1–4 Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32
To do network downloads, you can use RSLinx drivers. RSLinx Lite
is included on floppy disks with your PanelBuilder 1400e
software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND1) or Transfer
Utility software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND7); you
must install RSLinx separately. For RSLinx installation
procedures, see the RSLinx user documentation provided. For a
complete list of hardware and driver requirements, refer to the
table in Chapter 5.
Note: For information about the ControlNet Communication
Interface Card requirements for uploading and downloading over
ControlNet, refer to the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e
Operator Terminals User Manual (Publication Number
2711E-6.17).

Remote I/O Pass-Through—Using Remote I/O Pass-Through,
you can upload application files and Alarm History files over
Remote I/O and then over DH+, ControlNet, or Ethernet.
You can download a Remote I/O application between the
PanelView terminal and computer without taking the terminal out
of Run mode or changing the terminal’s serial cabling.
Since the serial port is not used for Remote I/O Pass-Through
transfers, you can print from the PanelView terminal without
changing the serial cabling of the terminal.
To do Remote I/O Pass-Through downloads, you can use RSLinx
drivers. RSLinx is included with your Transfer Utility software
package; however, you must install RSLinx separately. Refer to
the table in Chapter 5 for a complete list of hardware and driver
requirements.
Read this section when preparing to perform an application file
transfer.
General
•
For application file transfers over ControlNet or DH+, be sure the
PanelView terminal address is correct, or for file transfers over
Remote I/O Pass-Through, be sure the terminal address and
control byte are correct; otherwise, the transfer could corrupt data
used by another device on the network, such as the PLC.
•
For application file transfers (serial or network), the
communication parameters of the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32
driver must match those being used by the PanelView terminal.
•
Do not interrupt a download by cycling power during the
operation.
