Chapter 1: Power-Up Sequence �

Power-Up Sequence

In this chapter, you will learn:

• The sequence of events during power-up

� Online Operation User’s Guide

Power-Up SequenceOn power-up, the PanelMate unit performs the following sequence of operations:

• Execute normal power-up diagnostics

• Determine if the unit should enter the Transfer Mode

• Check for Executive Firmware

• Check User Configuration compatibility with Executive Firmware

• Check for presence of installed drivers

• Determine Power-up Mode

Execute Normal Power-Up DiagnosticsNormal system power-up diagnostics include test of:

• Video Frame Buffer

• Character Cell RAM

• Watchdog

• DRAM

• Real-Time Clock Battery

• Real-Time Clock

• Serial Ports 1 and 2

Each test will be displayed on screen with a PASSED or FAILED message. If theVideo Frame Buffer or Character Cell RAM fail it may not be possible to display afailure message. In the event this type of failure, an alarm tone pattern will begenerated which will indicate the actual failure. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guidefor the PanelMate Power Series System chapter in the PanelMate Power SeriesHardware Installation Guide for additional information.

The diagnostics will be performed in approximately 20 to 30 seconds.


If there are failures, you may be able to continue if they are not fatal errors. You mayreceive the message:

Non-Fatal Self Test Diagnostic Failure Occurred.

Press CANCEL key to continue.

As soon as you press the CANCEL key, the unit will continue with the system boot-up.

If there is a fatal error, you will receive the following message:

FATAL Self Test Diagnostic Failures Occurred.

VCP Unit System HALTED.

The system will be completely halted. The only way to reset the system is to cyclepower. If this occurs, contact your local distributor.

Determine if the Unit Should Enter the Transfer ModeThe unit will check an internal setup register to determine if it is required to enter theTransfer Mode. It will also test for the presence of the selection keypad. If the keypadis not connected, the PanelMate unit assumes it is not installed in a panel and shouldgo into the transfer mode and prepare for communication with a personal computer.Refer to the Transfer Mode topic or the Transfer Utility User’s Guide for moreinformation.

Check for Executive FirmwareThe unit will run a self-test for the completeness and integrity of the ExecutiveFirmware. If healthy, the power-up sequence continues.

If there is a failure, the following message is displayed:

Executive Firmware is not completely loaded.

Download of new Executive Firmware is required.

Press CANCEL key to enter the Offline Mode.

You must download new Executive Firmware to continue.

Note that if the Executive Firmware gets corrupted, the PanelMate unit will power upto the Recovery Mode. Refer to the Recovery Mode topic for more information.


Recovery ModeIn the unlikely event of the Executive Firmware getting corrupted in the PanelMateunit, the PanelMate unit will power up to the Recovery Mode.

Recovery Mode is indicated by the Recover Mode prompt located in the lower rightcorner of the screen. During normal operation, the Recovery Mode prompt is replacedby the Serial Mode prompt or the Network Mode prompt.

You must re-download your executive firmware to resume operating.

Check User Configuration Compatibility with ExecutiveFirmwareThe unit checks that a complete User Configuration is stored in the unit. Thecompatibility of User Configuration with the Executive Firmware is then verified. Ifthey match, the power-up sequence continues.

If they are incompatible, the following error message is displayed:

Incompatible Executive Firmware and Configurationversions.

Download of new Executive Firmware or newConfiguration is required.

Press CANCEL key to enter Offline mode.

Check for Presence of Installed DriversThe Executive Firmware checks to ensure the correct drivers are installed. TheExecutive Firmware will not permit the installation of an incompatible version of adriver. If the Executive Firmware detects an incompatible version, the following errormessage is displayed:

User configuration indicates missing downloadabledriver.

Download of new configuration or missing. DownloadableDriver is required.

Press CANCEL key to enter Offline Mode.


Determine Power-Up ModeThe unit will determine which mode to select: Offline Mode or Run Mode. The unitwill return to the operating mode it was in before power was removed. When power isapplied, it will attempt to return to that mode.

Note that if the Executive Firmware gets corrupted, the PanelMate unit will power upto the Recovery Mode. Refer to the Recovery Mode topic for more information.

Also note that if you accidentally enter the Alternate Mode, cycle power on thePanelMate unit to return to the operating mode the unit was in before it entered theAlternate Mode. Refer to the Alternate Mode topic for more information.

Alternate ModeAlternate Mode is feature that allows you to load two small configurations in thePanelMate unit and toggle between the two configurations. If you enter AlternateMode, a banner will appear on the screen to state that you are in Alternate Mode andthen the Alternate Offline Mode screen will be displayed. Once in Alternate Mode,the PanelMate unit will stay in Alternate Mode until power is cycled. Once power iscycled, the PanelMate unit will return to the operating mode it was in before the unitentered the Alternate Mode.

