Posted 1 Sep 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 5 Sep 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
