Both the set bit and numeric input cursor points can be used on the same
screen.
The following objects can be displayed only on a Touch Screen terminal:
Numeric Keypad is used to send a value to the PLC controller. A
unique PLC input address is assigned to each Numeric Keypad; the
value that the operator enters is stored at this address. The keypad is
available in large and small sizes.
Keypad Screen Selector allows an operator to display a screen by
entering the screen number. The selector is available in large and small
sizes.
The Information and Alarm Windows can pop up on the screen at any time
to display important information:
Information Window displays a message when triggered by the PLC
controller. The window remains until the operator presses the
Clear/ACK button, or until the PLC controller clears it. There can be as
many as 496 different messages for the Information Window.
Alarm Window is similar to the Information Window but with many
additional features. Each message can be configured to sound the audio
indicator (beeper), trip the alarm relay or print a message on a printer.
Alarms are time and date stamped and listed in the order they occur. The
operator can acknowledge the alarm, clear the display, silence the alarm,
view the Alarm History Screen, or view the Alarm Status Screen. There
can be as many as 496 different messages for the Alarm Window.
The following options can be controlled by the PLC controller:
PLC Controlled Audio allows the PLC controller to control the
PanelView terminal’s audio beeper. A PLC bit address is assigned; when
the PLC controller sets this bit, the terminal’s beeper is activated. This
does not interfere with the Alarm Window’s use of the beeper.
PLC Controlled Alarm Relay allows the PLC controller to control the
PanelView terminal’s alarm relay. A PLC bit address is assigned, and
when the PLC controller sets this bit, the terminal’s alarm relay is
energized. This does not interfere with the Alarm Window’s use of the
relay.