Offline ModeInitialization to the Offline Mode will display a screen which allows the followingselections: Execute Diagnostics, Enter Serial Transfer Mode, Enter Network TransferMode, Display System/Configuration Information, Enter Run Mode, and CalibrateTouchscreen. The diagnostic tests and calibration are explained in the ExecuteDiagnostics section in the PanelMate Power Series Hardware Installation Guide.Refer to the PanelMate Transfer topic for more information on serial transfer andnetwork transfer modes.


Run ModeThe following message will be displayed:

Please wait .... entering Run Mode

At this point in the initialization, the integrity of the Executive Firmware and integrityof the User Configuration have been verified. The proper driver is also known to beinstalled. The PanelMate unit will display the Loading Status Screen whileperforming the initialization procedure outlined below. The time to complete theinitialization depends upon the complexity of the configuration. The complexity ofthe user configuration is determined by the density of the pages, number of alarmconditions, and the number of control bits which must be initialized in the PLC(s).

The Loading Status Screen displays the name, date, and time of the configurationbeing loaded, the component that is currently being loaded, the percentage of theconfiguration that has been loaded, and the percentage of the usable free memoryremaining (based on the largest contiguous block).


The following steps outline the run mode initialization procedure:

1. Load System Parameters2. Load PLC Name and Port Table3. Load Message Library4. Load Page Passwords/Titles5. Load System Online Labels6. Load Symbol Library7. Load Normal Character Font8. Load Graphic Character Font9. Load Double-High Character Font10. Load Configuration Pages11. Create the Run Mode data base from Page Component files and verify all

expressions and PLC references12. Allocate DRAM memory13. Load Quad Character Font14. Create Block Reads15. Begin PLC communications and energize the Fault Relay16. Control bit resets; every control bit reference in a PLC is written to zero. Also

send remote bits (Enable Fault Relay, Passwords, etc..) to PLC(s)Note that if PLC communications are not valid, the communication retry processcould be lengthy.To users of Generic Protocol, at this step, the PanelMate unit will preparemessages with task code 67 for each PLC bit reference in the systemconfiguration. At this time, the host computer should be prepared to request theinformation from the PanelMate unit.

17. Send the status of the Hardware Selection (Security) Keyswitch18. Update the Startup Page information and display

If the Startup Page is password protected, the protection will be ignored duringstartup. Subsequent selections of that page will be password protected.

19. Remote send of Startup Page information to PLCNote that if a configuration is too large to fit in the PanelMate unit, thePanelMate unit will attempt to go online indefinitely, displaying the LoadingStatus screen. The Loading Status screen states each portion of the configurationas it is being loaded. It is suggested that the Configuration Verifier (accessed bythe Verify selection in the File Menu) be executed on every configuration beforedownloading to a PanelMate unit for online operation.


Run Mode OperationThe online system performs three basic tasks: Screen Updating, Alarming, andRemote Operations. Screen Updating refers to the updating of the currently displayedpage based on changes to reference values. Alarming refers to the determination ofalarm conditions and whether to display the alarms on screen or send the alarms to aprinter. Remote Operations refers to receiving or sending remote bits such as SilenceAlarm Horn or Automatic Page Change to or from the PLC. For more information onscreen updating, refer to the Refresh Graphics topic or the Conditional Visibilitytopic.

During the Run Mode, up to four separate scans may be occurring. All can be scannedat a user-specified rate. The scans are Screen Scan, Alarm Scan, Message Scan, andTrend Scan.

The Screen Scan scans only for the references on the currently displayed page toprovide current status. The Alarm Scan scans for all alarm and System Parameterreferences, regardless of which page is currently being scanned. The Message Scanscans for references in the Message Library and global messages. The Trend Scan setsthe time delay between updates from the PLC of all register references defined in thetrend templates while in Run Mode.

Proper Run Mode operations will only occur if a programmable controller or otherintelligent device is properly communicating with the PanelMate unit. If errors occur,see the Errors During Run Mode topic. In Run Mode, a variety of operations willtake place; some are related to the display functions of the PanelMate unit, and someare related to the operator input functions.

When variable-sized templates or graphics are used, a given template cell area maycontain more than one control point. When the membrane is initially touched, the firstcontrol point that lies within the indicated template cell area is selected, and isidentified by its flashing control indicator. If this is not the desired control point, asubsequent pressing of the same membrane will step to the next variable-sizedtemplate in a top-to-bottom, left-to-right search pattern within the cell area. Theselection process will cycle and recycle through all the variable-sized templates withcontrols lying within the selected cell area.

