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.

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.

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.

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
This chapter provides an overview of the PanelView 1200 terminals. It
describes:
the types and features of PanelView 1200 terminals
the available options and accessories
the supported Allen-Bradley programmable controllers and remote I/O
scanners
PanelView 1200 terminals provide a fast, easy, flexible and low cost
operator interface for a PLC system. They are ideal replacements for
traditional control panels.
PanelView 1200 terminals are pre-assembled and ready to install in a
control panel cut-out or 19” rack. They connect directly to any
Allen-Bradley remote I/O link.
An Allen-Bradley, IBM or compatible computer (the development
computer) is used to create PanelView 1200 terminal screens and
functions. See the PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual for
information on PanelBuilder Development Software for DOS. See the
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual for
more information on PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for

Wide Range of Applications
PanelView 1200 terminals provide many pre-configured functions
allowing for a wide range of applications across many industries. This
enables you to standardize on PanelView 1200 terminals, thereby
simplifying service stock and reducing the cost and time required to train
your personnel on many different products.
Cost Optimized for OEM Applications
Since PanelBuilder software resides outside the PanelView 1200 terminal,
the terminal is not burdened with this overhead.
Rugged, High Quality Design
PanelView 1200 terminals are designed to strict Allen-Bradley
specifications, with high grade components and rugged construction for
long trouble-free operation in harsh industrial environments.
Panel or 19" Rack Mounting
All PanelView 1200 terminals can be panel or 19” rack-mounted. Keypad
and stud-mounted touch screen terminals are rated NEMA 4X (Indoor use
only). Clip-mounted touch screen terminals are rated NEMA 12.
PanelView 1200 Features

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
Chapter 1
1-4
12" Monochrome or Color Display
All PanelView 1200 terminals have a 12” display in monochrome (amber)
or color. Color terminals can display 8 colors at a time from a choice of 16.
Direct Connection to any AllenBradley PLC Remote I/O Link
You can integrate a PanelView 1200 terminal quickly and easily into any
PLC system capable of supporting the Allen-Bradley 1771 Remote I/O
Link.
A PanelView 1200 terminal appears as one or more PLC I/O racks on an
Allen-Bradley PLC Remote I/O link; it can be configured as up to 8
different racks—or fractional racks—with any valid PLC rack numbers.
Communications between the PLC controller and the PanelView 1200
terminal are provided through the discrete I/O image table area, and up to 5
block transfers (up to 32 words per block). Block transfers allow you to
transfer more information at a time than does discrete I/O. The
PanelView 1200 terminals can also communicate to the SLC-5/02
controller through the use of the 1747-SN module.
Direct or Data Highway Plus and Remote I/O Downloading
Application files can be downloaded from the development computer to
the terminal via the Upload/Download cable (an RS-232 connection), or
via a Data Highway Plus, using the PLC-5 Pass-Through feature.
By using the Data Highway Plus for downloading, you can download to
several terminals from a single development computer without having to
go from terminal to terminal, connecting the Upload/Download cable for
each one.
Factory Installed Battery Provides Extended Backup
The built-in battery maintains power to the terminal’s memory so the
application file is not lost when the terminal is switched off. PanelView
1200 terminals come equipped with a RAM memory chip that requires
minimal power from the lithium battery. Also, the battery is not burdened
when AC power is applied to the terminal. This provides exceptional life
for the battery, which is expected to last for the life of the terminal.

Introduction to PanelView 1200 Operator
Terminals
Chapter 1
1-5
UserDefinable Keys
The keypad terminal has 21 user-definable keys on its front panel. Each
one can perform a variety of operations—from turning on PLC input bits
to changing screens. PanelView 1200 terminals are extremely flexible:
each key can be assigned a different function for each screen.
Custom Keypad Legend Inserts
The function keys on keypad terminals are pre-labeled at the factory, but
you can create key labels to suit your application. The included Legend Kit
provides blank card material that can be written on with most types of
markers or paste-on labels. Replacing the labels on the terminals is a quick
and easy task.
Touch Screen Terminal for Simplicity and Space Saving
A touch-sensitive surface overlays the monitor on the touch screen
terminal. Selections are made by touching the display directly. Since a
keypad is not required, these terminals require less panel space.
Message and Alarm Handling Utilities
A PanelView 1200 terminal application can be set up with stored messages
that can be triggered by the PLC controller. There are three kinds of
message displays:
Local Message Displays can appear in any free location on a specific
screen (875 messages maximum)
Information Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently
displayed (496 messages maximum)
Alarm Windows can pop up regardless of the screen currently displayed
(496 messages maximum)
For each type of message displayed—local, information or alarm—there is
a message list. Using PanelBuilder software, you can add or edit messages.
Messages are numbered and listed in numerical order in the message list.
See your PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual for more information on PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows. See your PanelBuilder Development Software User
Manual for more information on PanelBuilder Development Software for
DOS.

