I have a PanelView 1200 project that was created using the DOS PDS s/w (2711-ND1). The screen contrast of the PV 1200 is almost lost. The old PV 1200 is connected to a PLC5/25 processor through the RIO comm link. The Data transfers are done using two BTW instructions. I am wanting to convert the PV 1200 *.cfg file and use in a RSView ME runtime application. The HMI I want to use for the converted application will be a PC connected to the DH+ through a KTX card using a RSView ME Station runtime.
I have the PDS (DOS) s/w and PanelBuilder 1400E s/w (ver. V05.15.00, Build 1). I also have RSView Supervisory Edition which includes: RSView Enterprise, RSView Studio and RSview ME station s/w.
I have read that this conversion can be accomplished. I have researched the threads on this site dealing with similar conversions but I still don't fully understand how this is accomplished. I need to convert the *.cfg file to a *.PVC and change the file from an RIO Network type to a DH+ network type. Then open the saved *.PVC file in RSView Studio. The PB 1400E does allow me to open a *.cfg file and save as an *.PVC. The RSView Studio program allows me to import the *.PVC file into RSView ME.
When the *.cfg File is converted in the PB 14000E program it grabs the tags that were created in the PDS (PanelBuilder Development Software). All the addresses remain B03 XX/XX. I can not seem to get the tags to reference the actual integer files that are associated with the PLC 5/25 BTWs.
Has anyone here had any luck with this type of conversion? Can anyone here help direct me through how this conversion is accomplished?
