Hi

For the newer PanelView Plus models, the application developer is highly encouraged to embed a "GoTo Configure Mode" button to allow for access to jump out of a running program and get to configuration.  Developers will often hide this button behind a password protected maintenance screen (or forget to add it all together).  This is Plan A.

When the PV Plus 400 is powered up, there should be a WHITE box in the lower corner of the screen, lower-left.  Press this white box, which is only displayed for a few seconds after boot-up, to go into configuration mode.  This is Plan B.   Refer to page 218.  http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/2711p-um001_-en-p.pdf

With the production process stopped, pull the HMI power plug and reseat to trigger a reboot.  Be ready to reach around front and press the white box during reboot.

My pv plus 400 is a keypad HMI. There is no possibility to touch the screen. and also there is no white box will come during boot up. Then how do i go to configuration mode??

Startup Error 31 => refer to page 24, Function Key Failure.  http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/in/2711p-in002_-en-p.pdf

Have you experimented with how long you press the F1 key during startup?  You may be leaving depressed too long - PRESS F1 key during startup, do not HOLD F1 key during startup.
