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. Also, you
can print from the PanelView terminal without changing the serial
cabling of the terminal.

Remote I/O Pass-Through downloads, you must 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.

General
•
For file transfers over ControlNet, DH+, or Remote I/O
Pass-Through, be sure the PanelView terminal address and
control byte is correct, otherwise the transfer could corrupt the
PLC logic.
•
For all direct transfers (serial or network direct), the
communication parameters of the PanelView 1200/1400e
Transfer Utility driver must match those being used by the
PanelView terminal.
•
Do not interrupt a download by cycling power during the
operation.
