How to Connect Browser The terminals can be connected to a browser using an Ethernet network
connection. You must enter the IP address of the PanelView 800 terminal into
the address field of your browser. You can find the IP address on the terminal
configuration screen under Communications.

IMPORTANT The web browser feature is only supported on PanelView 800 terminals
with firmware revision 2.020 or earlier. It is not supported from
firmware revision 3.011 onwards.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021 13

Chapter 1 Overview

USB Device Port

The PanelView 800 terminals have a USB device port to support

communication with the terminal using TCP/IP.

IMPORTANT The USB device port is for maintenance only and is not intended for normal
runtime operation.
The USB device port is not intended for Customer use.

Ethernet Port
The PanelView 800 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.

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 is 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).

PanelView Explorer PanelView Explorer is the browser interface for interacting with PanelView
800 terminals. Through this interface you can configure the terminal settings,
transfer files, test, and run applications. See Appendix F for more information
on using PanelView Explorer.

IMPORTANT The PanelView Explorer feature is only supported on PanelView 800

terminals with firmware revision 2.020 or earlier. It is not supported from
firmware revision 3.011 onwards.

Peripheral Connection PanelView 800 terminals have a USB host port. You can power USB
peripherals directly from the PanelView 800 terminal. If the USB peripheral is
not powered directly from the PanelView USB port either:
• install the USB peripheral in the same enclosure as the PanelView
terminal and make sure it is connected to the same ground system.
• connect to the USB peripheral through a galvanically isolated hub.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power

applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur.
This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

14 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021

 Chapter 1 Overview

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the USB cable with power applied to
this module or any device on the USB network, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

ATTENTION: Removing the USB flash drive or microSD card, from the
PanelView 800 terminal, while a firmware upgrade is in process, could
corrupt the firmware and make the terminal unusable. Take precautions to
prevent the USB flash drive or microSD card from being accidentally
disconnected. Also, do not power off the terminal while a firmware upgrade is
in progress.
USB hubs can produce unexpected behaviors and as a result are not
recommended.

Chapter 2 Configure the Terminal

Change Ethernet Settings

You can establish an Ethernet connection between the connected PanelView

800 terminal and computer using the Ethernet port on the terminal.
You cannot change the Ethernet settings from PanelView Explorer. If you want to
change this setting, you must do so from the terminal configuration screens.

For the Ethernet port, IP addresses can be set dynamically by the network if
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled. If DHCP is disabled,
the IP addresses must be entered manually.

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 is in the range of
169.254.0.0…169.254.255.255.
The terminal makes sure that 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).

Transferring Applications Applications that are created for one PanelView 800 terminal can be used on
other PanelView 800 terminals. For example, you might create an application
for one terminal and then distribute the application to other terminals for
production. An application created for PanelView 800 terminals cannot be
used on older PanelView Component terminals.

Transferring an application is a two-step process.

• Export the application from the internal storage of the terminal to a USB
flash drive or microSD card.
• Import the application from a USB flash drive, or microSD card to the
internal storage of another terminal.

If the target terminal is a different type and size than the source terminal,
some aspects of the application are converted and the remaining properties
require updates. If trying to run an application, you are warned that the
application was not created for the terminal, but you are given an option to
continue or cancel unless the differences make it impossible to run the
application (for example, an Ethernet application on a terminal without an
Ethernet network connection).

PanelView 800 applications are saved with a “.cha” file type.

Secure Design Environment The secure design environment lets you restrict user access to screens in an
application and protect the application from unauthorized updates. By
default, all users have unrestricted access to the application. This means any
user can access and make changes to the application. They can also access any
application screens on the terminal at runtime.

Use the secure design environment to:

• Limit users who have access to the system by setting up user accounts
and passwords. The default users (All Users*) do not require a password.
• Create access rights for screens in the application.
• Assign these access rights to users on a need basis. Only users with a
need to access a screen should hold access rights to the screen.
• Protect the application from updates by restricting user access to design
mode. Only users with design rights are allowed to access and update an
application. Initially, all users have design rights to an application.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021 79

Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

• Create security buttons that are used at runtime by operators to login or

logout, change passwords, reset passwords, or disable security.
• Change the idle timeout that automatically logs the user out from a
secured screen to the Startup screen after idle timeout period elapses.

