This chapter covers considerations to address before migrating a
PanelView 1000e or 1400e application to the PanelView Plus platform.
The table provides an explanation of things to consider when
migrating an application.
Reviewing Object Mapping,
application and PLC ladder logic? If so, you can convert your
application for a PanelView Plus terminal using FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition (ME) software. The application and PLC
ladder logic may require updates because some objects or
features may not directly migrate to FactoryTalk View ME
software.
If you do not want to reuse your current application but instead
create a new one with FactoryTalk View ME software, you can
stop here.
Remote I/O? The PanelView Plus terminals support multiple
racks of discrete Remote I/O, depending on the scanner type.
PanelView Plus terminals do not support a built-in alarm relay
or beeper. However, you can use an external alarm relay.

Before You Begin
What You Need
In this chapter, you will import your existing PanelBuilder 1400e
application into FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) software.
Different software is used by each PanelView terminal platform to
develop applications.
• PanelView 1000e and 1400e terminals run applications created
with PanelBuilder 1400e configuration software.
• PanelView Plus terminals run applications created with
FactoryTalk View ME software.
• Review the migration considerations table (Chapter 1).
• Select a PanelView Plus terminal replacement and adapter plate,
if required (Chapter 2).
• Optionally install the PanelView Plus terminal replacement
(Chapter 2). You can install the terminal after migrating and
testing your application.
• FactoryTalk View Studio software
• PanelBuilder 1400e .pvc application file. The application file can
reside on your local hard drive or a CompactFlash card.

Introduction
Before You Begin
What You Need
In this chapter, you will review the conversion log generated by
FactoryTalk View Machine Edition (ME) software. The results of this
log will help you to determine what updates are required in your
converted application.
• Review migration considerations (Chapter 1).
• Select a PanelView Plus terminal replacement and adapter plate,
if required (Chapter 2).
• Install the PanelView Plus terminal in the existing PanelView
1000e or 1400e panel cutout (Chapter 2).
• Import your PanelBuilder 1400e .pvc application into
FactoryTalk View ME software (Chapter 3).
• A PanelBuilder 1400e application migrated into FactoryTalk
View ME software. This was done in Chapter 3.
• The new name given the migrated application in FactoryTalk

About the Conversion Log
The application conversion log is generated by the Import Wizard
when you import your PanelBuilder 1400e application into
FactoryTalk View ME software. This log provides detailed information
about objects or features that did not convert directly from your
PanelBuilder 1400e application. Use this log as a guide to update your
application accordingly. Modifications to the application are required
to verify that the application will operate correctly in FactoryTalk View
ME software.
IMPORTANT
It is important that you review each object and feature in the
converted application to verify that each will function as
expected. Because 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 as
your PanelBuilder 1400e application.

Chapter 4 Review the Application Conversion Log
Review the Conversion Log
The conversion log contains a list of messages from warnings, errors,
and unsupported features or objects in the converted application. You
can compare these messages to those in the table below for
information on why the message was logged.
Most conversion log messages identify these attributes for a
FactoryTalk View ME object:
• Display name
• Position (x,y) of the object
• New graphic object name
You can use this information to locate the object and make required
modifications. The description for a message may reference a
workaround in this document.
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.
Match the messages in the conversion log with the messages in the
table. The Display Name, Object Name, and Position Text references
in the messages are unique for each application.
