I used the FT View ME conversion tool on an existing PanelView standard program I had. The conversion worked and no errors were generated. In a previous thread: http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=75566 I worked on communicating from the new PV+ to the 5/04 using DH+. That is all working fine. The original PanelBuilder project used character arrays and pointed to N file to display information like product names. Not familar with these at all so this is where I am looking for some help. During the conversion to PV+ it changed all of those tags to STRING type. When I hook up the PV+ to my DH+ network all the former character array tags in PB32 project that were converted to string tags now display a decimal number I am assuming corrosponds to what N address the character array pointed to. is there a way to manipulate that data in FT View ME to read the string representation? Or would I have to do something similar to this thread: http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=75128 and do the conversion via the Controllogix program? Anyone have experience converting PB32 character arrays to FT View ME string tags? Thanks in advance.
