2711-T14C3 conversion to 2711P-T15C6D1

I want to convert a 2711-T14C3 to 2711P-T15C6D1.
Is there an AB wizard/converter?
Any members offer the service?
Any suggestions/ help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

That first part number almost threw me... it's one of the most rare PanelViews, the PanelView 1400 Standard. That was the only CRT-based PanelView Standard terminal.

The "3" at the end of the part number means it was equipped with DH485 protocol on an RS-232 hardware port.

Any PanelView Plus 15" terminal can run the DH485 Serial driver on the built-in RS-232 port, so your communications will work with the existing hardware and cables.

There is a conversion utility that gets about 80% of the work done for converting from PanelView Standard to FactoryTalk View ME. It's included with FactoryTalk View Studio ME.

There are several Forum members who are expert with both PanelBuilder32 and FactoryTalk View ME and can probably give you an hourly labor quote.

The comm port is a DH485 not a RS-232.
It will need a RN6 that has a comm port.
Thank you.

Ah, thank you ! I was mis-remembering the difference between the -3 and -5 terminals in the PanelView Standard family.

-2 has DH485 only.
-3 has DH485 plus an RS-232 printer port
-5 has DH485 over RS232
-9 has DH485 over RS232 plus an RS-232 printer port

For the PanelView Plus, you could get a 2711P-RN6 module and use the isolated DH485 connection on that module, but in my opinion it would be less expensive and just as functional to connect the PanelView Plus RS-232 port to a 1761-NET-AIC module and then connect that module to your DH485 network.

How exactly is the existing terminal connected to the DH485 network or controllers ?

The 1400 standard series has the following Panelviews,
1-R-I/O
3-DH485
8-DH+
9-RS-232 (DH485)
14-PROFIBUS
15-CONTROLNET
20-ETHERNET
The T14C3 I am working with uses a 1747-C10 cable from the Panelview to the SLC-L532.
Thank you

The easiest way to connect your PanelView Plus to the SLC-5/03 CPU (1747-L532) is to connect a straight-through RS-232 cable between the PV+ serial port and the DB9 serial port on a 1761-NET-AIC.

Then use a 1761-CBL-AS03 or -AS09 cable to connect the 1761-NET-AIC "DH485 trunk connector" to the Channel 1 DH485 port of the SLC-5/03 controller.

Thank you.

I had noticed that error too and was preparing an attachment. When I got back ye had kind of sorted it, but seeing as I've made it, and now need it for reference, I've attached it anyway...

Ken,

I'll jog your memory further!

Your list doesn't quite apply to all models of terminals, and isn't quite complete. Which comms options apply, or are available, depends upon the terminal type. Lesser models, such as PV600 may or may not have Printer Ports, so comms option "2" applies when selecting. If you look at the 1400 models listed in my attachment, you can see there is no comms option "2". This is because all the PV1400 colour models happen to have an RS-232 Printer Port, so that's why "2" isn't listed as a comms option. In fact, throughout the different PanelView models, old and new, there are comms options 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,15,16,20. I won't go listing all their features, unless someone is curious. Options 4,5 and 20 came in with PVP terminals and option 4 is now the standard for PVP 6 terminals.

As you can also see on the comms option "3" model, the DH-485 Communications Port 7 is the wider type (SDL AMP) DH-485 port.

For controllers, such as an SLC5/03, the terminal could be connected directly to the controller if under 20ft away using a 1747-C10 (1ft), -C11 (6ft), or -C20 (20ft) cable, which are SDL AMP to RJ-45 jacks. This is a non-electrically isolated point-to-point connection.

If the controller is further than 20ft away, isolators are required and usually used for ease of termination. The PV is normally connected to an 1747-AIC Link Coupler, using one of the above cables. Or a 1761-NET-AIC using a 6-way Phoenix to RJ-45 cable such as the 1761-CBL-AS03, -AS09.

The last option for the old setup may be the best option for your new setup.

EDIT: What Ken said...I need to control my rambling

I dug this migration PDF out in case you're considering doing this yourself.

Read at least "Chapter 1 - Things To Know Before You Migrate".

Here's the obvious reason the CRT model was ditched...

31941 - PanelView 1400 Standard Obsolescence and Recommended Transition Plan
Access Level: TechConnect

If you feel you're not up to it, Rockwell can also carry out this conversion for you if you wish...

57738 - Convert Legacy and Third Party PLC / HMI Programs
Access Level: Everyone

...but you, or A.Another, will still need to commission it, so it might be best get some one in to do the lot.

I am surprised that the 2711-T14C20 is not listed in the PDF.

I am looking for a programmer to help me with PB32 & PV+ programming.
Thank you.
