1–6 Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32
PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 and RSLinx
The Transfer Utility supports RSLinx network drivers. RSLinx Lite,
Version 2.0 or later, is included with your PanelBuilder 1400e
software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND1) or Transfer
Utility software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND7). The
PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 supports a subset of the RSLinx
drivers which are used by DH+ or ControlNet. You can use these
drivers to transfer files over DH+, ControlNet, Remote I/O
Pass-Through, or serial connection networks. For more information,
refer to the RSLinx user documentation.
If you use RSLinx drivers, install them before setting up
communications for application file transfers. The PanelView e
Transfer Utility 32 displays the RSLinx drivers as driver options, but
you can use them only if they are installed. Make sure the driver you
select is configured correctly for the communication device and
settings. You can open the RSLinx configuration utility from the
Transfer Utility to configure the selected driver.
PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility and INTERCHANGE
The PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility Version 3 supports the full range
of INTERCHANGE serial and network drivers. The
INTERCHANGE drivers allow ports and communication devices to
be shared between PanelBuilder and other Allen-Bradley products
such as the 6200-series PLC-5 Programming Software and
PanelBuilder 900. INTERCHANGE drivers also support
communication cards such as the KT and PCMK for DH+
communication. Contact your Allen-Bradley representative for more
information on INTERCHANGE.
To use the INTERCHANGE drivers, install INTERCHANGE before
setting up file transfer communications. The transfer utility displays
the INTERCHANGE drivers as driver options, but you can use them
only if INTERCHANGE is installed. The driver options
INTERCHANGE Port 1 to INTERCHANGE Port 8 map to the eight
ports supported by INTERCHANGE.
If you have INTERCHANGE Version 6.1.0 or later, you can select
one of these options and call up the INTERCHANGE Device
Configuration Utility from the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer
Utility. From the configuration utility you can view and change the
configuration of any of the eight INTERCHANGE ports. Make sure
the port you select for your driver is configured correctly for the
communication device and settings. Refer to the INTERCHANGE
Device Configuration Utility user documentation for information on
using the utility.
