Hi All,
I am a very new AB user but recently started a project with a PV400 touchscreen. Using the CCW version 10 software I can download the program via Ethernet but it takes a very long time. After clicking Download it first says "Unloading application... System is busy" which takes over a minute. Then I click download again and it prompts with "A file with that name exists. Overwrite?" I click yes and 45 seconds later it finally says the download was successful. Then I have to power cycle the HMI (which takes another 25 seconds) for the new program to run. Are these steps really necessary to update the program? Maybe I'm being impatient but it seems like this process should take 10-20 seconds, not 2+ minutes. Are there other methods to download a new program to the PV800?
Thanks for your help.
Kevin