Chapter 4: Alarms ��

Alarms


• The features of an alarm

• About the Alarm Summary Page

• How to view or acknowledge alarms


AlarmsThe alarm conditions that you designate in the PanelMate unit’s template editors areconstantly monitored. When an alarm condition occurs, an alarm message isautomatically configured by the PanelMate unit and printed in the 4-line alarmwindow. The same message will also go to a printer if you have configured a printerin the PLC Name and Port Table dialog box.

Alarm conditions can be selected for audible alarming. The Alarm Horn can besilenced two different ways. The Alarm Horn can be silenced by pressing the SilenceAlarm Horn control button from the default control button selection. The AlarmHorn can also be silenced remotely by setting a bit in the PLC. See SystemsParameters - Remote Tab topic in the Configuration Editor’s User Guide for moreinformation on configuring the Remote Silence Alarm Bit. The PanelMate unit canalso set a bit in the PLC when the Silence Alarm Horn control button is pressed.This can allow one operator to silence all Alarm Horns on all the PanelMate units ona network.

The alarm message always includes:

• the device name or alarm device name

• the nature of the alarm (high alarm, low alarm, or the alarm condition label)

• the time of the event being reported

• the page the device is displayed on in the PanelMate unit


Additionally, the following attributes also apply to alarm messages, depending on thecondition being reported:

New alarms If you have a grayscale PanelMate unit, the alarmsare displayed as no intensity text on high intensitybackground. If you have a color PanelMate unit,the alarms are displayed as white text on a redbackground.

Acknowledged If you have a grayscale PanelMate unit, the alarmsare displayed as no intensity text on a mediumintensity background. If you have a colorPanelMate unit, the alarms are displayed as yellowtext on a black background. The abbreviation“Ackd” will appear in the message in front of thetime.

Cleared, not acknowledged If you have a grayscale PanelMate unit, the alarmsare displayed as high intensity text on a nointensity background. If you have a colorPanelMate unit, the alarms are displayed as redtext on a white background. The abbreviation“Clrd” will appear in the message in front of thetime.

Cleared and Acknowledged The message will disappear from the screen. Themessage that gets sent to the printer will includethe abbreviation “Clrd” in front of the time.

The four most recent alarm messages appear in the alarm window of the current page.


Alarm Summary PageThe Alarm Summary Page is automatically created by the PanelMate unit as alarmconditions occur. In the PanelMate unit, the 100 most current alarm messages can beviewed on the Alarm Summary Page at any time. As new alarms occur, the oldestalarms will be removed. For example, if 100 alarms have occurred and then one moreoccurs, the oldest alarm will be removed and the new alarm will be added to thebeginning of the Alarm Summary Page. The page indicator for the page whichcontains the removed alarm will still blink until the alarm condition has been cleared.

To get to the Alarm Summary Page, press the Get Alarm Page control button fromthe default control button selections. The Alarm Summary Page will appearimmediately, displaying the most current 26 alarm messages. If there are no alarmmessages to display, the page will be blank.

To view the alarms beyond the most current 26, use the Scroll Up and Scroll Downcontrol buttons. These buttons move a small, white block cursor that marks the startof a specific alarm message. When the block cursor is scrolled down past the lastmessage on the screen, the messages beyond 26 appear. This block cursor is also usedto mark individual alarm messages for acknowledgment.

To return to any other page in the system, press the Get Page control button and enterthe page number using the numeric keypad.


View or Acknowledge AlarmsTo acknowledge alarms in the alarm window located on each page, press the View orAcknowledge Alarms control button from the default control button selections. Thecontrol buttons will immediately change and a small, white block cursor will mark themost current alarm, located at the top of the alarm window.

To acknowledge alarms in the Alarm Summary Page, press the View orAcknowledge Alarms control button. The control buttons will immediately changeand a small, white block cursor will mark the most current alarm, located at the top ofthe page.

These control button labels will appear:


The following paragraphs apply to all alarms, regardless of whether you are viewingthe alarm window or the Alarm Summary Page.

To acknowledge a single alarm, move the block cursor using the Scroll Up or ScrollDown buttons to mark the alarm. Then press the Acknowledge Selected Alarmcontrol button to acknowledge.

To acknowledge all new alarms, press the Acknowledge All Alarms control button.It does not matter where the block cursor is located. This action acknowledges all newalarms, whether they are actually in view or not.

The alarms can also be acknowledged remotely. Once the Remote AlarmAcknowledge Bit (defined in the Systems Parameters - Remote Tab dialog box) isset, all alarms must be acknowledged. When the Remote Alarm Acknowledge Bit isconfigured, the PanelMate unit is also capable of setting a bit in the PLC when theAcknowledge All Alarms control button is pressed. This capability, along with theability to remotely acknowledge all alarms, can be useful in allowing one operator toacknowledge all alarms on a network of PanelMate units from a single system.

