Overview Chapter 1
Startup Options
You can configure your terminal to perform one of three actions at startup:
• Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application
• Launch the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Configuration mode of
the terminal where you load and run applications, configure startup
options and terminal settings, and enable or disable desktop access.
• Launch the Windows Explorer desktop shell. The system is configurable
via the control panel and supports Windows operations.
The factory default state and the startup option following a firmware upgrade is
to launch the FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode of the terminal.
Refer to Start
up Options on page 47 for information on how to change the
startup option.
Desktop Access
Any of the terminals can be configured to allow or restrict desktop access. From
the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run third-
party applications. Terminals with optional, extended features can additionally
run viewers, media players, and launch the web browser. You can even allow access
temporarily to perform specific tasks, then disable desktop access to prevent
unauthorized changes.
Refer to Desktop Access
on page 50 for details on how to modify desktop access.
Software Support
All PanelView Plus 6 terminals support the same HMI software.
Table 2 - PanelView Plus 6 Software Support
TIP
All terminals are initially shipped with desktop access disabled.
IMPORTANT
Allowing desktop access does not change the feature set of your
terminal. For example, If you have a PanelView Plus 6 terminal without
extended features, opening the desktop will not give you access to them.
