In one sentence

PanelView Plus 7 is a series of Allen-Bradley graphic terminals from Rockwell Automation, configured with FactoryTalk View ME.

Example

The machine builder develops the screens in FactoryTalk View Studio and downloads the runtime application to a PanelView Plus 7 terminal on the machine.

How it applies

  • Engineering: Check the performance and standard variants, screen sizes and supported communication for the application. The runtime application file version must fit the terminal firmware.
  • Maintenance: Keep the application file, firmware version and development software version together in the machine's Configuration baseline, so a replacement terminal can be restored reliably.
  • Documentation: Record the catalog number and firmware in the parts list. Machine manuals describe the machine-specific screens; hardware installation stays with Rockwell Automation's manuals.
  • Operation: Operators work with the machine-specific application. Describe its screens and access levels in the machine's operating manual, not the terminal's general features.

Keep in mind: Product names, variants and features change. Check designations, firmware and software versions against Rockwell Automation's current documentation before publishing.
