The MicroView interfaces with the MicroLogix controller. The MicroView
allows operators to monitor and manipulate process data on the plant floor.
RS-232 Port. The MicroView has an RS-232 communications port. The
RS-232 port allows point-to-point connections with a MicroLogix controller.
The RS-232 port also allows the MicroView to be connected to an IBM TM
compatible personal computer.
Memory Capability. Storage of the operating system, configuration
information, and user-programmed screens are maintained in nonvolatile
memory providing storage for approximately 50 screens.
Recipe Operations. Recipe type functions allow operators to quickly modify
blocks of data. Download data to a maximum of 10 non-sequential register
addresses per screen. Link multiple recipe screens to download data to more
than 10 addresses.
Flexible Function Key Operations. Two function keys provide a convenient
way to trigger screen displays and change display screens.
Point-Access/Display Function. Allows you to monitor or modify data files
in MicroLogix controllers. Use this function to set up and debug application
programs.

Communications Port
The MicroView operator interface has a communications port located on the
top edge. The communications port is an 8 pin mini DIN connector
configured with an RS-232 channel and a 24 VDC power supply connection.
Power Connector
The power connector is a 2 conductor power jack used to connect an external
power source to the MicroView. This power source is required when the
MicroView is connected to a PC for program transfers.

This chapter describes how to apply power to and then configure the
MicroView using the menu keys. Instructions on how to use the Simulate
mode to run an application are also provided. This chapter contains the
following sections:

Test Functions 3–11
This section describes power connections for initial desktop setup and
programming. Refer to Chapter 6 for installation wiring instructions.
The MicroView operates on 24 VDC power supplied either through the
power port or the communications port. For run-time operations with the
MicroLogix controller, the MicroView is supplied with 24 VDC through the
cable from the MicroLogix controller connected to the communications port.
For application download/upload operations, the MicroView is supplied with
24 VDC through the power port using a separate power adapter. You can use
the AC to DC Adapters: Catalog No. 2707-PS120 for 120 VAC or Catalog
No. 2707-PS220 for 220 VAC power.
!
ATTENTION: Verify that the power is disconnected from the
power source before wiring. Failure to disconnect power may
result in electrical shock.
If you use an AC/DC power adapter, make sure that the supply
voltage to the MicroView is 11 to 25 volts DC and of the correct
polarity. Incorrect voltage may damage the MicroView.

2. Apply power to the MicroView by plugging the AC to DC Adapter into
the proper power source (check adapter label to verify voltage).
The MicroView performs a powerup sequence.
The powerup sequence is automatic, you do not have to respond to
the screens. During the Power Up or Reset sequence, the MicroView
performs a series of initialization and diagnostic tests.
Powerup Sequence
1. When power is first applied, the display will light and remain blank for
approximately one second.
2. Then the display is tested, every pixel of the display is turned on for one
second. If all of the pixels do not turn on, the display may be defective.
