•
Do not try to download application files from two development
computers to the same location at the same time. Results are
unpredictable.
•
The PanelView terminal ignores all operator inputs and PLC
outputs during the download. The current application screen is
removed and the Transfer screen and progress bar are displayed.
•
The rack assignments (for Remote I/O applications) or terminal
network address (for DH+, ControlNet, and Ethernet) remain as
they were set for the previous current application until the
download is complete.
For PanelView 1200 Terminal Transfers
When you upload an application from the PanelView 1200 terminal
using the PanelView 1200 Transfer Utility, the current values for the
object addresses are uploaded. Refer to the PanelView 1200 Transfer
Utility User Manual (Publication Number 2711-811) for more
information.
For PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e Terminals Transfers
•
Before you download to PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e
terminals, check the size of the application file (the .pvd file) to
make sure it will fit in the terminal’s memory or on the PCMCIA
memory card. For more information, refer to Chapter 3, Working
with Applications in the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration
Software for Windows User Manual (Publication Number
2711E-819).

1200e, or 1400e terminals using the PanelView 1200/1400e
Transfer Utility, the initial tag values of the application are
uploaded, not its current values.
