With this software you can create applications in the Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or later) operating system, in Windows 95, and in Windows NT 4.0. You can use the PanelBuilder applications in PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminals, or PanelView 1200 Series F and later terminals that have been enhanced to -MC catalog numbers. PanelBuilder 1400e, Version 4 provides expanded hardware support to allow you to create applications for a wider variety of environments, terminals, and networks: Windows NT Compatibility PanelBuilder 1400e Version 4 has been enhanced to run on a 32-bit operating system, specifically Windows NT 4.0. However, PanelBuilder 1400e, a 16-bit application, may still run on the 16-bit platforms (Windows 3.1 or later, and Windows 95).
ControlNet Station Addressing With PanelBuilder Version 4, you can now assign the station addressing on ControlNet from 1 to 99. Previously, you could only assign addresses above 63 through the network setup. The Ethernet network card utilizes the PLC 5E as a pass-through device, enabling your application to download to the PanelView terminal. Allen-Bradley Replacements 18 P 2 Preface CD-ROM Installation PanelBuilder Version 4 can now be installed from a CD-ROM. This not only reduces the number of disks required, but simplifies the installation of PanelBuilder 1400e. However, for those who want disk sets, they are available upon request. Send in the enclosed Response Card to receive the required package of disks. RSLinx Communication Drivers PanelBuilder 1400e Version 4 includes RSLinx communication drivers for application file transfers on Windows NT and Windows 95. INTERCHANGE and WINLinx are still available for Windows 3.1 or later, and Windows 95, if desired. Terminology The term PanelBuilder refers to PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows. Where confusion may arise between the current and previous versions of the software, the current release of the software is called PanelBuilder 1400e, Version 4. Similarly, the terms terminal and PanelView terminal refer to a PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminal or an enhanced PanelView Series F or G terminal. Where confusion may arise between the 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e terminals and previous revisions, specific series and revision names are used. The terms PLC and programmable controllers refer to the Allen-Bradley line of PLC Programmable Controllers. The term control is a generic term that refers to the PLC addresses that dynamic objects write to or read from. Some controls use tags only, while others can use tags or expressions. All dynamic objects use one or more controls.

For information about enhancing your Series F or G terminals, contact your Allen-Bradley representative. You can edit any application created with a previous version of PanelBuilder (for example, an application created in Version 1 of PanelBuilder DOS).
However, once an application is edited in PanelBuilder 1400e, you can save it only as a Version 4 PanelBuilder 1400e format file (.pvc), and you can only edit it using PanelBuilder Version 4. Depending on the features you used in the application, you can, however, download and run it on terminals running PanelView 1000e, 1200e and 1400e Firmware, Version 1 and later. Version compatibility issues are highlighted wherever they occur in this manual, and are explained in more detail in Appendix E, Version Control. 29 Introduction to PanelBuilder 1 3 Note: The.pvd files are terminal files that are created automatically when an application is downloaded to a PanelView terminal. You can also create a.pvd file manually by saving a PanelBuilder application as a terminal file. Terminal (.pvd) files can be Version 1 or later, depending on the features used in the application. Required Equipment You need the following software and equipment to create PanelBuilder applications and run them on a PanelView terminal. PanelBuilder Software You need a copy of PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows, Version 3 or 4, installed on your personal computer. For PC requirements and installation instructions, refer to Chapter 2, Introducing PanelBuilder 1400e, in PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows Getting Started Manual. For PC requirements and installation instructions, refer to the PanelBuilder 1400e Transfer Utility User Manual, Publication Number 2711E-ND7. PanelView Terminal You must have one or more terminals. This utility is included with your PanelBuilder distribution. It is also available separately as Catalog Number 2711E-ND7. Applicable host controllers include almost all Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers as well as certain IBM computers, VME Controllers, and the DEC Q-Bus interface. The following table lists the available programmable controller and scanner types. You can connect the PanelView terminal to a ControlNet network.
The terminal can then communicate with all the controllers on that network through unscheduled messaging. You can connect the PanelView terminal to a Modbus network. For more information, see the PanelBuilder 1400e Modbus User Manual, Publication Number 2711E-6.12, which is supplied as part of the optional Modbus Communications Kit, Catalog Number 2711E-UMOD. Programmable Controller Software and Logic You need the appropriate software to run the programmable controller. You also need to write a PLC program for the programmable controller so it can interface with the PanelBuilder application. If you have several terminals, or want a spare cable, you can order additional cables. For PanelView 1200, 1200e, and 1400e terminals, the cable is Catalog Number 2711-NC1. If this is difficult to access, for PanelView 1200, 1200e, and 1400e terminals, you can install the Remote Keyswitch and RS-232 Port Assembly (Catalog No NC2) in a more convenient location. Refer to the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator Terminals User Manual for more information. Printer You can use any standard or serial printer supported by Microsoft Windows to print reports from the development computer. To print graphics screen reports from PanelBuilder, your printer must support graphics printing. The PanelView terminal supports Epson FX-80 compatible printers for printing screens and alarm reports. To upload or download your applications over ControlNet, you must connect your development computer to the ControlNet network. PCMCIA Memory Card PanelView terminals provide Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) support. You can use the PCMCIA memory card (Catalog No NM11, 12, 13, or 14) to install firmware directly, without having to open the terminal, or to store application files. For more information, see the PanelView 1400e Serial Firmware Upgrade Utility Readme file and online help.
Allen-Bradley Replacements 34 A well-designed application requires careful planning before you start building. To help with planning, this chapter covers: steps for building an application steps in planning an application, including documenting the process, designing screens, and identifying communications planning for safety tips for optimizing the application using worksheets Steps for Building an Application Creating an application is easier if you plan it. This chapter discusses planning steps and guidelines in detail. The later chapters of this manual provide instructions for creating and downloading the application. The chapters are organized in the order you use them to create your application. Follow these steps to build your application: 1. Plan your application, as described in this chapter. 2. Create the new application, as described in Chapter 3, Working with Applications. (Then read Chapter 4, Working with Editors for more information about how to work in PanelBuilder.) A. Configure the communications for the application. See Chapter 5, Defining Communications. B. Define all the tags and expressions you will need throughout the application. See Chapter 6, Defining Tags and Chapter 7, Creating Expressions. C. Create the application screens and objects. See Chapter 8, Creating Screens and Chapter 9, Creating Objects. D. Create the messages, if applicable. See Chapter 10, Creating Messages. E. Configure the Alarm screens and controls, if applicable. See Chapter 11, Configuring Alarms. F. Configure the options for how the application appears and functions at the PanelView terminal, and how it interacts with the PLC. See Chapter 3, Working with Applications. 3. Download the completed application to a PanelView terminal. See Chapter 15, Transferring Applications. 4. Test the application. See the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator Terminals User Manual for information about testing the application on the PanelView terminal.
Planning Steps Before you can begin creating an application, you need to follow these planning steps: 1. Document the process you ll be automating. 2. Design the application screens and objects. 3. Plan how the application will communicate with the PLC. These steps are discussed in the remainder of this chapter. Planning for Safety At each stage of the planning process, keep safety considerations in mind.! ATTENTION: Do not rely on your PanelView terminal for emergency stops, or any other controls that are critical to the safety of workers or equipment. To ensure that the operation can be controlled safely, use separate, hard-wired operator interface devices that do not depend on solid state electronics. For more details about safety standards, refer to the inside cover of this manual. The PanelView 1000e and 1400e touch screen terminals use analog-resistive touch screens. This allows input objects to be any size (minimum 40 by 40 pixels) and to be placed anywhere on the screen. The analog-resistive touch screen provides greater flexibility in screen design compared to PanelView 1200 and 1200e terminals. PanelView 1200 and 1200e terminals use a touch matrix, which requires that all input objects align with a touch grid. Allen-Bradley Replacements 36 Planning Applications 2 3! ATTENTION: Do not press multiple touch screen locations at the same time. In the unlikely event that two or more touches occur simultaneously in the same horizontal or vertical line, an input object located half-way between the two touches could be activated. This is inherent in the analog-resistive touch screen technology used in PanelView 1000e and 1400e terminals. To clear the fault, switch the terminal to configure mode, then back to run mode, or cycle power to the terminal. RIO To ensure a safe recovery, program the controller to: return any machine or process to a safe state monitor the rack fault bit associated with the PanelView terminal s rack assignment.
