(Catalog Numbers 2711-KA1, KC1, TA1, TC1, TA4, TC4)
User Manual

Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those
of electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the Application,
Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls” (Publication
SGI–1.1) describes some important differences between solid-state
equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this
difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state
equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy
themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will the Allen-Bradley Company be responsible or liable for
indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of
this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for
illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements
associated with any particular installation, the Allen-Bradley Company
cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the
examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Allen-Bradley Company with respect to
use of information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this
manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without
written permission of the Allen-Bradley Company is prohibited.
Throughout this manual we use notes to make you aware of safety
considerations.
Attention Identifies information about practices or circumstances
that can lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or
economic loss.
Attentions help you:
identify a hazard
avoid the hazard
recognize the consequences
Important Identifies information that is especially important for successful
application and understanding of the product.

Preface
This manual describes the features and specifications of PanelView1200
terminals. PanelView 1200 terminals are available as keypad or touch
screen terminals, with color or monochrome display.
Note The term “PanelView 1200” is the new name for PanelView
terminals. It refers to all 12-inch CRT PanelView terminals, from Series A
upwards.
The manual provides information and examples for:
installing and maintaining a PanelView 1200 terminal
operating a PanelView 1200 terminal
connecting a PanelView 1200 terminal to an Allen-Bradley
Programmable Logic Controller (PLCr)
troubleshooting a PanelView 1200 terminal
This manual is written to help you install and maintain PanelView 1200
terminals.
The following terms are used throughout this manual.
Application File: A PanelView 1200 terminal application file contains a
series of screens and configurations which, when interpreted and executed
by PanelView 1200, replace the functions of a control panel of buttons,
switches and indicators. The screens are created on a development
computer running PanelBuilderDevelopment Software or
PanelBuilder1200 Configuration Software for Windows, and then saved
in an application file on the development computer’s disk. The application
file is then downloaded to a PanelView 1200 terminal where it stays in
battery-backed RAM.
Battery-Backed RAM: Application files are stored in the PanelView 1200
terminal’s random access memory (RAM). The RAM is backed by an
internal battery so that the application file and the status of the retentive
objects are maintained even when AC power is switched off.

Preface

Hex Files: Application files which have been converted into IntelHex
format for transfer to user PROMs.
Object: An object is an individual component of a PanelView 1200 screen.
Each object takes the function of a button, switch or indicator on a control
panel. The objects can be dynamic—they can change color or value and
can display information. Each object is defined by the developer of the
PanelView 1200 screen. Examples of objects include Push Buttons,
Selectors, Bar Graphs, Numeric Displays, etc.
PanelBuilder Software: The program runs on the development computer
to develop application files for PanelView 1200 terminals. There are two
types of PanelBuilder software: PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows and PanelBuilder Development Software for DOS.
PanelView 1200 Terminal: A type of Allen-Bradley terminal with a touch
screen or rugged keypad, designed for easy operator interaction with a
PLC system over the Remote I/O link.
Retentive: An object is described as retentive when it “retains” its PLC
value in the PanelView 1200 terminal after a screen change, an operator’s
object action, and even after the terminal’s power cycle. For example,
when a maintained push button is pressed, the corresponding PLC input is
set to 1 and will not change until the button is pressed a second time.
Retentive objects always display their current states or values.
Screen: A display containing objects (such as push buttons or bar graphs)
which can monitor and control a PLC system. Screens are created with
either type of the PanelBuilder software.
SRAM: Static Random Access Memory. A type of memory that can
maintain its contents through the use of a battery. It does not require
continuous refreshing to maintain its contents.
System Memory: The read-only memory that contains the operating
firmware for the PanelView 1200 terminal.
Upload/Download: Downloading is the process of transferring an
application file from a development computer running either type of the
PanelBuilder software, to a PanelView 1200 terminal. Uploading is the
process of transferring an application file from the terminal back to the
development computer.
User PROM: The read-only memory chip that can be used to contain a
back-up copy of an application file, or to increase the memory available for
the application file from 64K to 128K. The chip can be either an EPROM
or an EEPROM.

There are two types of user PROM chips that can be used in PanelView
1200 terminal: EPROMs and EEPROMs. EPROMs are Electrically
Programmable Read Only Memory chips. EEPROMs are Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips.
The user PROMs store application files in memory that is protected from
power failure and failure of the internal battery. A PROM burner is
required to copy application files into a user EPROM.
If your system includes a user EEPROM, application files downloaded
through the Upload/Download cable will be stored in both battery-backed
RAM and in the EEPROM. No PROM burner is required.
Window: An area on the screen containing information. These windows
are triggered by the PLC controller and overlay any screen that is
displayed.
