Unsupported PanelBuilder32 RIO tags

When a PanelBuilder32 RIO application is converted into a 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.

Unsupported tags include tags that, in the PanelBuilder32 configuration, have:

  • a blank address
  • a data type of Binary, but an address that does not reference a single bit and does not have a length or range of 8 bits or 16 bits specified
  • a data type of Bit Array but an address that does not have an Array Size of 1, 8, 16 or 32
  • a data type of Bit Array and an Array Size of 8, but an address whose offset is not 0 or 8 – (non-block transfer and SLC™ addresses)
  • a data type of Bit Array and an Array Size of 8, but an address whose offset is not 0 or 10 (octal) – (non-SLC I/O addressing)
  • a data type of Bit Array and an Array Size of 16 or 32, but an address whose offset is not 0
  • a data type of Bit or BOOL, but an address that does not contain the bit delimiter /
  • a data type of 4BCD, Unsigned Integer, Signed Integer/INT, Character Array, DINT or SINT, but an address that does contain the bit delimiter character /
  • an invalid I/O or block transfer address