Chapter 5: Password Protection ��

Password Protection


• About password protection


Password ProtectionPasswords can be used to restrict access to certain functionality when the PanelMateunit is in the Run Mode. The PanelMate unit supports multiple levels of passwordprotection. A great deal of flexibility is provided so it is important to define animplementation scheme before configuring your passwords. There are three levels ofprotection: Password A, Password B, and the Keyswitch. Passwords A and B areconfigured in the System Parameters - Password Tab dialog box and are up to 8digits in length. (Passwords can be enabled or disabled to permit or prohibit changeduring online operation.) A security keyswitch can be attached to a removableterminal block to provide another level of protection.

PanelMate Power Series 1500 does not support the security keyswitch.

Note that leading zeroes are not supported when configuring Password A andPassword B in the System Parameters - Password Tab dialog box.

Passwords can be used in the following areas in the Run Mode and must be enabledfor entry each time they are selected.

Templates with Numeric Entry selected:Readout TemplateVariable-Sized Readout TemplateBar TemplateVariable-Sized Bar TemplateTable Template

Enter Offline ModeMaintenance TemplateSet Date and Time

Chapter 5: Password Protection ��

The following combinations of Password Protection are available:

• None• Keyswitch Only• Keyswitch and Password A• Keyswitch and Password B• Keyswitch and Password A or B• Password A Only• Password B Only• Password A or B

Password protection can also be invoked to protect access on a Page-by-Page basis.Once a Page Password is logged-in, then access to a page remains active until it islogged-out. While logged-in, the operator can change pages and return to this pageuntil logged-out. Password A and B can be logged-out manually or a user-definedtime period can expire which will log-out all passwords. If the time-out occurs, theoperator retains access to the current page.

Page Passwords are accessed in the Setup Page. This page is accessed from thedefault page by selecting the Get Page, More Buttons and Setup Page controlbuttons. The letters K, A, and B will appear to the left of the time of day clock on thetop line of each page to indicate when the Keyswitch, Password A, and Password Bare enabled for entry. The status of the passwords and security keyswitch, when usedas Page Passwords, may be transmitted to a PLC by setting the appropriate address inthe System Parameters - Password Tab dialog box. This feature can be useful whenimplementing the Page Protection concept when a Page Change is sent from a PLC.

The security keyswitch is an option which may be ordered as a spare part from theCutler-Hammer Customer Service Department. The terminals on the PanelMate unitrequire contact closure to enable entry. Multiple key switches, PLC relay contactoutputs, and hard contact outputs from other devices, such a magnetic strip badgereaders, may be used in combination to create the contact closure signal.

Note that a security keyswitch cannot be connected to the PanelMate Power Series1500.


Passwords A and B are downloaded within the User Configuration to the PanelMateunit. These values may be used at system start-up or they may be defined to overwritecurrent passwords which reside in the system.

Password Protection can be implemented in many ways. Examples of usage aredefined below:

• Offline Mode protected with Keyswitch and Password A

• Set Date and Time protected with Keyswitch and Password B

• Page 9, the machine parameter page, protected with Keyswitch

• Reset Part Counter Readout Template protected with Password A

• Operating Temperature Setpoint Readout Template protected with Password B

Lost Password RecoveryIt is not possible to determine the passwords in an online unit, however, it is possibleto recover if a password is lost. There are two techniques which may be used.

If the User Configuration had the Overwrite Password fields selected, you can simplyuse the Transfer Utility to upload the configuration from the PanelMate unit to apersonal computer and then download it to the PanelMate unit. This will cause thesystem to revert to the original passwords which were set in the configuration. If theOffline Mode selection is password protected, you must remove the ElectronicsModule Assembly from the front panel to automatically invoke the transfer mode.

If the User Configuration does not have the Overwrite Password fields selected, youmust use the Configuration Software to upload the configuration. Next, modify theconfiguration and select the Overwrite Password fields and enter the new passwords.Finally, download the new configuration to the PanelMate unit.

Chapter 7: Fault Relay ��

Fault Relay


• About the fault relay


Fault RelayThe fault relay is a relay contact output with normally open and normally closedcontacts. At power up, the PanelMate unit performs system diagnostics. If diagnosticsare passed, the fault relay is energized (enabled). The unit begins communications toPLCs. Four events can cause the fault relay to de-energize: online system error,communication error, alarm (if this feature is selected), and loss of power.

Note that the PanelMate Power Series 1500 does not support an external Fault Relay.

Fault Relay and Online System Errors

Proper operation of the system is monitored to ensure that all internal processes areactive and functioning normally. If a system error is detected, the fault relay is de-energized, the system is halted and an error message is displayed at the bottom of thescreen. Refer to the Errors During Run Mode topic for more details.

Fault Relay and Communication Errors

Integrity of the communication link to the PLC (or Host Computer) is monitored byensuring that proper responses are received for each transmission that the PanelMateunit makes. If a communication attempt fails, the PanelMate unit will re-transmit arequest several times before reporting a communication error. When a communicationerror is detected, the fault relay is de-energized and an error message is displayed atthe bottom of the screen. Communications with operational PLCs will continue.

When a communication error exists, the continual re-transmission of messages maybegin to slow system response. Every PLC write transmission is sent, then re-tried andthen discarded. The frequency of the re-transmission gradually decreases to fiveminutes if requests continue to fail over a prolonged period of time. This featureeffectively prevents failing requests from slowing network communications. If theoperator inputs control buttons faster than the transmission rate of the network duringcommunication errors, the PanelMate unit will buffer PLC writes in order to ensurethat all control commands are processed. When the communication error clears, thebuffered control button writes will be sent in rapid succession.

Chapter 7: Fault Relay ��

Warning

If blank templates appear on the screen, a communication error has occurred. Theoperator should not attempt to perform control with blank templates as this may causecontrol buttons to be buffered in the PanelMate unit. Buffered control buttons may besent in rapid succession when the communication error clears and may result inundesirable control system operation.

The System Parameters - Communications Tab dialog box permits the selection ofsetting all referenced control button bits to zero when the Enable Fault Relay controlbutton is pressed or when a Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit reference is triggered bythe PLC. To set all control button bits to zero, the Bit Zero After Comm Fault field inthe System Parameters – Communication Tab dialog box must be selected. Toconfigure a Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit, the Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit fieldmust be configured in the System Parameters – Remote Tab dialog box. Refer tothe System Parameters - Communications Tab dialog box or the SystemParameters – Remote Tab dialog box in the Configuration Editor User’s Guide formore information.

The data at the time of a communication failure will remain on the current page. Alldata from other PLCs which are communicating correctly will be displayed as usual.If the communication error continues to exist and you select a different page, then nodata from the PLC with errors will be shown on the newly selected page. Forexample, if the page contains a readout template, no numerical data from the PLCwith the communication errors will be shown. Once the communication problem iscorrected and the Enable Fault Relay control button is pressed or the Remote EnableFault Relay Bit reference is triggered by the PLC, the fault relay will be energized andthe page will be re-drawn. Any references to a PLC which are not communicating willnot be re-drawn until valid communications have resumed. If the communication errorstill exists, the fault relay will be de-energized and a communication error messagewill be displayed on the bottom line of the screen.


Note that pressing the Enable Fault Relay control button or triggering the RemoteEnable Fault Relay Bit reference may still cause invalid information to be displayed.For example, if an expression for a bar template value contains a reference to a PLCwhich is communicating and also to a PLC which is not communicating, the bar willbe updated on the screen even though invalid data may appear on the screen.

When communications have been re-established, the relay remains de-energized untilthe operator presses the Enable Fault Relay control button or a Remote Enable FaultRelay Bit reference is triggered by a PLC.

Fault Relay and Alarms

The Fault Relay De-energize on Alarm field in the Systems Parameters –Communications Tab dialog box allows the Fault Relay to de-energize when analarm occurs. If the Fault Relay De-energize on Alarm field is selected, the fault relaywill be de-energized when an alarm condition is detected. If the Fault Relay De-energize on Alarm field is not selected, the fault relay will not be associated withalarming. Refer to the System Parameters – Communications Tab dialog box in theConfiguration Editor User’s Guide for more information.

Fault Relay and Loss of Power

A loss of power will cause the fault relay to de-energize. If the online system was inthe Run Mode before the loss of power and power is restored, it will return to the RunMode.

Chapter 8: Maintenance Template ��

Maintenance Template


• About the Maintenance Template


Maintenance TemplateIn order to use the Maintenance Template online, you must configure the Allow onPage selection in the New Configuration Page dialog box or in the Page Propertiesdialog box within the Configuration Editor.

It is important to note that when in Run Mode, do not place Maintenance Templatesin an area of the screen where invisible templates are located. If an invisible templatebecomes visible, it will draw on top of the Maintenance Template. The MaintenanceTemplate will not be able to be selected for de-activation until the object obscuringthat template becomes invisible. It is recommended that on pages which use thetemplate visibility and allow Maintenance Template selection, an area of the page bereserved for placement of the Maintenance Template.

To access the Maintenance Template online, you must press the Get Page controlbutton from the default control buttons online, press the More Buttons control button(More on a touchscreen unit), and then press the Maintenance Template controlbutton. The Maintenance Template selection cursor will appear in the upper leftcorner. You can place the Maintenance Template on any cell including cells alreadyoccupied by a fixed template or another Maintenance Template. You cannot place aMaintenance Template on top of a variable-sized template.

Note that the Maintenance Template will not appear on your page until you press theActivate control button. (The default PLC Name will appear in the MaintenanceTemplate.) If you press the Deactivate control button, the Maintenance Template willbe removed from your page.

