Things to Know Before You Migrate

Introduction This chapter covers important considerations and helpful things to know
before migrating a PanelView™ Standard application to a PanelView Plus 7
platform.

The table covers important considerations when migrating an application.

Table 1 - Migration Considerations
Migration Consideration Explanation For More Information
Application reuse? Do you need to reuse your PanelView Standard application and PLC ladder logic? If so, Refer to Reviewing Object Mapping on
you can convert your application for use with a PanelView Plus terminal using page 58
FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition (ME) software. The application and PLC ladder
logic may require updates because some objects or features may not directly migrate Refer to Reviewing Unsupported Features on
to FactoryTalk View ME software. page 62
If you want to create a FactoryTalk View ME application instead of reusing your
current application, stop here.
Require enhanced features? Does your application require enhanced features? If so, you can take advantage of the
advanced features that are offered by the PanelView Plus 7 terminals:
• Functions: trending, data logging, alarming, information and local messages,
expressions, security, language switching, recipes, global objects, multiversion
support, faceplates, graphic libraries, parameter files, rich graphics, and
animation.
• Communication: Ethernet and third-party connectivity to additional protocols.
Ethernet is the preferred communication.
• Hardware: 8-wire analog resistive touch screen, x86
1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and 512 MB nonvolatile memory, USB and Secure
Digital (SD) media support, modular display, communication, and logic
components.
• Remote connectivity: FTP server, web server, VNC client/server, ActiveX
controls, PDF reader, and FactoryTalk ViewPoint remote access is available on all
PanelView Plus 7 Standard and Performance terminals.
• Extended features: PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals include a web
browser, remote desktop connection, Microsoft Office file viewers, and WordPad
text editor.
Terminal replacement options? The terminal replacement for the PanelView Standard platform is the PanelView Plus Refer to Selecting a Terminal Replacement
7 platform. on page 14

External Fonts Before importing a PanelBuilder®32 application that uses external fonts, make
sure that the external font file is in this directory:

C:\Program Files\Allen-Bradley\PBEX\Fonts

If the conversion utility does not find the external font in this location, the
conversion stops without reporting an error.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 7

Chapter 1

Retain Last States on Startup PanelBuilder32 software lets you choose to retain the last states on startup for
all objects. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) software does not have
this feature.

Unsupported Characters in PanelBuilder32 software supports semicolons (;) in tag addresses; FactoryTalk
View ME software does not. Before importing your application into
Tag Names and Addresses FactoryTalk View ME software, change the semicolons (;) to colons (:) in the
PanelBuilder32 tag editor.

PanelBuilder32 software supports dashes (-) in tag names, FactoryTalk View

ME software does not. Before importing your application to FactoryTalk View
ME software, search the PanelBuilder32 tag editor for tag names with dashes
and duplicate the tags. Rename the tags to eliminate the dash, or replace the
dash with an underscore (_). Use the tag search function to find graphic objects
using the original tag names. Edit the objects to update the tag names.

Bit Array Tags You can monitor bit arrays for alarm conditions in FactoryTalk View
applications but you can’t assign bit arrays to graphic objects, or write to bit
arrays. This condition means all bit array tags in your PanelBuilder32
application are converted to memory tags in the FactoryTalk View ME
application.

String Tags At runtime, FactoryTalk View ME applications support a maximum length of

82 characters. Because PanelBuilder32 protocols support longer strings, some
alarm messages may be truncated after conversion.

Alarm Trigger Tags Bit arrays with the Bit or LSBit trigger types are used to trigger alarm messages
in a FactoryTalk View ME application. Assigning alarm triggers to elements in
a bit array, instead of bit addresses, frees up tags in the database for other uses.
When an element of an array changes from 0 to 1, it can generate an alarm
message if a message has been created for that bit position. With the Bit trigger
type, you can generate simultaneous alarm messages, one for each element.
With the LSB trigger type, only the lowest bit position triggers an alarm:
• In a PanelBuilder32 application, the trigger value for the bit data type
ranges from 0…31.
• In a FactoryTalk View ME application, the trigger value for the bit data
type ranges from 1…32.

The number of bits in the array depends on the data type of the tag. Integer
data types, for example, return 16 bits per element, while Bit data types return
8 bits per element.

8 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Chapter 1

To trigger a digital alarm that is based on an array of controller bits, you must
use a direct reference and the syntax:

tagname,Larraylength (for example, [PLC5]N7:0,L5)

TIP Don’t leave a space between the tag address and the length. For example,
the address {[SLC]BlockWrite1, L8}, where BlockWrite is the equivalent of
N7:0, does not work. {[SLC]BlockWrite1,L8} works.

