Section 1 Introduction
General
The Panel 800 operator panel is developed to satisfy the demands of humanmachine communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and controlling text,
dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.
The operator panel work, for the most part, in an object-oriented way, making it
easy to understand and use. The configuration operation of the panel is made in a
personal computer, using the configuration tool Panel Builder 800. The project is
then transferred and stored in the operator panel.
The operator panel can be connected to many types of automation equipment, such
as PLCs, servos or drives. In this manual the expression “the controller“ is used as a
general term for the connected equipment.
This manual explains how to install the operator panel. Please refer to the manual
Panel Builder 800, Programming and Installation (3BSE043445Rxxx) for further
information.
The release history of the Panel 800 is presented below.
