Foreword
Achieving success with the PanelMate 500
Congratulations on your purchase of the PanelMate 500 electronic operator station!
Now that you have received your software and hardware, it’s time to determine how to
setup your operator station and put it into service.
SUCCESS - AND QUICKLY! We know that’s what every user wants and expects. You’ve
started at the right place: by opening this “Getting Started” manual. We know how most
people dislike reading volumes of material. So, if you’ll just follow the steps outlined in this
ONE booklet, you’ll be able to get a simple operator interface running with your PLC or
network in just a few hours.
We’ve provided several handy tools to help you “get to know” PanelMate 500. They are
further detailed in the pages ahead, but include:
* an overview of PanelMate 500 which you can run on your PC like a
slide show, using a built-in viewer
* a simulation built into every PanelMate 500 online unit
* a more detailed demonstration which can be loaded into the online unit
* a set of simple startup configurations that lets you verify communication
with many of the most common small PLCs

•How you can view an overview of PanelMate 500, presented using a Microsoft tool
called PowerPoint
•PanelMate 500 theory of operation
•How the PanelMate 500 relates to the PanelMate family
1-2Overview of the PanelMate 500
Congratulations on beginning with the Getting Started manual as the place to get familiar
with PanelMate 500. Have you glanced at the Foreword section a few pages back? It
highlights the other documents you get with PanelMate 500, and provides handy phone
numbers you may want.
We recommend that you first take 20 minutes to look at the PowerPoint-based overview
described in the next section. It’s well worth the time, as a way to get the who, what,
where, when and why of PanelMate 500.
How to See a Great Overview of PanelMate 500
Included with your configuration software is a separate group of 3 diskettes as shown
below. When transferred to your PC, the file on the Overview diskette permits you to view
a colorful and informative “slide presentation” about PanelMate 500, presented with a
Microsoft tool called PowerPoint. If you do not have PowerPoint installed on your
Windows-based PC, a copy of the PowerPoint slide “viewer” is provided for your
convenience. One of the diskettes is labeled “Examples”, and contains files which are
referenced in the Appendix and in the Virtual Mentor Users Guide.
Here are the contents of the diskette pack:
Diskette Label File Contents Description
PowerPoint Viewer pptview.exe “slide show” viewer software
pptview.dll
Overview over1.ppt PowerPoint-based overview
of PanelMate 500
Examples (various files) communication startup files and
sample configurations
Overview of the PanelMate 500 1-3
How to load the files to your PC and watch the “slide show”
overview:
1. Within the Windows Program Manager of your PC, select the File Manager.
2. If you already have Microsoft PowerPoint software installed on your PC, skip to step
#3. If you do not have PowerPoint already on your PC, insert the furnished
PowerPoint Viewer disk in your PC’s floppy disk drive. Use the File Manager to copy
both the pptview.dll and pptview.exe files into a directory of your choice in your PC
environment.
3. Insert the Overview disk into your PC’s floppy disk drive. Use the File Manager to
copy the over1.ppt PowerPoint file into the same directory into which you copied the
Viewer in previous step #2. If you skipped step #2 because you already have
PowerPoint on your PC, then copy the PowerPoint files into an appropriate directory of
your choice.
4. If you already have PowerPoint present on your PC, please enter PowerPoint and use
the slide show feature to view your just-loaded over1.ppt file. If you do not have
PowerPoint on your PC, proceed to step 5, to use the viewer you just loaded.
5. From your File Manager, double click on the PowerPoint Viewer file, pptview.exe.
When the screen presents you with a directory listing, double click on the file over1.ppt
to start your slide show.
