Convert expressions
Some PanelBuilder 1400e expression syntax is not supported in FactoryTalk View.
Expressions are converted without modification, and then turned off by placing warning
text at the beginning of the first line of the expression. In addition, exclamation marks (!)
are placed at the beginning of each subsequent line of the expression. Warming text is also
placed in expressions assigned to alarm triggers in the Alarm Setup editor. To turn on the
expression, you must remove the warning text and exclamation marks, and revise the
syntax if necessary.
The maximum expression length in FactoryTalk View is 16,000 characters. If a
PanelBuilder 1400e expression contains more than 16,000 characters, the excess
characters are not converted.
Trend Blinking pens
Date labels on the X-Axis
Background screen plotting
The date is shown in the title.
You can plot tag values in the background by assigning
the tags to a data log model. Tags set up for background
screen plotting are automatically assigned to a data log
model on conversion. However, data log models do not
plot expression values. Therefore, expressions set up for
background screen plotting are not converted.
For information about data logging, see Chapter 26.
All objects PanelBuilder 1400e object name Object names are replaced with the FactoryTalk View
default object names. The PanelBuilder 1400e object
name is used for the object’s description. You can view
and edit the name and description in the Property Panel.
For details, see Help.
All objects Caption and image placement FactoryTalk View supports one, three, or nine positions
for captions and images, depending on the type of object.
On conversion, captions and images are positioned using
the closest match. Therefore some captions might
overlap images, some captions might be truncated, and
some images might be clipped to fit the object.
All objects Multiple image labels FactoryTalk View supports one image label per object or
state. If a PanelBuilder 1400e object is set up to use
multiple image labels, only the top left image is
converted.
