Application Programming - Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley MobileView Terminal Application Technique

Application Programming

This section provides information about the application programs being executed on the Compact GuardLogix
controller, the MobileView terminal, and the Stratix 5700 switch.
TIP In this publication, the application examples use a Compact GuardLogix controller, but the information also applies to any Logix
safety controller.
Compact GuardLogix Controller
The controller application performs non-safety and safety routines to manage the MobileView Terminal (with the gray
stop button), the MobileView IP20 junction box, a bypass switch, a reset button, and an E-stop button through a
POINT I/O safety module.
All devices are connected on the EtherNet/IP network through the Stratix 5700 switch.
Non-safety routines detect which junction box is used to connect the MobileView terminal. This detection is done
through a presence bit defined inside the Stratix add-on profile to know which Ethernet port is used.
The bypass switch is set to RUN to activate the junction box connection, and BYPASS to deactivate the junction box
connection. With these settings, the MobileView terminal connection cable can plugged into and unplugged from the
junction box without prompting any emergency conditions.
The reset push button is used to recover a fault condition when a safety instruction returns a fault presence (FP) bit. The
E-stop button, which should be located close to the junction box, is managed with specific instructions inside the safety
routine.The gray stop button on the MobileView terminal has the same functionality of the E-stop button but is not
rated as an E-stop safety function. The safety reset button is a virtual button on a faceplate used by the FactoryTalk® View
Machine Edition (ME) application on the MobileView terminal. For more information about this button, see the
MobileView Terminal section.
MobileView Terminal
When the MobileView terminal is plugged into a junction box, the terminal powers on and runs the FactoryTalk View
ME application on the MobileView terminal. This application uses a faceplate (start-up display) that monitors the area of
the connected junction box. When you press the Return to Overview push button, the FactoryTalk View ME application
shows all three areas (one faceplate per area). See
boxes.
A local message display shows operation information and fault
details (A). Press the related fault push button to reset a fault
condition (B). Press the safety reset push button (C) to perform a
safety reset and to recover from any emergency condition.
The FactoryTalk View ME faceplate shows icons and status
information for E-stop (D), the MobileView gray stop push button
(E), bypass switch (F), and auxiliary power on (G).
A specific icon shows which junction box is currently connected (H).
When visible, the MobileView Disconnection Request button starts the MobileView disconnect procedure. A local
message display shows the steps for this procedure.
