building program to change pages on cuttler hammer panel mate 3000

So my company goes out and buys this cuttler hammer panel mate 3000 for me to interface it with a slc 5/03 plc, and i read thourgh all of the insturctions and the one most improtant part to put program on the ladder i am confused on how to go about program it, it has you useing the move command to move one bit from a register to another to change pages on the panel mate, now i dont know how to write or pretty what they are talking about a register, i created an another interger holding bit or somthing like that, and went into the data table and set it up to hold three different numbers but i am really now sure if i am doing anything correctly and there is really nothing written down that can help me.... if any one can lend me a hand that would be awesome... thanx steve

We use Panelmate 2000's and 4000's, I'm assuming that a 3000 would program the same. The only reason I can see to use the PLC to CHANGE screens is maybe an Important alarm. Even that, I wouldn't want to be pressing buttons and have it revert to another screen. Is this something that has been requested?

In your PanelMate software, look at the 'System Parameters'. Under the 'Remote' tab, look at the 'Page Change Register'. Enter the address where you want the PM to write the page it is currently displaying (to PLC) and the address where it should look to determine which page the ladder logic wants it to display (from PLC). The PM is looking for an integer, so an N7 address is the typical choice.

In your ladder logic, when you want the PM to display a specific page, simply put that page number into the 'from PLC' N7 address. The PM constantly monitors that address and when it detects a change in the value, it jumps to that page. One important consideration: If the operator has selected a control button, and might be in the process of changing a value, the PM will not jump to the commanded page until you touch the 'CANCEL' button (or until after the automatic timeout period).
