3 Using PanelView Plus v5.10 with V20 Controllers For a PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminal to communicate with a V20 controller the following is necessary Upgrade PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE to firmware Upgrade FactoryTalk Services (FactoryTalk Diagnostics, FactoryTalk Service Platform, FactoryTalk Activation, and RSLinx Enterprise) to CPR9 SR5 version. There is a single downloadable install for this FT Service upgrade that is designed to require minimal user interaction with the install, and deliver all the products in a single install operation. See Knowbase Article # It is not necessary to upgrade any FactoryTalk View v5.x application to a newer version

4 PanelView Plus 6 Recent Enhancements Added Features and Improved Usability. v Enhancement (August 2011) SMTP ActiveX Web Browser ActiveX Control v (April 2012) Screen Rotation capability Logo Manager for Custom Logo Improved Configuration Menus for Services Upgraded VNC server for Remote Connection New Terminal Full Backup/Restore Utility Support for USB Audio 4

5 Enhancements via Remote Access with PVP6 ( ) Improved w/ April 2012 Firmware Remote access to the terminal New VNC Server Enhancements on PanelView Plus supports two VNC client connections Variety of remote connection technologies Server Clients Technology PVP 6 Browser Enabled PC iphone/ ipad ViewPoint VNC FTP Knowledgebase Note Android device

6 Expand Your Network Capabilities PCI Ethernet Accessory: Provides a second, isolated Ethernet port does NOT support DLR. Expand the capabilities of PanelView Plus 6 ( ) with remote connection capability Allow data segregation between Control network and Enterprise network when the system is properly architected. 2711P-RN20 Expected Release: Winter 2012 Enterprise Zone DMZ NIC2: Cell/Area Zones PVP6 NIC1:

19 Observe Application Status USB Camera ActiveX Embed live USB video feed on display Snapshot capability Camera determines available frame rates and sizes

20 Retrieve Runtime Terminal Information Terminal Info ActiveX Capture information for internal and external NIC TCP/IP device name TCP/IP address Subnet mask MAC Id Capture terminal environmental data at runtime Temperatures (CPU, Display) Load (CPU, Memory) Battery voltage

21 Simplify Complex Runtime Tasks Macro Multiplexer ActiveX Programmatic control of macro execution Index tags selects one of up to 100 configured macro to execute Implement more than one ActiveX to control more than 100 macros Case Statement ActiveX Quickly convert a number to a string Supports six operations LEQ, LES, EQU, NEQ, GRT, GEQ Create up to 50 test cases Support default result case Implement more than one ActiveX to handle more than 50 test cases Eliminates the need to use large complex IF-ELSEIF constructs in macros

22 Increase Flexibility of Reusable Components Added variable capability to Goto Display and Macro button Allows programmatic control of the target (display destination or macro) New connection supports literals ( mydisplay ), tags ({mytag}), and placeholders ({#1})

23 Expanded Data Logging Capability Increased data model size to 1,000,000 10ms log rate application can store data for 1s log rate application can store data for 10s log rate application can store data for s log rate application can store data for 1.90 yrs

24 Additional Features Load to SD card Save internal storage space System runs MER from SD card Scroll diagnostic messages left and right to view entire message