IMPORTANT At least one user must have the design right if you want to allow
updates to the application. If no user is assigned this right, no one will
be able to edit the application. Initially, all users have design rights to an
application. This means anyone can edit the application without logging
in.

Read the rest of this chapter to learn how to make use of the secure design
environment.

Manage User Accounts Follow these steps to access the User Accounts screen.

 Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

Setting Description
Adjust or disable the idle timeout by selecting the value from the drop-down list. If disabled, the application will not transition from a
secured screen to the startup screen.
The default idle timeout is 15 minutes. If the terminal receives no user input within that 15 minute period, it goes into Idle mode. User
Idle Time Out Length input includes key presses, touch screen presses, external mouse, or keyboard input.
If the terminal goes into idle mode, the application transitions from a secured screen to the startup screen. The screen does not
change if the current screen is unsecured. The current user is logged out and the user must log in again.
Masks a password with a character when it is entered so that it is not visible. To disable this feature, set the option to False. Disabling
Mask Password Entry this feature is not recommended.
Prevents the use of an empty string as a password. If you set the option to True and you have an application that is using an empty
password, when you are prompted for screen access, you will be asked to change the password and the action cannot be canceled.
If you allow empty passwords, you will be asked for confirmation when you enter an empty password. If you don’t allow empty
Disable Empty Password passwords, a warning is displayed in the Validation result. You can choose to ignore and download the application to your terminal,
but you will be asked to change the password and the action cannot be canceled.
This feature is only available in Connected Components Workbench software version 12 or later. It also requires firmware revision
5.012 or later.
By default, user names and passwords are entered using an alphanumeric keypad at runtime. To use a numeric keypad, set the
Password and User Name Type option to Numeric Keypad.
Using a numeric keypad requires numeric user names and passwords.
Protects the application by preventing unauthorized access to edit/modify/update an application by users without the proper rights.
Design Environment Secured Create user accounts and assign rights for them to perform these actions. Design rights allow users to update the application, and
access rights allow users to view certain screens on the terminal at runtime.

Add Users You can add up to 16 user accounts to access the application at runtime. Each
account has a user name and password. The account can be an individual user
or a group of users, such as maintenance or operators, who share the same
user name and password.

Follow these steps to add user accounts to the application.

1. Select the Design Environment Secured checkbox.

2. Click Add User to create a new account.

The Security - Add User dialog appears.

Setting Description
Enter a name for the user account. User names can be 15 alphanumeric
characters with spaces and must be unique. They are not case-sensitive. For
User Name example, Operator, operator, and OPERATOR are considered the same user
name.
Enter a password for the user account. Passwords can be 15 alphanumeric
characters with spaces and are case-sensitive. For example, Operator10 and
Password operator 10 are two different passwords. Multiple users can share the same
password.
Confirm Password Repeat the password for the user account to confirm the entry.
You can specify whether the password can be modified at runtime with a Reset
Password Modifiable Password or Change Password button. Anyone can modify the password if the
user name and password are known.

3. Enter the fields in the dialog box, then click Add to close the dialog and
add the new account to the list.

Managing Users

To delete users, click a row to select it and click the Delete Selected User(s)
button. To select multiple rows, hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key and click
the desired rows. If you delete all users, then you are left with All Users* which
gives any user unrestricted access to the application.

 Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

To reset a password for any user, click the Password - Reset cell and the
Security - Reset Password dialog appears. You can enter a new password
without knowing the old password.

To rename a user, click the User cell to select it, and click again on the user
name, then type a new user name.

Assign Design Rights Design rights allows a user account to edit the application. To assign design
rights to a user account, select the checkbox under the DESIGN column for
that account.

When design rights are assigned, the next time the application is opened in
Connected Components Workbench software, a Security - Authentication
dialog appears to prompt the user to enter a user name and password.

Create Access Rights You can create up to 16 rights for an application. Rights are used to determine
the application screens that users can access at runtime.

Users can only access screens that have an access right if they have the same
right assigned to them.

You can create a right for each screen in the application and assign these rights
to users based on the screens you want them to access at runtime, or you can

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021 83

Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

create rights by job function. For example, you can assign maintenance rights
to users that need to access the maintenance screens at runtime.

IMPORTANT We recommend that you do NOT assign any rights to the Startup screen.

After creating an access right, you need to assign the right to users by clicking
the appropriate checkbox, and assign the right to one or more screens.

