Completing the Download
Once you have configured the parameters on the PanelView 1200 terminal
and on your computer, and have established the PanelView location data,
you’re ready to begin downloading.
If your PanelView 1200 terminal’s Address Source is Manual, ensure that
the terminal is communicating with the PLC controller. The message “PLC
communication lost” should not appear on the terminal when it is in Run
mode.
Important Don’t try to download application files from two development
computers to the same location via the Pass-Through at the same time.
Results are unpredictable. The first download will be terminated, but the
second download may or may not be completed successfully.
Note The PanelView 1200 terminal ignores all operator and PLC inputs
and outputs during the download. The rack assignments and PLC status
will remain as per the previous application until the download is complete.

1 Ensure that both the PLC controller and the PanelView 1200 terminal
are active on the network and in RUN mode.

correct for your network.