Builtin Clock
The battery-backed clock runs even when the terminal is powered down.
PanelView 1200 can display the current time and date and can send it to
the PLC controller. The clock may also be set by the PLC controller.
Audio and Visual Feedback
A PanelView 1200 terminal can be configured to:
activate a beeper each time a function button or touch cell is pressed
light up a screen button (if it has a border) when its function key or
touch cell is pressed.
allow the PLC controller to activate the beeper at the terminal
allow Alarm Messages to activate the beeper at the terminal
Alarm Relay
You can attach a horn or a warning light to the PanelView 1200 terminal’s
alarm relay. Relay connections are made via the terminal block labeled
“Alarm Contacts” at the rear of the terminal. Specific alarm messages, or a
PLC program, can then trigger the relay.
Attention The Alarm Relay must be used only as a warning
system, not for control purposes.
RS232 Port
All PanelView 1200 terminals include one RS-232 port for printing on-line
alarm messages, uploading and downloading application files, and printing
screens.

PanelView 1200 Terminal Diagnostics
When a PanelView 1200 terminal starts up, it performs a number of fault
detection tests. The PanelView 1200 terminal also performs continuous
tests for fault conditions when it is communicating online with the PLC
controller. In the event of a fault, a message appears, pinpointing the exact
nature of the fault.
An operator can also initiate diagnostic tests from the terminal.
For a description of the diagnostic tests, and the various fault conditions,
refer to Chapter 2, PanelView 1200 Terminal Functions, in this manual.
Optional hardware is available that you may find convenient to use with
either type of the PanelBuilder software and the PanelView 1200 terminal.
For catalog numbers see tables 1.A and 1.B.
Upload/Download Cable
The Upload/Download cable connects the development computer’s RS-232
Port to the PanelView 1200 terminal’s RS-232 Port. You use it to transfer
applications serially between the development computer and the
PanelView 1200 terminal If you have a number of terminals, you may want
to order more than one Upload/Download cable.
Optional Remote Keyswitch & RS232 Port Assembly
On the back of all PanelView 1200 terminals is a Mode Select Keyswitch
and RS-232 Port. The Remote Keyswitch and RS-232 Port Assembly
allows you to mount the port and keyswitch to the front of your control
panel while maintaining a NEMA 4X seal. This is convenient if you don’t
have easy access to the rear of the PanelView 1200 terminal. See Chapter
3, Installing Your PanelView 1200 Terminal, for details on mounting and
dimensions.
Optional EEPROM or EPROM for Backup or Additional Application
Memory
Earlier PanelView 1200 terminals contained two sockets for optional
EPROM or EEPROM chips. Series D and E PanelView 1200 terminals
have one socket for an optional EPROM/EEPROM, called the user PROM.
Options and Accessories

an EPROM can be used for application file back-up. The application file
is programmed into the EPROM with a PROM burner. Once
programmed, it cannot be erased or overwritten.
an EEPROM can be used for application file back-up or for extra
application memory
when the EEPROM is used for application back-up, the downloaded
application file is automatically copied to the EEPROM during the
download operation
an EEPROM can also be used to increase the memory available for
application file storage from 64K to 128K. If the EEPROM is used in
this way, it cannot be used as back-up for the application file.
Functional Variations Among Terminal Types
The terminals are configured almost identically with these exceptions:
buttons are set up differently on keypad terminals and touch screen
terminals
certain screen objects are specific to keypad terminals, others to touch
screen terminals. For more information on objects see your
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual,
or your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual.
foreground and background colors can be assigned only for color
PanelView 1200 terminals. Inverse video and intensity settings are
assigned for monochrome terminals
The keypad terminal has:
21 user-definable function keys
a keypad for entering numeric values
up, down, left and right arrow keys
Home, Enter, Select, Cancel, Raise,Lower and Backspace keys
The user-definable function keys on keypad terminals are pre-labeled at the
factory, but you can create key labels (legends) to suit your application.
The replacement key legends slide in from the rear of the faceplate. The
included Legend Kit provides blank card material that can be written on
with most types of markers or paste-on labels.

Function Keys
When creating screens, you can assign any of the 21 function keys to
objects so that they can perform a wide variety of functions, ranging from
turning on PLC input bits to changing screens. Keys can have different
functions for each screen created.
Numeric Keypad
The keypad terminal has a numeric input keypad that includes number
keys, Enter, Backspace, –(negative), and .(decimal) keys. When you
need to make a numeric entry, you call up a pop-up Numeric Entry
Scratchpad that displays the numbers as you type.
The Numeric Entry Scratchpad is displayed on the screen any time the
operator is required to enter numeric data and send it to a PLC controller.
