Converting a PL7 application into a Control Expert application generates certain differences, which are described in the following paragraphs.

The display format of the values of text objects (Binary and Hex) have been modified in the Runtime Screen tool.

The new format is identical to the one used in all other tools of Control Expert: animation tables and language editors.

Example: The WORD type variable, 0 in binary format 2#0000000000000000 is converted into 2#0000_0000_0000_0000.

The PL7 applications to be converted may therefore show display errors. If the display zone has been adjusted to the maximum size of the text, in animation, running Control Expert the value of the variable will be replaced by the sequence ##############, indicating that the size of the zone is insufficient to display the value in its entirety.

You must then either resize the display zone of the text, or lower the size of the font used.
