The Transfer Utility’s main download/upload dialog box is displayed automatically. " Note: PanelBuilder software does not need to be installed in order to do file transfers. You need only PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 and a PanelView application file saved in a .pvd format. Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 1–3 Types of Applications You can transfer terminal application files, whose names end in .pvd, using the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32. The *.pvd files are created in PanelBuilder 1400e for Windows. Files are initially created and edited as *.pvc. You then must save the file as a *.pvd to download it. These are PanelView enhanced 1200 (Series F and later) and 1000e/1200e/1400e terminal files. Types of Transfers The PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 does the following types of transfers: • downloading an application file—Transferring an application file from the development computer to a PanelView terminal so the application can be run. PanelView enhanced 1200 (Series F and later) and PanelView 1000e/1200e/1400e applications can be downloaded. • uploading an application file—Transferring an application file from the PanelView terminal to the development computer that the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 is on so the application can be edited or archived. PanelView enhanced 1200 (Series F and later) and PanelView 1000e/1200e/1400e applications can be uploaded. • uploading alarm history files—Transferring the Alarm History File from the PanelView terminal to the development computer so the files can be analyzed or archived. Only PanelView enhanced 1200 (Series F and later) and 1000e/1200e/1400e V02.00.00 and later Alarm History files can be uploaded. Methods of Downloading and Uploading Applications and Alarm History Files There are three methods for downloading and uploading applications and alarm history files: • Serial (RS-232) Upload/Download—To transfer applications serially, you need an RS-232 Serial (Upload/Download) cable (A-B Cat. no. 2706-NC13, 2711-NC13, or 2711-NC14 for PanelView 1000e/1400e Series F and later terminals; 2711-NC1 for PanelView 1200e/1400e terminals Series E and earlier),for connecting the computer to the terminal. Alarm History files directly by connecting the serial ports on the computer and PanelView terminal. This is a serial file transfer. • Network Upload/Download—You can upload applications or Alarm History files once you have connected the PanelView terminal and computer to the DH+ or ControlNet network. You can download applications between the computer running the Transfer Utility and the PanelView terminal over the DH+ or ControlNet network without taking the terminal out of Run mode. Since the serial port is not used for network transfers, you can print from the PanelView terminal without changing the serial cabling of the terminal. 1–4 Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 To do network downloads, you can use RSLinx drivers. RSLinx Lite is included on floppy disks with your PanelBuilder 1400e software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND1) or Transfer Utility software package (A-B Catalog Number 2711E-ND7); you must install RSLinx separately. For RSLinx installation procedures, see the RSLinx user documentation provided. For a complete list of hardware and driver requirements, refer to the table in Chapter 5. " Note: For information about the ControlNet Communication Interface Card requirements for uploading and downloading over ControlNet, refer to the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, and 1400e Operator Terminals User Manual (Publication Number 2711E-6.17). • Remote I/O Pass-Through—Using Remote I/O Pass-Through, you can upload application files and Alarm History files over Remote I/O and then over DH+, ControlNet, or Ethernet. You can download a Remote I/O application between the PanelView terminal and computer without taking the terminal out of Run mode or changing the terminal’s serial cabling. Since the serial port is not used for Remote I/O Pass-Through transfers, you can print from the PanelView terminal without changing the serial cabling of the terminal. To do Remote I/O Pass-Through downloads, you can use RSLinx drivers. RSLinx is included with your Transfer Utility software package; however, you must install RSLinx separately. Refer to the table in Chapter 5 for a complete list of hardware and driver requirements. File Transfer Tips Read this section when preparing to perform an application file transfer. General • For application file transfers over ControlNet or DH+, be sure the PanelView terminal address is correct, or for file transfers over Remote I/O Pass-Through, be sure the terminal address and control byte are correct; otherwise, the transfer could corrupt data used by another device on the network, such as the PLC. • For application file transfers (serial or network), the communication parameters of the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 driver must match those being used by the PanelView terminal. • Do not interrupt a download by cycling power during the operation. Introducing the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 1–5 • Do not try to download application files from two development computers to the same location at the same time. Results are unpredictable. • During the download, the PanelView terminal ignores all operator inputs and PLC outputs. The current application screen is removed and the Transfer screen and progress bar are displayed. • The rack assignments (for Remote I/O applications) or terminal network address (for DH+ and ControlNet) remain as they were set for the previous current application until the download is complete. For PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e Terminals Transfers • Before you download to PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminals, check the size of the application file (the .pvd file) to ensure it will fit in the terminal’s memory or on the PCMCIA memory card. For more information, refer to Chapter 3, Working with Applications in the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows User Manual (Publication Number 2711E-819). • When you upload an application from the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminals using the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32, the initial tag values of the application are uploaded, not the application’s current values. • When you upload an application from the PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e terminals to edit it in PanelBuilder, many of the following items that were originally in the downloaded application are not uploaded: • unused nodes • unused scan classes • unused tags • unused tag folders • unused graphic images • tag descriptions • variable names • comments in expressions • unused scheduled files • When the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 uploads an application file, it creates a *.pvd file. PanelBuilder can open the *.pvd file to create a *.pvc file. When *.pvd files are opened in PanelBuilder, the *.pvd files are always regenerated as *.pvc files with a private tag database. 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.

Appendix A Constructing the Transfer Path This appendix explains how to construct the transfer path in the PanelView e Transfer Utility 32 for network and Remote I/O Pass-Through file transfers. This appendix explains the different transfer path formats, if you are entering the transfer path manually. ControlNet Addressing Local Station Addressing: For a development computer connected to the same ControlNet network as the PanelView terminal, valid station numbers are between 1 and 99 decimal. Logix55xx Addressing: For a Logix55xx connected to a PanelView terminal on a ControlNet network, valid station numbers are: Station Address Valid Entries ll,b,ss address of CNB module (for CNet applications) 1 – 99 (decimal) b backplane address 1 ss slot number of Logix55xx Processor depends on chassis size ll DH+ Addressing Local Station Addressing: For a development computer connected to the same DH+ network as the PanelView terminal, valid transfer paths are between 0 and 77 octal. Logix55xx Addressing: For a Logix55xx connected to a PanelView terminal on a DH+ network, valid station numbers are between 0 and 77 octal. Remote Station Addressing: A development computer can communicate with PanelView terminals on remote DH+ networks. Remote DH+ networks can be bridged by a 1785-KA interface module or by a Pyramid Integrator that has an RM or KA module. A–2 Constructing the Transfer Path DH+ Networks Bridged by a 1785-KA The format of the transfer path on remote DH+ networks is: Transfer Path Format Valid Entries ll.rrr.ss ll local KA address 0 – 77 (octal) rrr remote KA address 0 – 376 (octal) ss PanelView address on remote DH+ 0 – 77 (octal) or You can shorten the offlink address by combining the remote KA address and remote transfer path into one three-digit number. The system reads only the first digit of the remote KA address, and adds the two-digit remote PanelView address to produce a shorter address. ll.rss ll rss local bridge address 0 – 77 (octal) combined remote KA address and remote PanelView address 0 – 376 (octal) The following figure shows a development computer connected to a DH+ network. The local DH+ network is bridged to a remote DH network, which is bridged to a second remote DH+ network. The 1785-KA interface modules are used to bridge the networks.
