Hi,
Does anybody know if you can change the screen saver image from the plain AB symbol on a panel view plus 1000 (keypad) and if so how to do it, I imagine this would be done using RSView studio machine edition to which i am using release No 4 (CPR 7).

Many Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can not change the screen saver on a PanelView Plus. Allen-Bradley designed the panel as a closed system, meaning that a user cannot install other software, ActiveX controls, etc. on the panel.

I know that you can disable the screen saver image, but then you would just get a dark screen for the PanelView Plus, which could make it look like the panel has been powered down.

Actually, you can change the screen saver bitmap. Follow the directions from this knowledgebase.

Thanks for the info, Firetubes. I looked in the Knowbase, but somehow missed that one! (Also, most of my work was done with the earlier versions of the PV+).

You learn something new every day...
