The Small or Large Numeric Entry Keypads enable an operator to
send numeric data to the PLC from a touch screen terminal. If you
assign the Optional Keypad Write Expression, the PanelView
terminal can perform a mathematical calculation or logical operation
on the value the operator enters, then send the result to the PLC.

The two keypads differ only in size. The large keypad is 384 pixels
wide by 480 pixels high. The small keypad is 192 pixels wide by
480 pixels high.
Both keypads operate in exactly the same way. They include number
keys, Clear, Delete, Enter, and the minus sign. The keypad may
include a decimal point, depending on which Decimal Point option
you choose.
Important: In Remote I/O applications, the PanelView terminal can
retain the current values for the object’s controls, even
after the terminal is turned off. Depending on how the
Application Startup operation is defined, the retained
value (last state) or initial value (default) is sent to the
PLC when power is re-applied.
For details on configuring Application Startup
operation, see “Application Startup” in Chapter 4 in the
PanelView 1200e and 1400e Operator Terminals User
Manual.
A maximum of 16 digits can be displayed on the scratchpad of the
Small and Large Numeric Entry Keypads. The decimal point and
minus sign use one digit each. The assigned tag’s data type
determines the range of PLC values.
