PanelView 1000e or 1400e application to the PanelView Plus platform.

Application reuse?
Do you need to reuse your PanelView 1000e or 1400e
application and PLC ladder logic? If so, you can convert your
application for a PanelView Plus terminal using FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition (ME) software. The application and PLC
ladder logic may require updates because some objects or
features may not directly migrate to FactoryTalk View ME
software.
If you do not want to reuse your current application but instead
create a new one with FactoryTalk View ME software, you can
stop here.

Use multiple RIO racks?
Does your application require more than one rack of discrete
Remote I/O? The PanelView Plus terminals support multiple
racks of discrete Remote I/O, depending on the scanner type.
Require relay or beeper?
Does your application use a built-in alarm relay or beeper? The
PanelView Plus terminals do not support a built-in alarm relay
or beeper. However, you can use an external alarm relay.
