1–8 Introducing PanelBuilder 1400e
Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998
PanelBuilder 1400e, Version 4 provides expanded hardware support
to allow you to create applications for a wider variety of
environments, terminals, and networks.
Windows NT Compatibility
PanelBuilder 1400e Version 4 has been enhanced to run on a 32-bit
operating system, specifically Windows NT 4.0. However,
PanelBuilder 1400e, a 16-bit application, may still run on the 16-bit
platforms (Windows 3.1 or later, and Windows 95).
ControlNet Station Addressing
With PanelBuilder Version 4, you can now assign station addresses
from 1 to 99 on ControlNet. Previously, you could only assign
addresses above 63 using the terminal network setup screen at the
PanelView terminal.
Ethernet Pass-Through
Network users can now download or upload PanelBuilder 1400e
applications over an Ethernet network to a PanelView terminal on a
Remote I/O network. With the installation of an Ethernet network
card, you can now develop your PanelBuilder applications program
on a PC connected to an Ethernet network, and then download or
upload the applications to your PanelView terminals operating on a
Remote I/O network.
The Ethernet network card utilizes the PLC-5 (Enhanced) as a
pass-through device, enabling you to download your application to
the PanelView terminal.
