FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Q. Whatisrequiredto getstarted using theOP--414 inmy application?
A.You mustread thismanualand understand the OP-panelrequirementsand
application concepts.You musthave programming knowledge forthe PLCproduct
you’re using, the PLCserialcommunications capabilitieswhich are available,as
well ashook-up and connecting cable data.
Q. Howdo IconfiguretheOP--414 operatorpanel?
A.Using the OP-WINEDITconfiguration software.This software allows you to
configurethe OP-panelsinaMicrosoft Windowstenvironment. You may configure
yourprogramsoffline,upload,and/ordownload themtoyourOptiMate panel.The
OP-WINEDITsoftwareisprovided withinstallation documentation and Help
screens.
NOTE:OP--WINEDITversion 2.3 orlaterisrequired when using OP400 series
panels.
Q. CantheOP--414 beusedwith otherPLCproducts?
A.Yes.The OP400 unitsdo supportAllen-BradleySLC5/03,SLC5/04,and
Micrologix.
Q. CanIconnectmorethan oneOP--414 panelto onePLC/CPU?
A.Yes,butonlyif the CPUhasmorethan one communicationsport. OP400 series
panels can onlybe used inastand alone fashion; thatis,one panelcan be used with
one CPUport. OP600 and OP1000 seriespanels can be used inmultiple panel
applications(even if the CPUhasonlyasinglecommunicationsport)with an
OP--9001 communicationspanel.
Q. WhatarethepowersupplyrequirementsfortheOP--414?
A.The OP400 seriespanelsrequire5VDC inputpower.A5VDC externalpower
supplythatplugsintoastandard 120 VACreceptacleisavailable(partno.
OP--PS400).Thispowersupply(orequivalent, butitmusthave acenternegative
powerjack)isrequired forconfiguring yourpanel.Itisalsorequired foroperation
unless you are usingaDL05,DL105,DL205 orDL405 PLC; these products supply
5VDC through the communications cable.All otherPLCs,including DL305 CPUs,
requirethe use ofan external5VDC powersupply.
Q. Will theOP-panels supportgraphics,animation,orcoloroperatordisplay screens?
A.No, the OP-panelswhichsupportdisplay capabilitiesallownumericdata display,
and some panelswill also allowtextmessage display.

Labeling theFieldPoints
Labeling the OP--414 panel isa
relatively simple process thatinvolves
removing the bezeland sliding a label
transparency into a pocketinthe panel
overlay.The transparent filmcan be
purchased fromalmostanyofficesupply
storeinstandard 8-1/2”x11”sheets. It is
designed torun through a copymachine
orlaserprinter.
The easiestwaytocreatelabelsisto usethe built-inlabelmaking function of the
OP--WINEDITconfiguration software.Thisisthe preferred method and is shown
next. The labels can alsobecreated manuallyusing the templateshown on page
NOTAG. Here aresomeways ofmanually creating labels:
SUseacomputergraphics programand a laserprintertocreatethe
transparency directly,orprint the labelson paperand photocopythem
toatransparency sheet.
SUse press-on lettersonatransparency sheet.
SUseatypewriterorlettering machine,oruse press-on letterstocreate
