Fortunately, in version 3.20.09 Rockwell added a “boot up sequence” interrupt that allows users to bypass the launching of the default project.
When units with the newer firmware are turned on, the user can either press a small “White Box” on the bottom left of a touch screen terminal, or presses the “F1 Key” on a keypad terminal, to force the PVPlus to boot to the “Configuration Mode.”
With how to access the “Configuration Mode” explained above, tomorrow we'll talk about what to do if the “White Box” doesn't show up on boot, or if the “F1 Key” on a keypad unit doesn't launch the “Configuration Mode.”
Until then, if you've ever been locked out of your PanelView Plus, or had to use one of the above strategies to get back into the “Configuration Mode,” we'd love to hear from you.