Bit Position Triggers

Follow these steps in the FactoryTalk View ME application to trigger alarms by

using bit positions.

1. In the Trigger tab of the Alarm Setup editor, create a Bit type alarm
trigger.
2. In the Trigger dialog box, click Browse in the Tag column and browse to
the first element of an array.
For example, in a Logix5000™ controller that is called CLGX1, select
AAlm[0], which is an integer tag type.
3. Click OK to insert the tag address into your trigger tag.
This address {[CLGX1]AAlm[0]} is the starting element in your array
tag. [CLGX1] is the direct reference or the RSLinx® Enterprise device
shortcut name.
4. Double-click the address and append a comma and the letter L to the
address, then type the number of elements you want to include in your
array tag.
To add 64 elements to the example address, modify it to read
{[CLGX1]AAlm[0],L64]}. This syntax returns (64 x 16 =) 1024 bits.
Do not leave a space between the tag address and the length.
5. In the Messages tab, assign trigger values and alarm messages to as many
of the elements in the array tag as you like.
Each trigger value corresponds to a bit position, not a bit address.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 9

Chapter 1

In the Trigger Value column, enter a number for the element that triggers the
message, then create the message in the Message column. When that element in
the array changes value, it triggers the alarm and display the message.
Bit Position Trigger Value Message
1 1 Line 1: Conveyor has stopped
2 2 Line 1: Power failure
3 3 Line 2: Conveyor has stopped
4 4 Line 2: Power failure
... ... ...
1024 1024 Line 6: Oven door open

Least Significant Bit Triggers

Follow these steps to trigger alarms using Least Significant Bit positions.

1. In the Trigger tab of the Alarm Setup editor, create an LSBit type alarm
trigger.
2. In the Trigger dialog box, click Browse in the Tag column and browse to
the first element of an array.
For example, in a PLC-5® controller, select an integer tag N7:61. For this
example, only the first three-bit positions are used, so there’s no need to
specify a length (L) for the array. To also monitor bits in N7:62, add L2
to the address: [PLC5]N7:61,L2.
3. Specify these trigger values and alarm messages for the alarm trigger.

Bit in Array Bit Position Trigger Value Message

00 1 1 Motor has lost power
01 2 2 Motor has stopped
02 3 3 Overload switch has lost power

If the motor loses power at runtime, all three-bit values change from 0 to 1.
Only the first alarm message is generated, because bit 00 is the least significant
or the lowest bit. If the operator acknowledges the first alarm and power is not
yet restored, the second alarm is generated, and so on.

Alarm Messages Both PanelBuilder 32 and Machine Edition applications perform the same
three steps when an alarm is triggered.
1. Send the alarm message to the Data Tag connection.
2. Set the Notification Tag connection to 1.
3. Reset the Notification Tag connection to 0 when the Handshake tag
changes to a nonzero value.

10 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Chapter 1

The PanelBuilder32 application performs additional steps that are not

required by the ME application.
4. Send Null (00) to the Data Tag, overwriting the alarm message.
5. Set the Notification Tag to 1.
6. Reset the Notification Tag to 0 when the Handshake tag changes to a
new nonzero value.

The Data tag is now ready to accept a new alarm message.

Tags Assigned to Message Some PanelBuilder32 tags are assigned to Message connections in the
converted Machine Edition application.

Review the Application Conversion Log

Introduction In this chapter, you review the conversion log generated by FactoryTalk® View
Machine Edition (ME) software for your imported application. The results of
this log help you to determine what updates are required in your converted
application.

Before You Begin • Review migration considerations (Chapter 1).

• Select a PanelView™ Plus 7 terminal replacement and adapter kit, if
necessary (Chapter 2).
• Install the PanelView Plus 7 terminal in the existing PanelView Standard
panel cutout (Chapter 2).
• Import your PanelBuilder®32 .pba application into FactoryTalk View
ME software (Chapter 3).

What You Need • The new name of the application that was imported into FactoryTalk
View ME software. This action was completed in Chapter 3.
• Conversion log, convert.log, generated by the FactoryTalk View ME

About the Conversion Log The application conversion log, convert.log, is generated by the import wizard
when you import your PanelBuilder32 application into FactoryTalk View ME
software. This log provides detailed information about objects or features that
did not convert directly from your PanelBuilder32 application. Use this log as a
guide to update your application accordingly. Modifications to the application
are required to verify that the application operates correctly in FactoryTalk
View ME software.
IMPORTANT It is important that you review each object and feature in the converted
application to verify that they function as expected. Because
PanelBuilder32 objects or features may not map directly into FactoryTalk
View ME software, you may need to update your ladder logic to achieve the
same operational results.