Follow these steps to add rights to the application and assign them to users.
1. Click the Add Right button and enter a name for the right.

2. Select the checkbox to assign the right to a user account.

Managing Rights

To delete a right, click the column header to select it and click the Delete

 Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

To rename a right, click the column header ellipses button and type a new
name.

Assign Rights to a Screen You can secure any screen in an application. To secure a screen, you assign an
access right to the screen. Any user or group who holds this access right can
access the screen at runtime by entering a user name and password. All other
users are denied access to the screen.

Each screen is limited to one access right.

Follow these steps to assign a right to a screen of your application.

1. In the Properties panel of the screen, locate the Access Rights setting
under the Screen category.

2. Click the drop-down arrow and select the right you want to assign from
the list.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021 85

Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

IMPORTANT You cannot secure a screen unless rights are defined and assigned to
users on the User Accounts screen in the Settings tab.

Changing Terminal Settings

To prevent unauthorized changing of terminal settings at runtime, such as

network configuration or the startup application, assign an access right to
screens that contain the Goto Config button.

Security at Runtime The user is prompted to enter a user name and password when logging into
the terminal, either by using the login button or when accessing a secured
screen.

If the login is successful, the user has access to the application. The application
writes the access right and user name of the logged in user to the current
access right and current user name tags.

If the user name and password are invalid, the operation is aborted and an
error message is generated.

When the user presses the logout button, the application clears the current
access right tag and current user name tag.

After logging in, the user can move between secured and unsecured screens
for which the user account has access rights. The user is not prompted to
reenter the password.

If the user moves to a secured screen that he is not authorized to access, he is

prompted to enter a user name and password. If the correct user name and
password are entered, the user is granted access. Otherwise, access is denied
and a warning message is displayed.

Idle Mode Timeout

If the application does not receive user input within the specified idle timeout,
the terminal goes into Idle mode. User input includes key presses, touch screen
presses, external mouse, or keyboard input.

If the active screen is unsecured, the screen remains active.

If the active screen is a secured screen:

• the current user is logged off.
• the current access right tag is cleared.
• the application changes to the startup screen.

86 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021

 Chapter 4 Secure the Terminal

Resetting the Terminal

After a terminal is reset, the application:

• displays the startup screen whether the last displayed screen was secured
or unsecured.
• enables security if it was previously disabled.
• retains changed passwords.
• The current user tag and current user rights tag is cleared when the
terminal resets.

Starting the Terminal in Safe Mode

If the terminal is started in safe mode, security is disabled. When the terminal
is restarted, security is enabled for the application.

Protected Mode Protected mode is a feature that enhances the security of a PanelView 800
terminal, and is available from firmware revision 3.011 onwards.

Protected mode restricts certain operations from being performed on the

terminal while it is running. This reduces the risk that the terminal may be
accessed by unauthorized persons, and disrupt the normal operations of the
terminal and other associated devices or processes.

When the terminal is in Protected mode, the following operations are blocked:
• ControlFLASH™ – Users cannot update the firmware of the terminal.
• Remote configuration change – Users cannot change the network
configuration of the terminal remotely.
• Remote reset – Users cannot reset the terminal remotely.
• Enable/disable ports – Users cannot enable or disable the
communication ports.

Protected mode is automatically disabled when an application is unloaded

successfully. When Protected mode is disabled, the operations listed above can
be then performed as normal.

IMPORTANT When a ControlFLASH operation is in progress, issuing a reset command

will not reset the terminal until after the firmware update has
completed.

The terminal automatically enters and exits Protected mode when certain
operations are performed, users do not need to configure any settings.

Virtual Network Computing

Virtual Network Computing Virtual Network Computing (VNC) allows you to remotely connect to a
(VNC) PanelView 800 terminal, either over the local network or the Internet. With
VNC you can interact with the terminal without having to be physically at the
terminal location. It transmits keyboard and mouse actions from your
computer to the terminal.

Guidelines for Using VNC

• We recommend that you enable only the view-only access to the
terminal. Enabling control access increases the security risk if the
password is compromised.
• Only one active VNC connection is supported and the terminal will reject
additional connection requests.
• For better performance when using VNC, we recommend that you use a
100 Mbps connection. Using a 10 Mbps connection may result in lower
performance, such as a slower refresh rate.
• If you are using a VNC Viewer application that supports configurable
refresh rate, set the minimum refresh rate to 500 milliseconds.
• Terminate the VNC connection before performing a firmware update as
it may interfere with the process.
• You cannot calibrate the touch screen using VNC. If you have triggered
the calibration process, you can press the “ESC” key on the keyboard to
cancel the procedure.
• The mouse action “Press and hold” is not supported over VNC.

