20–15 Terminal and Communication Setup
Publication 2711-6.0
You can convert an application from one terminal type to another
terminal. However, you may need to modify properties of the
application to make it compatible with the terminal.
Converting Application from Touch Screen to Keypad
If converting an application from a Touch (or Keypad & Touch) to a
Keypad, you must assign function key input to screen objects.
Converting Application to another Terminal Type
If converting an application to a different terminal type (for example,
900 to 600), you may need to reduce the number of objects on the
screen, adjust the location/size of objects, or change the grid spacing.
Converting Application to another Communication Protocol
If converting an application to a different communication protocol,
(for example, Remote I/O to DH-485), you must update the terminal
setup and tags appropriately.
•
update the communication parameters for the PanelView terminal
and controller in the Communication Setup dialog.
•
update the tags (address and node name) in the Tag Editor.
Converting Application from Monochrome to Color or Grayscale
If converting a monochrome application to a color or grayscale
application, the following dialog open.
Select the colors to use when converting the application.
•
background color of screen (default is black)
•
foreground color of objects (default is white)
•
background color of objects (default is black)
If the background/foreground colors of objects were reversed, the
above colors would be the opposite.
Converting Application from Color to Grayscale
If converting a color application to a grayscale application:
•
screen background is converted to black
•
colors are converted to the closest shade of gray
•
color bitmaps are converted to grayscale bitmaps
Also, text sizes are converted to the closest matching font in the new
application. You may want to resize the text.
