Overview Chapter 1
USB Port
The PanelView Component terminals have a USB device port to
support communication with the terminal using TCP/IP.
With the USB device port connected to a computer, use your
computer’s browser to connect to the terminal. The IP address of the
USB port is always 169.254.254.2.
Ethernet Port
The C600 and C1000 terminals have an Ethernet port. The Ethernet
port supports both static IP addresses and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigned IP addresses. If using static
IP addressing, then you manually set the IP address, the subnet mask,
and the default gateway. If using DHCP, then the server automatically
assigns an IP address, the subnet mask, the default gateway, and the
DNS and WINS server.
PanelView Explorer
PanelView Explorer is the design environment for the PanelView
Component terminals. You access the design environment through
your browser while connected to the terminal. Applications created in
the design environment are simultaneously viewed on the connected
terminal. In addition to graphic objects and drawings, the design
environment provides support for communication, tags, alarms,
security, recipes, and language support.
IMPORTANT
Before connecting your computer to the USB port of the
PanelView Component terminal, you must first install the
Allen-Bradley PanelView USB remote NDIS Network Device
driver on your computer. Refer to
Install the USB Driver on
page 63.
IMPORTANT
If a terminal is set for DHCP and is not on a network or is on a
network that does not have a DHCP server (or the server is not
available), it will automatically assign itself an Automatic
Private IP Address (or auto IP address). The auto IP address will
be in the range of 169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255.
The terminal makes sure the auto IP address is unique from any
other auto IP address of other devices on the network. The
terminal can now communicate with other devices on the
network that have IP addresses in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range
(and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0).
