Start-up Options
The terminal can perform one of three actions at startup:
• Launch a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI application.
• Launch FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station in Configuration
mode. This mode lets you configure terminal settings and start-up
options, load applications to run, and so on.
• Launch the Windows desktop (available on Series A terminals only).
The factory default state and start-up option following a firmware update is to
launch the terminal in Configuration mode. See Configure Start-up Options
on page 84 for details on how to change the start-up option.
For a list of actions you can perform using touch gestures, see the FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition help.
EtherNet/IP Communication
The PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals use an EtherNet/IP embedded
switch. These terminals communicate with ControlLogix and CompactLogix
controllers over an Ethernet connection with DLR, linear, or star network
topologies.
The terminals can reside on EtherNet/IP networks that run integrated motion
and CIP Sync™ applications without affecting performance. The terminal is not
a consumer or producer of CIP Sync or motion packets.
Typical Configuration
Traditional DLR, linear, and star network topologies are supported. See these
topics for examples:
• Device Level Ring Network Topology
on page 48
• Linear Network Topology on page 49
• Star Network Topology on page 50