Recommended VNC Clients There are many VNC viewer applications you can use to connect with the
and Settings terminal. These are the recommended VNC clients for use with PanelView 800
terminals.

Troubleshooting If your terminal does not startup correctly, check for adequate power, observe
the splash screen state message and status code, indicator states, or an
application that is not running during power-up.

Determine what changed since the last time the terminal ran normally and
decide if the change can be reversed.

Check for Adequate Power

A terminal that does not receive adequate power could cause unpredictable
behavior. Verify the power requirements in the Specifications table.

Interpret the LED Indicators at Startup

The PanelView 800 terminals have indicators to isolate operating problems.

They can be seen through the battery cover on the back of the unit.
• Comm indicator for communication
• Fault indicator for hardware faults

At startup, the Fault indicator is off, except for a few brief flashes, and the
Comm indicator is on. If the indicators remain off, check the power cable.
After a successful startup, both indicators are off and controlled by the
application running on the terminal.

The table shows indicator states if the terminal stops during startup.
Fault Indicator States During Startup

Returning to the Out-of-box You may want to return a terminal to the out-of-box condition to refresh the
Condition terminal or to recover from severe application misbehavior. There is a special
maintenance action that permits you to perform a complete reset and return
to the out-of-box condition for the terminal.

Returning a terminal to an out-of-box condition does not affect the terminal

firmware revision or the installed font image.

Follow these steps to return your terminal to the out-of-box condition.

1. Connect an external USB keyboard to the terminal and hold the Ctrl and
Shift keys simultaneously, while starting up the terminal.

A dialog box appears with the prompt:

Return to Out of Box Condition?

IMPORTANT Keyboards initialize at different times. If the terminal boots normally to

the configuration screen or the selected startup application, the
keyboard press was not recognized.
Restart the terminal and wait until the boot screen displays the INIT
code N1, then press and hold the Ctrl and Shift keys until the dialog box
appears.
2. Press Yes or F1 to return to the out-of-box condition, or press No or F2 to
cancel.

If you choose to return to the out-of-box condition, the terminal resets.

On the subsequent boot, the file system is formatted and removes the
contents including applications, logs, recipes, user-installed fonts,

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021 103

Chapter 6 Troubleshoot the System

objects, and graphics. Most terminal configuration parameters are

returned to their default values.

IMPORTANT Returning to the out-of-box condition does not change the current
firmware on your terminal. If you upgraded the firmware on your
terminal, the upgraded firmware revision remains unaffected. See
Firmware Installation Using Removable Storage Device on page 115 for
details on what is included in a firmware upgrade.

IMPORTANT If you have forgotten your terminal or VNC password, you can use this
procedure to restore your terminal. Remember, it will remove all
applications, logs, recipes, user-installed font files, objects, and
graphics.

Restoring the Terminal This function enables you to clear all the contents of the terminal and reset
certain settings to their default value using the Restore button. This function is
similar to returning the terminal to the out-of-box configuration.

IMPORTANT If you have forgotten your terminal or VNC password, you can use this
procedure to restore your terminal. Remember, it will remove all
applications, logs, recipes, user-installed font files, objects, and
graphics.

Appendix D Cable Connections and Communication

Either a standard Ethernet cable or crossover cables such as 2711P-CBL-EX04

can be used when connecting directly to a logic controller or switch.

Cables

The PanelView 800 terminals require category 5 twisted-pair cables. The

maximum cable length between the terminal’s Ethernet port and a 10/100
Base-T port on an Ethernet hub (without repeaters or fiber) is 100 m (328 ft). In
industrial applications, keep the cable length to a minimum.

For additional information, see the Ethernet Design Considerations reference

manual, publication ENET-RM002.

Security Considerations
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used for IPv4 multicast. A
multicast is communication between a single sender and multiple receivers on
a network. IGMP is used to exchange membership status data between IPv4
routers that support multicasting and members of multicast groups. A router
is an intermediary device on a communication network that expedites
message delivery by finding the most efficient route for a message packet
within a network, or by routing packets from one subnetwork to another. A
subnetwork is a separate part of an organization’s network identified through
IP addressing.