Open the Conversion Log The conversion log, convert.log, is stored with the new application that was
imported into FactoryTalk View ME software.

Follow these steps to locate the conversion log on your computer.

1. Navigate to this folder.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\RSView

Enterprise\ME\HMI projects\

TIP All of your FactoryTalk View ME applications are located in this folder. This
includes new or imported applications.

2. Double-click the HMI project folder that contains the new application
name you created.

You entered this name in the import wizard when importing your
PanelBuilder32 application into FactoryTalk View ME software.

3. Double-click the convert.log file that is generated by the import wizard.

Your convert.log file varies from the example shown.

Review the Conversion Log The conversion log file, convert.log, contains a list of messages including
warnings, errors, and unsupported features or objects in the converted
application. You can compare these messages to the messages in the tables for
information on why the message was logged. For your convenience, the
message tables are categorized into these groups:
• RSLinx® software
• Tags
• Objects and screens
• Alarms

When resolving conversion log messages, refer to your original PanelBuilder32

application to review how the objects and tags were used.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 51

Chapter 4

During conversion, all PanelBuilder32 tag names and addresses are converted
to HMI tags in the FactoryTalk View ME tag database.

IMPORTANT Some features or objects are no longer supported in FactoryTalk View ME

software. However, new features or objects are available providing the
same or enhanced functionality.

Conversion Messages You Can Ignore

Some error messages appear consistently when importing PanelBuilder32
projects and can be ignored.

Screen and Object Conversion Messages

Table 19 lists screen and object messages that may appear in the convert.log file.
Most of the messages identify these attributes for a FactoryTalk View ME
object:
• Screen number and name
• Location (x,y) of the object
• New graphic object name

Use this information to locate the object and make required modifications.
The description for a message may reference a workaround in this document.

Here are some general notes on object conversions:

• Numeric display objects in PanelBuilder32 software are converted to
Text objects with embedded variables in FactoryTalk View ME software.

Optimize Runtime Performance

Introduction In this chapter, you learn how to benchmark performance of your runtime
application so that you can optimize as needed.

Before You Begin • Review migration considerations (Chapter 1).

• Select a PanelView™ Plus 7 terminal replacement and adapter kit, if
necessary (Chapter 2).
• Optionally install the PanelView Plus 7 terminal in the existing
PanelView Standard panel cutout (Chapter 2).
• Import your PanelBuilder32 .pba application into FactoryTalk® View
ME software (Chapter 3).
• Review the conversion log for your migrated application (Chapter 4).
• Review object mapping (Chapter 5).
• Review unsupported features and common migration issues
(Chapter 6).
• Correct, validate, and test the application (Chapter 7).
• Create, download, and run the application on a PanelView Plus 7
terminal (Chapter 8).

What You Need • A converted FactoryTalk View ME runtime application file that is
downloaded and loaded in your PanelView Plus terminal.

Benchmarking Performance You are now ready to compare performance of your PanelBuilder®32
application running on a PanelView Standard terminal and the converted
FactoryTalk View ME application running on a PanelView Plus 7 terminal.

You perform the benchmarking by functional areas so that you can optimize
performance one step at a time. Each function may also provide alternative
methods to improve performance where needed.

IMPORTANT Performance benchmarking between the terminal platforms is critical so

that operators experience the same, if not better, performance on the new
platform.

88 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Chapter 9

Reviewing Tag Update Rate The tag update response is dependent on where the tag is used in the
application. Each display or feature has a maximum tag update rate. This
parameter specifies the maximum rate at which new data is updated on the
display, including tags used in expressions and embedded variables.

The default tag update rate is 1.0 second.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 89

Chapter 9

Measure Performance of During performance benchmarking, you may want to measure the time it takes
for the application to change from one display to another. It is important that
Display Changes the operator experiences the same display feedback, if not better, on the
PanelView Plus 7 terminal.

If possible, place your PanelView Standard terminal and the new PanelView
Plus 7 terminal side by side. Run the original PanelView Standard application
and the converted PanelView Plus 7 application simultaneously.

Follow these steps to measure the length of time it takes to change from one
display to another in the application.

1. Load and run your converted application on the PanelView Plus 7

terminal.
2. To record the time it takes to change from one display to another display,
use a stopwatch in the next steps.
3. On any display, press the button that results in a display change and start
recording the time.
4. Stop recording the time after all tag information is loaded on the next
display.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have recorded the times for all displays in
the application.

IMPORTANT Cycle through all displays at least twice. The first time that you open a
display it loads slower than subsequent displays because tag information is
cached into memory after a display is opened.

6. If possible, repeat this procedure for the same application on the

PanelView Standard terminal.

In a FactoryTalk View ME application, each display can have a maximum of

1000 tag connections assigned. The more tag connections a display has, the
longer it takes to load the display.

If performance is slower for some displays in the PanelView Plus 7 application,

you can do one of the following:
• Adjust the maximum tag update rate for these displays
• Reduce the number of tags that are used on these displays

90 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Chapter 9

Reviewing Background Background tags are continuously updated by the runtime application whether
or not the operator is on a specific display. Tags update according to the
Updates maximum tag update rate for the associated feature.

The more familiar you are with these tags and features, the easier it is to update
and fine tune your application.

TIP Set noncritical tags to a longer maximum update rate. Set critical tags to a
lower rate so that time-sensitive information is always available to the
operator.

Global Connections

The Global Connections editor provides a list of connections that you can
assign to tags:
• Date and Time
• Display
• Macro
• Backlight
• Memory

These tags are continuously updated in the background by the application,

regardless of what display is active. The tags update according to the setting of
the maximum update rate parameter.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 91

Chapter 9

Alarms

The Alarm Setup editor lets you define triggers, messages, and advanced
features for alarms. Any trigger tags or optional connections that are assigned
within the editor update according to the maximum update rate. This
parameter is on the Advanced tab.

Information Messages

The Information Message editor lets you specify information messages to

automatically display on a user-defined display. The tags that are assigned in
this editor, update at the rate defined by the maximum update rate.

Optimize Tags for Network You can further improve network performance by converting the application
tags from HMI tags to direct reference tags.

The tag converter wizard (TCW) automatically converts tags in an application

from HMI tags to direct reference tags.

TIP You can download The TCW utility from the Knowledgebase.
See Technote 31289.

About the Tag Converter Wizard

The tag converter wizard (TCW) requires information from an existing

application to perform the conversion:
• Exported HMI tag database
• Exported displays (xml format)
• Exported alarms (xml format)

When this pre-conversion information is available, you can run the wizard.
The wizard examines the HMI tag database to determine which tags to convert
to alias tags or direct reference tags.

IMPORTANT The tag converter wizard converts HMI tags to device tags. It does not
convert device tags to HMI tags. Back up your application before starting
the conversion. The conversion alters the original displays when imported
into your new application.

Remote I/O Applications

IMPORTANT For Remote I/O applications, HMI tags that use custom scale and offsets are
not converted. Any alias tags with initial values assigned are not converted.
You must manually set the custom scale, offsets, and initial values for these
tags, for objects to operate correctly.

The HMI tags are substituted with the alias or device tags in the display and
alarm xml files. When the conversion is done, a Convert_Log.txt file is
generated. This file indicates all tag substitutions on a display-by-display basis.
A new set of display and alarm xml files are created that you can import into
your migrated application. The original display and alarm xml files are
unaltered.

Non-Remote I/O Applications

For all non-Remote I/O applications, HMI tags are converted to direct
reference tags regardless of scale, offset, and min/max values. This conversion
includes Ethernet, DF1, DH+™, and DH-485 applications.

IMPORTANT Memory tags are not converted. You must convert memory tags manually
before running the Tag Converter Wizard.

the result of not selecting an object.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 113

Appendix A

2. Select a graphic object on the display.

This example shows a text object selected. The property panel shows all
properties that you can edit for the selected object.

3. To view and edit the tag connection properties for the selected object,
select the Connections tab.
This example shows the Value and Polarity connections for a numeric
display object.

Edit Multiple Objects One of the most useful features of the property panel is that you can edit
multiple graphic objects with common properties simultaneously, rather than
editing each object, one by one.

Chapter 6, Review Unsupported Features, showed you how to create

replacement multistate indicator, local message and numeric data display list
objects in FactoryTalk View ME software. Creating this replacement graphic
objects also required you to update properties to match the original
PanelBuilder®32 objects. These properties included captions, foreground/
background colors, text size, number of states, and more.

114 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Appendix A

Follow these steps to change a few properties for a group of ten multistate
indicator objects.

