Data Types

Block Tags

Block tags monitor alarms in PanelBuilder 1400e
applications and are converted to bit arrays. An error
is recorded in the conversion log.

Analog Tags with One Bit Length

PanelBuilder 1400e analog tags that are one bit in
length (0 is min, 1 is max) convert to analog tags in
FactoryTalk View ME software, but the value is
0 and -1 (all bits off, all bits on). This feature is
typically used for indicator objects with two states.
In a FactoryTalk View application, this results in an
incorrect state. Change analog tags to bit data types.

Important: No message appears in the conversion
log. Modify any analog tags that are one bit in
length.

File Transfers

Transfer Inhibit

These three controls are not necessary in FactoryTalk
View ME software because the transfer utility lets
you transfer the runtime project file while running a
project on the runtime terminal.
