HMI migration
PanelView and RSView migration to PanelView Plus 7, PanelView 5000 and FactoryTalk View
PanelView Standard, PanelView Plus 6 and RSView applications are ageing. Star Automations migrates them to PanelView Plus 7, PanelView 5000 and FactoryTalk View: screen and tag conversion, communication changes, alarm and recipe checks, and on-site testing. We also repair and supply legacy PanelView terminals meanwhile.
Typical migration paths
The right target depends on your I/O count, networks, performance needs and budget. We confirm the target during the audit — the table shows the usual direction, not a fixed rule.
| Legacy | Typical target | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| PanelView Standard (2711-xxx) | PanelView 5000 or PanelView Plus 7 | Application and comms rebuild |
| PanelView Plus 6 | PanelView Plus 7 | Applications often convert but must be tested |
| PanelView 600 / 1000 | PanelView Plus 7 | Check cutout and mounting |
| RSView32 | FactoryTalk View SE | PC and server architecture planning |
| RSView ME | FactoryTalk View ME | Screens, tags, alarms, recipes |
What needs care in this migration
Screens and tags
Conversion tools help with screens, but tag references, alarms, recipes and data logs need hand checking against the new controller tags.
Communications
Terminals on DH+ or Remote I/O move to EtherNet/IP; the controller side may be changing at the same time.
Mounting
Cutouts and depth must be checked so the new terminal fits the existing panel door.
Failure meanwhile
Blank screens and dead touch on old terminals are common. We repair and supply legacy terminals so production continues.
Our migration process
- Migration readiness audit: inventory of hardware, firmware, networks, programs and spares
- Back up and document the running system before anything is touched
- Design the target architecture and I/O mapping; agree scope and the cutover approach
- Convert and rebuild the program and HMI, with every conversion warning reviewed by hand
- Test in stages: simulation, panel factory test where panels are built, then site testing
- Cutover with a rollback plan, then handover documentation
What we need from you: Program backups (or access to the running processor); Electrical drawings and the I/O list, if available; Network layout and device list; Photos of nameplates, panels and wiring; Your shutdown windows and any safety requirements.
