Hello everyone. A customer called me and said he had a power outage and when his PanelViewPlus600 powered back on, it was on the configuration screen. So, they loaded the application and ran it. A few minutes later while they were navigating through the application trying to start the machine back up, it switched to the config screen again without warning.
There is only one "Goto configuration screen button" in the application and it was never pressed. The button isn't even on the same screen they were currently operating. They have had many outages in the past and this has never been an issue; the application always runs on power up. But what bothers me most is the terminal switching to the config screen while in operation.
I am thinking maybe a hardware issue; possible damage as a result of the power outage (could have spiked, brown out, etc). Another piece of info is that I just upgraded the firmware on this terminal a few weeks ago from 3.1 to 3.2 to make some changes. Maybe an issue with the firmware?
Anyone have any comments, ideas, or other possible explanations. Thanks for your input.
