Chapter 8 Create the Runtime Application

Run the Application

You are now ready to validate the runtime application on the

PanelView Plus terminal to make sure that it will not exceed the

memory usage requirements of the terminal. The global connections

you configured earlier will let you monitor memory performance of

the terminal.

1. Press Run Application or the

[F2] function key on the

terminal to run the currently

loaded application.

2. Cycle through all the

runtime displays

continuously.

As you cycle through each display, tags are activated and cached into

memory. If you receive out of memory errors or warnings, your

application may be consuming too much memory. You can do one of

two things.

• Modify your application to decrease memory usage.

• Move the application to a PC-based platform such as an

industrial computer.

IMPORTANT

If your application is not communicating to the controller:

• Check all cable connections.

• Verify that the Target tab in RSLinx Enterprise Communication Setup

is configured correctly.

IMPORTANT

Cycle through all displays three to five times to get an average

of how much memory your application is consuming. Memory

usage will increase somewhat because of data logging, alarms

and other features that log to a file.
