If the Inhibit bit is set, a message will appear on the status line. You can
cancel the transfer by pressing
ESC , or you can wait for the Inhibit bit to
clear.
A message informs you if the application file in the PanelView 1200
terminal is newer than the one on disk. If you wish, you can cancel the
download.
The status line on your computer indicates whether the download is
progressing. An information message appears on the screen when the
download is complete.
Important After you download a large file to a terminal that has a 128K
EEPROM installed, it can take up to 40 seconds for the application file to
be loaded into the EEPROM. The Transfer Utility will show the download
as completed, but the message “Transmitting...” continues to flash on the
PanelView 1200 screen while the application file is loaded into the
EEPROM. Wait for at least a minute after the download is reported as
completed before you attempt to use the terminal.
When the download is complete, the PanelView 1200 terminal will return
to Run mode either automatically or when the operator restarts it,
depending on how the terminal’s Auto Restart was configured.
If the download is unsuccessful see Appendix A, Troubleshooting.
To upload an application file, both the PanelView 1200 terminal and the
PLC-5 must be active on the network and in Run mode. Unlike download,
the terminal will continue to function in Run mode throughout the upload.
To upload an application file from the PanelView 1200 terminal over the
Data Highway Plus you must follow these steps:
1 Define the PanelView location data. You can either load it from an
existing application file or configure it manually.
2 Define the programming terminal configuration.
3 Upload the files into the desired directory, under the desired name.
Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for detailed instructions on
each of these steps.
