Rockwell Automation 2711E-ND7 PanelView File Transfer Utility User Manual - Manual (Page 13)

1–5 Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32
•
Do not try to download application files from two development
computers to the same location at the same time. Results are
unpredictable.
•
During the download, the PanelView terminal ignores all operator
inputs and PLC outputs. 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+ and ControlNet) remain as they were
set for the previous current application until the download is
complete.
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
ensure 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).
•
When you upload an application from the PanelView 1000e,
1200e, or 1400e terminals using the PanelView e Transfer
Utility 32, the initial tag values of the application are uploaded,
not the application’s current values.
•
When you upload an application from the PanelView 1000e,
1200e, or 1400e terminals to edit it in PanelBuilder, many of the
following items that were originally in the downloaded
application are not uploaded:
•
unused nodes
•
unused scan classes
•
unused tags
•
unused tag folders
•
unused graphic images
•
tag descriptions
•
variable names
•
comments in expressions
•
unused scheduled files
•
When the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 uploads an application
file, it creates a *.pvd file. PanelBuilder can open the *.pvd file to
create a *.pvc file. When *.pvd files are opened in PanelBuilder,
the *.pvd files are always regenerated as *.pvc files with a private
tag database.
