5–4 Configuring PanelView Terminals

There are two types of transfers:
•
Downloading
Ċtransferring a completed application from the
development computer to a terminal so the application can be run.
•
Uploading
Ċtransferring an existing application from a terminal
to the development computer so the application can be edited or
backed up.
Most application file transfers are controlled in PanelBuilder
software. The exception is a memory card transfer, whereby you
copy an application file to or from a PCMCIA memory card in the
terminal’s PCMCIA socket.
Methods of transferring application files between the terminal and
development computer and vice versa, are as follows:
•
upload or download an application file using the
Upload/Download cable connecting the RS-232 ports of the
computer and terminal. This is a serial file transfer.
•
upload or download the application file over a DH+ network.
This is a DH+ direct file transfer.
•
upload or download the application file over a ControlNet
network. This is a ControlNet direct file transfer.
•
upload or download the application file over DH+ and Remote
I/O networks, using the PLC-5 or SLC 5/04 Pass-Through
feature.
•
upload or download the application file over ControlNet and
Remote I/O networks, using the PLC-5C Pass-Through feature.
•
upload or download the application file over Ethernet, using the
Remote I/O Pass-Through feature.
Downloading using the Pass-Through, DH+ direct, or ControlNet
direct feature requires configuration in PanelBuilder 1400e
Configuration Software and in the Transfer Setup screen so the
network information and the PLC/SLC location on the network are
correct. For more information, refer to the PanelView e Transfer
Utility User Manual, or the section Pass-Through Application File
Transfers later in this chapter.
Tip: Use the new PLC Programming software (Who Active
command) to verify the terminal or PLC location on the DH+ or
ControlNet network. The PLC Programming software identifies the
terminal as PVe.
Important: You may need to do the following before you initiate an
application file transfer:
