Overview
About the Terminals PanelView Plus 6 terminals are operator interface devices that run HMI
machine-level applications in an industrial environment. The displays range in
size from 4 to 15 inches. These devices are used to monitor, control, or display
information graphically, letting operators quickly understand the status of their
application.
This platform is programmed by using common development software that
provides multilingual support, and integrates into systems with Rockwell
Automation controllers including preferred Logix controllers.

Chapter 1 Overview
Windows CE Operating
System
PanelView Plus 6 terminals run the Windows CE operating system (OS),
providing the foundational OS elements for the majority of user needs.
For users with more complex application requirements, some of the terminals
offer optional, extended features and file viewers.
Open versus Closed System The terminals can be configured to run an open or closed desktop environment:
•An open system launches the Windows Explorer desktop on startup. The
system is configurable via the control panel and supports Windows
operations.
•A closed system launches a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application
on startup and restricts access to the Windows Explorer desktop.
All terminals are shipped as closed systems restricting access to the desktop. The
first time you start the system, the terminal launches FactoryTalk View ME
Station Configuration mode. At this point, you can change the start-up option
and allow desktop access.

Overview Chapter 1
Start-up Options You can configure the terminal to perform one of three actions at startup:
•Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application.
•Launch the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Configuration mode of
the terminal where you load and run applications, configure start-up
options and terminal settings, and enable or disable desktop access.
•Launch the Windows Explorer desktop.
The factory default state and start-up option following a firmware upgrade is to
launch the terminal in Configuration mode. Refer to Start-up Options on
page 51 for details on how to change the start-up option.
Desktop Access Any of the terminals can be configured to allow or restrict desktop access. From
the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run
third-party applications. Terminals with optional, extended features (catalog
numbers ending in 9) can additionally run viewers, media players, and launch the
web browser. You can even allow access temporarily to perform specific tasks,
then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized changes.
Refer to Desktop Access on page 54 for details on how to modify desktop access.
Software Support The table lists software supported on the terminals.
TIP
All terminals are initially shipped with desktop access disabled.
IMPORTANT
Desktop access does not change the feature set of your terminal. If you have a
terminal with a catalog number ending in 8, opening the desktop does not
give you access to extended features and file viewers.

Overview Chapter 1
Operator Input
All 700 to 1500 display modules have TFT color, graphic displays with either
keypad, touch screen, or combination keypad/touch-screen input. Common
features and firmware provide for easy migration to a larger display:
•Eight-wire resistive touch screens are extremely accurate for operator
interfaces. When a point on the touch screen is pressed, the layers connect
and change the electrical current, which is then registered and processed.
•All keypad or combination keypad/touch-screen displays are similar except
for the number of functions keys.
To meet the requirements of specific environmental conditions, high-bright
displays, marine-certified displays, and conformal-coated displays are also
available. Plus, you can order field replaceable bezels.