1. Select a group of graphic objects you want to edit.

If your objects are not grouped, simply hold down the Ctrl key and click
each object.
When a set of grouped objects are selected, the property panel shows
only the grouped properties.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 115

Appendix A

2. Click the Include Grouped Objects button on the property panel.

You see all properties that can be edited for the objects in the group.
Clicking any property provides a popup, pull-down menu, or other
editing method.
In the next step, you will change the ST_Caption from **** to State 0
and the ST_BackColor to Green. These changes are then applied to all
selected objects for the state that is defined in the State property.
To change other states, simply change the State property to State1 and
make the desired edits.

3. Click the ... button next to St_Caption.

116 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Appendix A

4. Type the new caption in the String Edit dialog box and click OK.

5. Click the ... button in the St_BackColor field.

6. In the color palette that opens, click a new color.
The example shows the grouped objects before and after edits.
Depending on the object you are editing, the properties differ. Help text
at the bottom identifies what the property does.
Before Edits After Edits

TIP You can apply this editing technique to cursor llst objects, depending on the
number of objects. This action saves you time when updating your objects
in FactoryTalk View ME software to match the original PanelBuilder32
object.

Object Explorer The object explorer provides a tree-list of all objects in the selected display. You
can select and highlight objects in this list.

Groups are listed as expandable items, with the + icon. To view the objects in a
group, click the + icon or double-click the group name. The list expands to
show the objects and groups within a group.

You can use the highlight settings to highlight specified objects on both the
graphic display and object explorer. You can select objects by object type, by
animation type, or by tag name.

For a display with many objects, object explorer provides an efficient way of
locating and selecting graphic objects. If you want to edit specific objects,
object explorer can highlight these objects for you. By using the property panel,
you can do one the following:
• Perform multiple edits instantly

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 117

Appendix A

• Double-click the object in object explorer to open the properties dialog

box and make edits to a single object

Follow these steps to open object explorer.

1. With a graphic display open, choose View>Object Explorer.

2. Expand or collapse groups of objects by clicking the Expand or Collapse
buttons.
The objects that appear in the list differ for each display.
3. To search for objects, click the Settings button.

The Highlight Settings dialog box allows you to search for objects by
Object Type, Animation Type, or Tag Name.
When selecting by tag name, the list shows all tags and expressions that
are referenced by objects in the display, except tags with embedded
variables.

4. Select Local Message Objects to search for all local message objects.

118 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Appendix A

5. Click OK to return to the object explorer.

6. Check the Highlighting on checkbox and click the Expand button.

The object explorer highlights all local message displays in red.

Local message objects on the display also appear red with a border.
If you have a display with a red background, the red highlights are not
visible.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 119

Appendix A

When you select an object in the object explorer, the Highlight mode
turns off. Simply, recheck the Highlight on box to turn the highlights
back on.

Display Object

7. To open the properties for the local message display, double-click an

object in the object explorer.
8. Edit the properties and click OK.

120 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Appendix A

If the property panel and object explorer are both open, click any object
in object explorer. The property panel updates the display with the edit
properties for the selected objects. You can make any updates from the
property panel.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 121

Appendix A

Substitute Tags You can use tag substitution to replace tag names or character strings in all
selected graphic objects on a display. Character strings include tag
placeholders, expressions, and parts of strings within expressions. When
replacing tags, you can use an entire tag name, including folders, or you can
replace a string of characters.

TIP You cannot use wildcard characters when searching for or replacing tag
names.

Tag substitution is useful when your graphic displays use a direct reference tag
name or if an HMI Tag name is referenced throughout your application and
must be updated.

Follow these steps to substitute a tag or character string.

1. Open the graphic display that you want to update.

2. To select all objects in the display, press Ctrl-A.
All objects on the display are highlighted. This example display is for
illustration purposes only.

TIP You must select all objects or the Tag Substitution dialog box only shows
tags of the selected objects.

122 Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022

 Appendix A

3. Choose Edit>Tag Substitution.

In the Tag Substitution editor, you can search on an existing name or a

part of a tag name.
4. Type mem in the Search for box.
5. Type tag in the Replace with box.
Uncheck the Confirm Replacement option, if you don’t want to confirm
every replacement.
6. Click Replace.
The editor searches for each tag that contains the partial string mem and
replaces the string with tag. You are prompted to confirm each
replacement.

Rockwell Automation Publication 2711P-AP006E-EN-P - August 2022 123

Appendix A

7. Click Replace All to confirm the replacement of all tags at once.

You are notified when the substitution is complete.

8. Click OK.

9. To verify that tags with the string mem were updated to tag, choose
Edit>Tag Substitution.

You can use tag substitution on a display-by-display basis to verify that all tags
or partial strings are updated correctly in the application.
