12 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-UM006A-EN-P - November 2010
Chapter 1 Overview
Windows CE Operating
System
All PanelView Plus 6 terminals run the Windows CE operating system (OS),
providing the foundational OS elements for the majority of user needs.
For users with more complex application requirements, PanelView Plus 6
terminals are available with optional, extended features, and file viewers.
Open Versus Closed System
All PanelView Plus 6 terminals can be configured to run an open or closed
desktop environment:
• An open system launches the Windows Explorer shell on startup and
appears with the Windows CE desktop and control panel. The system is
configurable via the control panel and supports Windows operations.
• A closed system launches a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application
on startup and does not allow access to the Windows CE desktop.
All terminals are initially shipped as closed systems restricting access to the
desktop. The first time you start the system, the terminal launches FactoryTalk
View ME Station Configuration mode. At this point, you can change the start-up
option and allow desktop access.
