GFK-1115 Chapter 6 Demo Project 6 - 15
Error Picture
Note
To simulate an error, simply unplug the cable between the Panel and the PLC
and the ERROR picture will be displayed.
If the connection between the Panel and the PLC is disrupted for any reason, the error picture,
which contains information about the error, is displayed on the Panel display. More detailed
information on error numbers and text can be found in the PANELWARE™ Configuration
Software Reference Manual (GFK-0849).
Key LEDs:
Note
If the Main menu is active, disrupting the connection between the Panel and the
PLC will not cause the ERROR picture to be displayed. The ERROR picture will
only be displayed if the picture is changed to one containing fields that should
be displaying values from the PLC.
Key F8 is used to ignore the communication error and return to the original picture. Correcting
the error automatically restores the original picture. The use of a function key to ignore the
communications error is useful when multiple PLC connections are defined in the project and you
wish to use the MMI although one or more connections have been lost.
