Version 3.0.1

Configuring the PassĆThrough Parameters

Before performing a file transfer with the Pass-Through feature, the
appropriate parameters must be configured in both PanelBuilder and
PanelView.

IMPORTANT: As soon as any of the Pass-Through parameters are
configured, the application file becomes compatible with terminals with
version 3.0 or later firmware. The file cannot be downloaded to earlier
version terminals.

Once a valid file exists in the terminal, you can download to the same
address via the Pass-Through feature. Alternately, you can configure the
pass-through address at the terminal to match the application file’s
pass-through address.

Some parameters are saved in the application file. Some are configured
through the Transfer window just before the download. One parameter is
set in the PanelView terminal.

There are two groups of addresses to configure in the application file, the
Pass-Through Download bits and the PanelView location data.

The Pass-Through Download Bits

The Pass-Through Download Bits are optional, but are strongly
recommended. They are:

the

PLC Inhibit Bit. When this bit is set (to 1), PanelView will not

permit a download. This bit must be reset by the PLC.

the

Pass-Through Request Bit. This bit is set (to 1) by PanelView

when a download request is received. It is cleared (reset to 0) once the
actual download starts.
