thank you very much for the inview software.

How about the dataliner software, do you have? Because I want to convert dataliner RIO comms to inview.
Can you guide me what are the procedure to do such conversion. My controller is PLC5/20

I havn't
Are you jast know about this:

PS: That DL type you have? DL-5, DL-20 or...?
PPS; Let me know the your device Cat.No.
Now I found DL-5 and DL-30 soft

dataliner catalog #: 2706-E23J16B1...
Inview catalog#: 2706-P22R connected to RIO comms module catalog #: 2706-PR10P
If I upload program from dataliner catalog #: 2706-E23J16B1 and converted to Inview catalog 2706-P22R what are the procedure do I perform in order to convert program smoothly.

So, your 2706-E2316B1 unit belongs to the family DL-40.
I have no experience with these devices. I can only give you links to documentation and software.

Summary of Technote Information:
2706-P22R is the best currently available replacement option for a DL20.
The Inview model P22R is being offered as a replacement for DL20's that are being taken out of service. For this reason it has the same cutout size as one and two-line DL20's (2706-B1xxxx and B2xxxx). Note that it will not fit in the same slot as a four-line DL20. While the cutout size is the same, the P22R is programmed and triggered differently than the DL20.


TRIGGERING MESSAGES

If you are using the serial port on the DL20 to trigger your messages with ASCII strings then you will find that the Inview module works in very much the same way, using nearly the same ASCII commands. ^T/messagenumber/^M and ^V/variable/^M are both valid strings for the Inview module. If you are using DL20's in a master/slave configuration then the addressable master string-type is similar to that of the Inview as well. However, the Inview cannot be used as a slave to an existing DL20 nor can it be a master to other DL20's. If you are replacing a DL20 that is a slave to another DL20 or that is a master to another DL20 then all DL20's will have to be replaced by P22R's in order to preserve the original functionality.

If you are triggering messages using an output card connected to the parallel lines of the DL20 then extra measures will have to be taken to preserve this functionality. The Inview P22R does not have a parallel input strip like the DL20 does. It will accept serial communications only. Specifically, you can only trigger messages using ASCII commands. However, as mentioned previously there are measures you can take to preserve your current setup. You can connect your parallel output lines from your output card into the input lines on a Micrologix controller (for example) and have the Micrologix controller convert the input signals into ascii strings using ladder logic. Any controller that supports ASCII writes will work, a Micrologix is recommended because of the reduced cost. However, you must ensure that the Micrologix controller supports ASCII writing, such as the Micrologix 1200. More information and an example ladder program for a Micrologix controller that converts the input lines into ASCII strings is available at http://www.ab.com/eoi/inview/competitivemigration.html.

How can you create your own ladder? This is how our ladder example works: the input lines on a DL20 include two "strobe" lines, the rest are "data" lines. The orientation of the strobe lines tell the DL20 what it is receiving on the data lines. For example, if strobe line 1 is ON and strobe line 2 is OFF then the Dataliner knows the number being sent to it's data lines is a message number, not a variable and it displays that message accordingly. In the Micrologix example, all input lines are read and the program differentiates between the strobe and data lines based on which inputs they are connected to on the Micrologix. The program determines what is being displayed (variable or message) and builds an ascii string accordingly - ^T/^V and the number on the data lines followed by a ^M. Then an ascii write command is used to send the string to the Inview. Note that our ladder example assumes the data lines are being triggered using binary, not BCD, but the ladder can be modified accordingly.

PROGRAMMING MESSAGES

Programming messages on an Inview requires the Inview programming software part # 2706-PSW1. You cannot use the DL20 software to download to an Inview and you cannot use the Inview software to upload messages form a DL20. You can convert DL20 s-records to a format usable by the inview software. See http://www.ab.com/eoi.inview.competitivemigration.html.
