Steps to take in PanelBuilder 1400e before you convert the
application
1. Delete the Pass-Through file assignment. FactoryTalk View Studio does not support
pass-through file transfers.
2. Make sure the block transfer file numbers are sequential without gaps. If necessary,
renumber the block transfer file numbers so there are no missing numbers. Tag
addresses in the application will change automatically to match the new number.
3. Save the application.
You can convert the PanelBuilder 1400e application when you open FactoryTalk View
Studio, or once FactoryTalk View Studio is already open.
To convert a PanelBuilder 1400e application when you open
FactoryTalk View Studio
1. Open FactoryTalk View Studio.
2. In the New tab, in the Application name box, type a name for your converted
application, up to 32 characters long.
3. If desired, type a description of the application.
If the PanelBuilder 1400e application contains an Application File Comment, the
Application File Comment will overwrite the description you type here. You can add
or change the description later, as described on page 4-18.
4. Specify a language for the converted application. For information about using
different languages, see Chapter 12.
5. Click Import.