Once the Maintenance Template is activated, press the CANCEL key and re-selectthe Maintenance Template. The Deactivate and Modify Template control buttonswill appear.

Note that when selecting a template cell to place a Maintenance Template, staticvalues will be displayed in the template’s value fields if the PanelMate unit is notcommunicating to the PLC.


Start MonitorThis control button label will toggle between Start Monitor and Stop Monitor. Withthis control button, it is possible to freeze a value for prolonged observation.

When you press the Start Monitor control button and the Enable Writes field in theNew Configuration Page dialog box is configured on the page and the MaintenanceTemplate is configured with a valid reference, the Change Value control button willalso appear.

Note that if the double high font is redefined, the Maintenance Template will be blankfor numeric and hex display formats unless the characters have been redefined. If thecharacters have been redefined, then the redefined characters will be displayed.

DeactivateThis control button will delete the Maintenance Template from the page.

Change ValueThis control button will be displayed only if the Enable Writes field in the NewConfiguration dialog box or the Page Properties dialog box was configured for thepage. This control button will change the display and open a data entry field to permitthe operator to enter a value. If Password Protection has been configured in the NewConfiguration dialog box or the Page Properties dialog box for the pages thatcontain Maintenance Templates, the operator will be prompted before data entry ispermitted.


Modify TemplateThis control button is used to change the configuration of the Maintenance Template.This control button will change the display and call three control buttons. The controlbuttons are Change PLC Name, Change PLC Ref, and Data Format. The operatormay change one or all of the three entry variables (name, reference, format). Whenthe Maintenance Template is configured with a valid reference, the Start Monitorcontrol button will appear. Once you are satisfied with the changes, you must pressthe Start Monitor control button. This will advise the PanelMate unit to check thename, reference, and format to determine if they are valid, and if valid, begin to readthat information.

If the reference is invalid, an error will be displayed on the error line on the bottom ofthe page and the reference will be cleared.

Change PLC NameThe online selection of the PLC Name occurs in the Change PLC Name controlbutton. The default PLC Name will be displayed in the data entry field. Use thePrevious or Next control buttons to scroll through the list of names entered in thePLC Name and Port Table dialog box.

Once you press the Change PLC Name control buttons, three buttons will appearlabeled Previous, Next, and Accept.


Change PLC RefThe online selection of the PLC Register Reference occurs in the reference field ofthe template. The operator must know the correct alpha and numeric characters toenter to access the memory of the PLC to which it is communicating. See yourCommunications Driver Manual for more information. If the PLC brand uses numbersonly, the numeric keypad may be used to enter the address. If the PLC brand requirescharacters other than numeric, then the Previous, Next, and Clear buttons will servea special purpose. The Previous and Next button are used to determine the operationof the Clear button which becomes a “Hot Key” . The functionality of the Hot Keycan be changed by using the buttons labeled Previous and Next. The Hot Key canassume the following functionality:

KeypadHot Keys

TouchscreenHot Keys Description

Cursor Right >> Move the entry cursor one characterright.

Cursor Left << Move the entry cursor one character left.

Delete DEL Delete the character at the current cursorposition.

Space SPACE Place a blank space at the current cursorposition.

Clear CLEAR Clear the entire entry field.

Select SEL Enters the mode to select alpha characterstrings.

Upon entering the Change PLC Reference mode, the Hot Key labeled “Clear” will bedisplayed. Selecting the Previous button will change the Hot Key to Space, whileselecting the Next button will change the Hot Key to Select.


Upon entering the Select mode, the first of a list of alpha characters for the currentlyselected PLC Name will be displayed in the data entry field. Selecting the Next buttonwill move deeper into the alpha character list while selecting Previous button wouldtake you back to Clear. Once in the Select mode, the Previous and Next keys willscroll through the alpha character strings that are required to address the PLC brandassociated with the PLC Name currently selected. Once the correct character string isdisplayed, you may press the Select Hot Key to lock in that character. Alternately,you may press a numeric key which will lock in the alpha key and enter a number.Pressing the numeric key will reduce the number of keystrokes and permit fasterentry. Do not press the Accept button until the entire address is entered or an errormay occur.

The operator uses a combination of Hot Key entry and numeric entry to enter theaddress for the PLC. The Hot Key may also be used to edit an existing addresswithout requiring complete re-entry of the address. Refer to the MaintenanceTemplate Examples for more information.

The overstrike replaces the 1. The valuenow reads N7:20.Press the Accept button to enter the address.

As a final step, press the top Start Monitor control button to begin reading thataddress.


Data FormatThe register can be formatted to display in one of the following selections: NUM,BITS, or HEX.

