Chapter 6 Review Unsupported Features and Implement Workarounds for Migration Issues

Reviewing Common

Migration Issues and

Workarounds

Some graphic objects, data types, and other features do not migrate

directly into FactoryTalk View ME software. The most common

migration issues relate to these objects or features:

• Scrolling list objects

• Cursor list objects

• Set bit cursor point objects

• Bit position data type

• PLC controlled or fixed position decimal

• Retain last state

• Ladder logic updates to support visible states

FactoryTalkView ME software provides replacement objects and

workarounds that provide the same if not similar functionality.

Required Files and Utilities

The Rockwell Automation Knowledgebase document contains files

and utilities to simplify the migration process.

Document Title: Migrating PanelView Enhanced Terminal Applications

Download the Migration Solutions.zip attachment containing the

required files and utilities. This file contains a Migration Solutions.apa

demo project, the tag converter wizard utility, and a set bit cursor

point ActiveX Control.

• Migration solutions demo project contains replacement

objects for the cursor list, local message list, multisate indicator

object list, numeric data display object list and the set bit cursor

point. You can import these displays into your converted

application, copy the objects, and then configure them.

To see how the set bit cusror point works, click the Display Test

Run button on the set bit cursor point display.

• Tag converter wizard utility optimizes tags in the converted

application. To improve performance, the utility converts HMI

tags to alias or direct reference tags.

• Set bit cursor point ActiveX control replaces the set bit

cursor point object in the converted application. To activate this

control, it needs to be registered on our computer and the

PanelView Plus CE terminal
