Important If the optional user EPROM or EEPROM is corrupted or not
installed, the terminal will display this fault message each time it is
powered up:
You can safely clear this message and continue. You can also disable this
message altogether, through the Configuration Mode Menu item User
EPROM/EEPROM Power-up Test, explained later in this chapter.
In the case of a corrupted application file, download the file again. If the
problem persists, your PanelView 1200 terminal requires servicing; contact
your Allen-Bradley representative.
Battery Failure Test
The battery should last the life of the PanelView 1200 terminal. However,
the battery is constantly monitored when the PanelView 1200 terminal is in
Run mode because the battery-backed RAM is so important to PanelView
1200 terminal operation.
If the battery should fail, a Minor Fault message will appear to inform the
operator. As long as the terminal's power is not turned off, there is no
problem. If power is lost and restored to the terminal, the results depend on
whether there is a user PROM installed.
The following table lists the results of terminal power loss after battery
failure.
This happens:
The application file in battery backed
RAM is lost.
The application file will be reloaded into
RAM from the user EPROM/EEPROM,
but any retained values will be lost.
Fault level:
What to do when terminal power is
returned:
MAJOR FAULT:
For temporary use of the terminal,
download the file again and do not cycle
power. Call your A B representative to
replace the board.
MINOR FAULT:
Press CLEAR to clear the message and
proceed. Call your A B representative to
replace the board the battery is on.
