Unsupported PanelBuilder 1400e RIO tags

When a PanelBuilder 1400e RIO application is converted into a FactoryTalk View Machine Edition application, the Machine Edition Import Wizard converts all the valid tags in the imported applications into HMI device tags. Tags that the Wizard is not able to convert into device tags are converted into HMI memory tags, and an error is logged for each one, except for Block tags. For tags of tag type Block, a log file containing an equivalent direct reference will be created instead.

Unsupported tags include tags that in the PanelBuilder 1400e configuration have:

  • A blank address
  • A data type of 1 Digit BCD, 2 Digit BCD, 3 Digit BCD, 5 Digit BCD, 6 Digit BCD, or 7 Digit BCD
  • A data type of Bit Position, but an address that does not reference a single bit
  • A data type of Default, Unsigned Integer, Signed Integer, Long Integer, Float, 4 Digit BCD, 8 Digit BCD, or String, but an address whose assigned bit offset is not 0
  • A tag type of Block
  • An invalid PanelBuilder 1400e block transfer or I/O address