PanelView 800 terminals provide level 2 (full) support for IPv4 multicasting
(IGMP version 2) as described in RFC 1112 and RFC 2236.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for internal network

management and is not supported.

Ports 137 and 138 are normally open to support the NetBIOS protocol used by
Windows CE.NET similar to other Microsoft® and IBM network operating
systems.

Serial Connections The terminals have a multi-purpose serial RS-232 port that supports:
• DH-485 communication through a serial connection.
• DF1 full-duplex communication with controllers using direct
connections or modem connections.
• third-party point-to-point communication.

The serial port on the terminal is a 9-pin, male, RS-232 connector. An example
with the 1761-CBL-PM02 cable is shown here:

126 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711R-UM001H-EN-E - April 2021

USB Ports The terminals have a USB device and USB host port.

ATTENTION: The USB device port is not intended for Customer use.

WARNING: The USB host port is intended for temporary local programming
purposes only and not intended for permanent connection. The USB host port
cable is not to exceed 3.0 m (9.84 ft).

USB Host Port

You can power USB peripherals directly from the PanelView 800 terminal. If
the USB peripheral is not powered directly from the PanelView USB port
either:
• install the USB peripheral in the same enclosure as the PanelView
terminal and make sure it is connected to the same ground system.
• connect to the USB peripheral through a galvanically isolated hub.

You can use the USB host port to connect a USB Flash drive to transfer
application files, fonts, and images.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power

applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur.
This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the USB cable with power applied to

Appendix E Using PanelView 800 Terminals with CompactLogix 5370 Controllers

If the validation fails, you will not be able to run the application on the
terminal

IMPORTANT PanelView 800 applications that are configured to communicate with a

CompactLogix 5370 controller must meet the following restrictions:
The following limits apply from firmware revision 5.011 onwards
• Maximum number of CompactLogix 5370 controllers: 1
• Maximum number of Screens: 50
• Maximum number of External Tags: 400
• Maximum number of Alarms: 400
The following limits apply from firmware revision 3.011 to 4.0xx
• Maximum number of CompactLogix 5370 controllers: 1
• Maximum number of Screens: 25
• Maximum number of External Tags: 200
• Maximum number of Alarms: 150
If any one of the above restrictions are not met, the validation will
always fail. You will not be able to download and run the application on
a PanelView 800 terminal.

Download the Application To download the application to the terminal, do the following:
1. Click the Download icon in the Settings tab of the terminal.

The Connection Browser dialog box appears.

2. Select the terminal that you want to download the application to, then
click OK.

CompactLogix 5370 The atomic data types supported in CompactLogix 5370 controllers by
Controller Addressing PanelView 800 terminals are shown in the table below.

Supported Data Types

CompactLogix 5370 Data Types PanelView 800 Data Types
SINT 8-bit integer
INT 16-bit integer
DINT 32-bit integer
REAL Real (Range: -9999999...9999999)
BOOL Boolean
STRING STRING
– 8-bit unsigned integer
– 16-bit unsigned integer
– 32-bit unsigned integer

Although some of the predefined types are structures, they are ultimately
based on these atomic data types. Thus, all non-structure (atomic) members of
a structure are accessible.

For example, a TIMER cannot be assigned as a PanelView 800 tag but an

atomic member of the TIMER can be assigned to the tag (for example,
TIMER.EN, TIMER.ACC, and so forth).

If a structure member is a structure itself, both structures would have to be

expanded to access an atomic member of the substructure. This is more
common with user-defined and module-defined types and is not found in any
of the predefined types.

In summary, predefined, module-defined, and user-defined data types of the

CompactLogix 5370 controller can be accessed from PanelView 800 terminals
from their respective members, which are based on the above atomic data
types

The LINT data type is not supported in CompactLogix 5370 controllers.

During the import, the font file is transferred from a USB Flash Drive or
microSD card to the internal storage of the terminal. The transfer operation
communicates with the terminal to transfer the file.

You can use the imported font in any application on the terminal.

Fonts cannot be exported for copyright reasons.

IMPORTANT The PanelView Explorer feature is only supported on PanelView 800

terminals with firmware revision 2.020 or earlier. It is not supported
from firmware revision 3.011 onwards.
Font files cannot be imported from PanelView Explorer when using
firmware revision 3.011 or later.
