Convert RIO communications
You can use Remote I/O (RIO) communications on the PanelView Plus, and PanelView
Plus CE run-time platforms.
To convert an RIO application from PanelBuilder 1400e to
FactoryTalk View
1. Convert the application, as described on page A-2.
2. Open the RSLinx Enterprise data server, and then double-click Communication
Setup.
3. In the Communication Setup editor, add an RIO driver.
 For PanelView Plus 400 and 600 terminals, use the 2711P-RN1 driver.
 For all other PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE terminals, use the 2711P-RN6
driver.
For information about adding drivers in RSLinx, see RSLinx Help.
4. Expand the RIO tree, right-click RIO Data, and then click Configure RIO.
5. In the RIO Configuration dialog box, right-click RIO, and then click Import.
For PanelView Plus 7 and PanelView Plus 6 terminals, you need a third party RIO to Ethernet
gateway module for RIO communications. For more information, see Answer ID 490889 in
Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase.
RIO communications are not supported for the applications that run on a personal computer.
However, you can test run your RIO applications on the development computer.
