Note: The development computer doesn’t need to be connected to
the controller or the PanelView terminal to run the process. It must
be connected only when you’re installing or upgrading firmware in
the PanelView terminal, using the PanelView Serial Firmware
Upgrade Utility, or when downloading or uploading the application
serially. To upload or download the application you can also install
the PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility on a portable computer,
transfer the application to the portable computer, and then upload or
download it from the portable computer. See the PanelView
1200/1400e Transfer Utility User Manual for details. For
information about installing or upgrading the terminal’s firmware,
see Chapter 7, “Configuring the PanelView Terminal for Modbus
Communications,” in this manual, or see the Readme file on the
PanelView Serial Firmware Upgrade Utility diskette.
