PLC controller in program mode, or PanelView
1200 terminal in configuration mode.
The PassThrough block transfer assignment in
the PanelView 1200 terminal doesn't match the
PassThrough block transfer assignment in the
application file being downloaded.
Put the PLC controller and the PanelView 1200
terminal in run mode.
Match the address assignments.
186

Ensure that both ends of the Remote I/O cables
are connected and terminated according to the
baud rate used.
Reassign the KT or KT2 address.
190
All others"

library"
Screen objects have addresses assigned to the
PassThrough block transfer file.
The PLC controller or the PanelView 1200
terminal don't have an 82ohm resistor when
running at 230K baud on Remote I/O.
The PassThrough block transfer file in the
PanelBuilder application is also being used on a
BTR or BTW instruction in the PLC controller.
Assign a different address to the PassThrough
block transfer file, or assign different addresses
to the screen objects.
Install 82ohm resistor.
Assign a unique address to the PassThrough
block transfer file.
224
Communications board address incorrect"
PanelView 1200 rack assignment is greater than
7.
The KT card bit pattern doesn't match the
jumper setting on the KT card.
Use PanelBuilder software 4.00.02 or higher.
Ensure that the settings on the KT card match
those entered in the PassThrough download
configuration. See the following table for
information on selecting a memory location for
the KT card.