• If NUM is selected, the data will display in a numeric format. The PanelMateunit will automatically type cast information based upon the memory area of thePLC which is read. This means it will manage integer, BCD, and binary datatypes and display them as numbers. Numeric entries will be converted to thecorrect data type and sent to the PLC if the Enable Writes field is configured inthe New Configuration Page dialog box or in the Page Properties dialog box.

• If BITS is selected, the data is entered and will be displayed in a binary bitpattern for the register selected. If the PLC word contains 16 bits, then thedisplay will show two 8 bit bytes. The sequence is high byte above low byte andhigh bit to the left, low bit to the right. The bit values will not be manipulated toany data format. The operator accepts responsibility for entering a legal bitcombination. (For example, writing 1111 to a BCD digit is an illegal value.)

• If HEX is selected, the data is entered and will be displayed in hexadecimalformat (0-9 and A-F) of the bit pattern for the register selected.

Sixteen bit values are displayed in four-digit HEX representation.

Example: 0023 HEX is written to the PLC as 0000 0000 0010 0011.It is not converted to 35 decimal or 0000 0000 0100 0101 in binary.

Only NUM types are converted to the numeric value based upon the memory areas ofthe PLC referenced.

The figure below shows an example of a 16-bit word in a Maintenance Template withthe Bits format selected.

The Maintenance Template does not support 32-bit registers (i.e., #S32, #U32,#BIN6, #BIN8, #BCD8, #BCD6, and #FP).

The Maintenance Template does not support unsoliciteds.

• About error codes


Remote I/O Errors

Warning

If communication errors occur on the remote I/O link, control bit write informationentered in the PanelMate unit may cause control bits to be sent to the AcceleratI/Onboard memory and not transmitted to the PLC. When the Remote I/O link is re-established all of the new control bit information is sent to the PLC. Buffered controlbit information will be sent when the communication error clears and may result inundesirable control system operation.

Errors During Run ModeDuring Run Mode operation three basic conditions are checked:

• proper communications with PLC or host computer

• proper operation of the microprocessor

• proper operation of the Executive Firmware

If there is a PLC or host computer problem, the error is classified as a CommunicationError. The two types of Communication Errors are local errors and remote errors.

If there is a microprocessor or Executive Firmware problem, the error is classified asa System Error.

Refer to the Error Codes topic for a list of error codes and their descriptions.

Note that you can also receive remote I/O errors.


Communication ErrorsThe PanelMate unit can interface with a single PLC or with multiple PLCs. Itprovides predictable fault responses with the occurrence of communication errorswhich indicate a breakdown in communication between the PanelMate unit and aPLC. It is the Control System Designer’s responsibility to define how the operatorshould respond to an error.

The PanelMate unit provides two indications when a communication error occurs: anerror message is written to the bottom of the screen and the fault relay is de-energized. The fault relay is provided for both local annunciation to an operator andto send hardwired feedback to a PLC.

Once a communication error occurs, the operator should first note the page status.The data is a snapshot in time of the last valid communication. The next action is totry to clear the error by pressing the Enable Fault Relay control button or triggeringthe Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit reference. This energizes the fault relay andattempts to restart communications. If the condition causing the error no longer exists,the screen is updated with dynamic information. If the error remains, the fault relay isde-energized again and the communication error message is written to the screen. Ifvalues could not be read due to the lack of communications, then templates will bedisplayed as blank.

Warning

If blank templates appear on the screen, it means that communications have not beenre-established. The operator should not attempt to perform control with blanktemplates because the actual state of the machine or process cannot be determined. Ifthe operator continues to press control buttons, data may be sent faster than thecommunication link which is in error can handle them. The PanelMate unit will bufferthe control requests until communications have re-established. This may result incontrol bits being sent to a PLC in rapid succession which may cause undesirableoperation of the control system.


Communication errors can be cleared by pressing the Enable Fault Relay controlbutton, triggering the Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit reference, or changing pages,provided the reason for the error no longer exists. Integrity of the communication linkto the PLC (or host) is monitored by ensuring that proper responses are received foreach transmission that the PanelMate unit makes, according to the specific protocol inuse.

Communication problems can include:

• Broken or incorrect cabling to the PLC• PLC or interface card failure• Incorrect setting of PLC interface card switches• Removal of a PLC from the active network• Attempt to access a non-existent PLC address• Attempt to write to a protected PLC address• Too much traffic on a PLC network

The PanelMate unit will try to re-transmit a request several times before reporting thata communications error has occurred. Unlike Systems Errors, Communication Errorsdo not halt the system. The PanelMate unit continues to re-transmit requestsindefinitely, even after an error has been reported.

The frequency of the re-transmission gradually decreases to five minutes if requestscontinue to fail over a prolonged period of time. This feature effectively preventsfailing requests from conflicting with other communications.



