To add a new screen to your PV project just right click on "screen" in the project tree and double click on new.

To control the screen number thru the PLC see picture below on how to use the Control Tags for screen control.

Your new screen will have a number next to it, in my post above screen #1 ( Alarms). Create a tag ( see my post number 2) polling an integer within your PLC, by putting a value of 1 in that register the PV will poll that register and call up screen 1. You will have to put a zero in that register to release control back to an operator so he/she can change screens manually again.

several questions for you.

#1 what is the firmware / series of the panelview you have.

#2 what is the panelview programming software you have?
part number and version.

#3 what is the plc you are trying to connect to?

#4 what is the plc programming software you have.

#5 what interface cables do you have for the panelview and plc?

this will help us with your solution.

Before you tried to download the program did you change the catalog & revision numbers?

You probably would have gotten the error about memory usage when you changed the cat number.

The only thing I can think of for reducing memory size is to cut down on graphics in your screens if possible.

Version 1.07 was the very first release of the PanelView 550.

It was, at the time, very popular. But it had a smaller memory size, which RA increased a few years later.

You'll find that any version 1.07 firmware PanelView 550 will forever be at 1.07; they do not have enough memory to be upgraded.

It was possible to configure PanelBuilder32 to remove some of the information from the project to reduce the project size. This has the side-effect of making the application file non-uploadable.

But that was in 1995, and it involved using version 2.60 of PanelBuilder32.

I recommend removing any unused text or graphics from the application, or getting a v2.x or newer terminal.

If you want to try to use the very old software method, it's described in the RA Knowledgebase:
