The following table lists the most common minor fault messages that can
appear on a PanelView 1200 terminal.
Cause
There is no valid application file.
There is an audio hardware problem.
Too much incoming data.
Powerup screen does not exist or is faulty.
Optional EPROM or EEPROM was not found or
is faulty.
The battery for application file memory is dead.
The communication card is defective or not
installed.
The PLC has selected a non existent screen
number.
The EEPROM is faulty or user memory
configuration jumpers are set incorrectly.
Address not sufficient for data transfer.
Current screen number transferred to PLC is not
sufficient.
Numeric entry or display address length is
insufficient for data.
PLC controller has control of screen change.
Operator is trying to change screens while a
button's hold time is still in effect or before an
activated Latched Push Button has received a
handshake.
What to do
Go off line and download the file again.
Servicing by Allen Bradley is required.
The operator should stop all input until the
PanelView 1200 terminal can process data.
Reassign the Powerup Screen or check the
configuration data in the PanelBuilder
application file.
If no user EPROM or EEPROM is installed,
ignore this message. You can disable the test
and the message in the Configuration Mode
Menu.
If a user EPROM or EEPROM is installed, check
PROM jumpers, look for bent pins, check for
proper PROM notch alignment, and verify that
there is a valid program in the PROM. If the
PROM is an EEPROM, try downloading the
application file again.
Upload the application file and save it on disk.
Servicing by Allen Bradley is required.
Servicing by Allen Bradley is required.
Reprogram the PLC or the application file.
Check the EEPROM, and verify user memory
configuration jumper settings.
Increase bit length of address so it's large
enough for screen transfer, including Alarm
History and Alarm Status screens.
Increase address length for data.
Disable PLC Controlled Screen Change.
Set PLC Controlled Screen Change value to 0.
Wait until hold time is finished or Latched
handshake is received before trying to change
screens.
