Communications (RIO) Passthrough Downloads Use an Ethernet connection or a CompactFlash card
to transfer files.
Remote I/O Connector Wiring The Remote I/O connector wiring for the PanelView
Plus terminal is reversed from the PanelView 1000e
and 1400e terminals.
Remote I/O Tag with Blank Address Remote I/O tags with blank addresses are converted
to HMI memory tags. An error is recorded in the
conversion log.
Data Types Bit Position If a bit position data type does not reference a single
bit, it is converted to an HMI memory tag. An error is
recorded in the conversion log.
•
Create an expression to isolate the bits used to
drive the state of the display object, such as a
multistate indicator.
For information on how to implement this
workaround, refer to page 80.
•
For write objects, such as push buttons, there is
no workaround except to change the ladder logic.
•
For Remote I/O, you may need to change the
Rack/Block Transfer configuration.
•
For DH+ and ControlNet, unscheduled tags with
the bit position data type are converted to HMI
analog tags with a data type of default.
Binary A binary tag is converted to an HMI memory tag if it
does not reference:
•
a single bit.
•
a single word.
•
a length or range of 8 or 16 bits and does not
start at an offset of 0 or 8 (SLC controller) or 10
(PLC-5 controller).
An error is recorded in the conversion log.
•
Create an expression to isolate the bits used to
drive the state of display object, such as a
multistate indicator.
•
For write objects such as push buttons, there is
no workaround.
BCD BCD data types are not supported: 1-BCD, 2-BCD,
5-BCD, 6-BCD, 7-BCD, 8-BCD.
Tags that use this data type are converted to analog
tags with the default data type. The default data
type uses floating point values.
Byte If the byte address does not have a bit offset of 0 or
8, it is converted to an HMI memory tag. The error is
recorded in the conversion log