Local ErrorsLocal errors are reported on the bottom of the screen as follows:

where

X is an internally generated communication error code which indicates thenature of the problem. Refer to the Error Codes topic for a list of errorcodes and their descriptions.

N is the PLC name in the PLC Name and Port Table

P is the port

O is the operation being performed

R is the reference

Remote ErrorsRemote errors are reported on the bottom of the screen as follows:

where

X is a generated communication error code from a remote device. Refer to yourPLC user manual for more information on this error code.

N is the PLC name in the PLC Name and Port Table

P is the port


R is the reference


If you are using Allen-Bradley PLCs for Data Highway or Data Highway Plus, acomplete set of error codes can be found in the Allen-Bradley Publication 1770-6.5.16, November 1991. Take note of the hexadecimal error code and consult theAllen-Bradley publication. If the remote error code is F0XX (hex), then the XXrepresents the Allen-Bradley EXT STS (extended status) error code. The EXT STScodes are found in the EXT STS Codes for Command Code 0F (hex) table. Otherremote error codes are found in the Remote STS Error Codes table.

When a communication error is reported, the fault relay is de-energized, but thesystem continues to operate. Other PLC transmissions will be attempted andprocessed. Transmissions which have failed will be re-attempted until normalcommunication is re-established. Each time the error is detected, the message will bereprinted at the bottom of the screen (and the relay will be de-energized). The data atthe time of a communication failure will remain on the current page. If a differentpage is selected, no data from the PLC with errors will be shown. For example, if thepage contains a readout template, no numerical data from the PLC with thecommunication errors will be shown. The numerical area will be blank. All data fromother PLCs which are operating correctly, will be displayed as usual. Once thecommunications problem is corrected and the Enable Fault Relay control button ispressed or the Remote Enable Fault Relay Bit reference is triggered by the PLC, thepage will be re-drawn. Any templates or Variable-Sized Templates which reference aPLC which is not communicating will not be re-drawn until valid communications hasresumed.

When the error is corrected, the relay remains de-energized until the operator pressesthe Enable Fault Relay control button or the Remote Enable Fault Relay Bitreference is triggered by the PLC, which appears on the default selections when acommunications error occurs. This also clears the message from the bottom of thescreen. (The button label disappears once the button has been pressed.)

Note that invalid information may still be displayed. For example, if an expression fora Variable-Sized Bar Template value contains a reference to PLC which iscommunicating and also contains a reference to a PLC which is not communicating,the Variable-Sized Bar Template will be updated on the screen, even though invaliddata may be in the data base.



System ErrorsDuring Run Mode operation, two basic conditions are checked in the PanelMate unit:proper operation of the CPU and proper operation of the system software.

Proper operation of the microprocessor is monitored by a Watchdog Timer. If amicroprocessor error is detected, the fault relay is de-energized, the screen willdisplay “Watchdog Time-out. Press Cancel Key to Continue” , and the system ishalted.

One possible reason for the Watchdog Time-out error could be related to the power.Check to make sure that the PanelMate unit is properly installed. If problems stilloccur, call your local distributor for more information.

Proper operation of system software is monitored to ensure that all internal processesare active and functioning normally. If a system software error is detected, the faultrelay is de-energized, and the system is halted.

An error message is displayed at the bottom of the screen:

where

X a system error code which indicates the nature of the problem. Refer to theError Codes topic for a list of the error codes and their descriptions.


P is an internal error code. This error code may appear more than onetime.

Note that if these error messages appear, please call your local distributor.

Online Operation ProblemsSome common online operation problems and solutions are listed below.

For information on configuration editor or transfer problems, refer to theConfiguration Editor User’s Guide or the Transfer Utility User’s Guide.

Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action

When going online, thefollowing error messageappears:

“User configurationindicates missingdownloadable driver.Download of newconfiguration or missingdownloadable driver isrequired”

Configuration does nothave a driver defined in thePLC Name and PortTable dialog box.

Configure the PLC Nameand Port Table dialogbox, save, export, andtransfer correctedconfiguration.

Line Trend Templatesdisplays blank databetween trended points.

1. Sampled values for oneor more pens is outside themaximum or minimumtrend limits set in theconfiguration editor for thatpart of the template.

1. Expand the trend rangefor the affected pens.

2. Due to overallPanelMate loading or PLCnetwork loading, the datacould not be read from thePLC in the configured timeinterval. (Note that this ismore likely to occur on thePanelMate Power Series1500 due to its lowerperformance processorboard.)

2. Reduce the sample rateby increasing the sampleinterval expression; orreduce the backgroundPanelMate polling byadjusting the alarm scandelay and message scandelay (possibly even thepage scan delay) in theSystem Parameters -Communication Tabdialog box; or reduce PLCnetwork loading byreducing or eliminatingother PLC network traffic.
