime operation, you will need to connect the 1761-CBL-PM02 between the RS-232 serial port of the terminal and the Channel 0 port of the MicroLogix 1100 controller.
Validate and Run Application Chapter 9 Run the Application This topic shows you how to run the sample application from the PanelView Explorer Startup window. 1. Verify the PanelView Explorer Startup window is open. 2. Select the SampleApplication just created. 3. Click the Run button. While the application is loading on the terminal, you will see: Loading Application... The Motor Status screen opens, which is the startup screen. When the motor is stopped, the Status indicator displays Stopping. 4.
Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application Run the Motor in Manual Mode In manual mode, you have control of the motor. You can change the motor speed by using the numeric entry object or the numeric increment decrement object. The numeric entry object opens a keypad where you enter a new value. The numeric increment decrement object lets you change the motor speed in steps using keys. To view the new motor speed, you must restart the motor.
Validate and Run Application Chapter 9 3. Press the numeric entry object to enter a speed. A numeric keypad opens with the current speed highlighted. 4. Enter 550 by pressing the number keys. 5. Press the Enter key to save the new speed and close the keypad. 251 Numeric Entry 7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3 0 Esc The speed is updated in both numeric objects. You must restart the motor to see the new speed in the numeric display and bar graph. Enter key 6. Verify the new speed. a.
Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application 7. Update the motor speed in steps using the numeric increment decrement object. a. Press the page up key twice to increase the speed by 20 rpm. b. Press the up key three times to increase the speed by 3 rpm. c. Press the page down key once to decrease the speed by 10 rpm. Page Up Up Page Down The speed value is 563. 8. Repeat step 5 to verify the new motor speed is updated in the numeric display and bar graph. 9.
Validate and Run Application Chapter 9 Run the Motor in Automatic Mode In Auto mode, the ladder logic in the MicroLogix controller controls the motor speed. The speed will never rise above 480. In Auto mode, you can start and stop the motor, and verify that the speed updates in the bar graph and numeric display. However, you cannot alter the speed of the motor using the numeric entry or numeric increment decrement objects. 1. Change the Motor to Automatic mode in the list selector. a.
Chapter 9 Validate and Run Application Go to Configuration Mode You can access the configuration screens of the terminal while in Run mode. 1. Press the Motor Status button to return to the Motor Status screen. 2. Press the Config Screen button. The terminal leaves the running application and goes to the Main screen in configuration mode. Sample Application The name of the current application is displayed. 3. Press the buttons on the side to view some of the other screens. 4.
