Hello there,
Long time reader, first time poster.
To start with, I am not very familiar with the RS family of devices and software. I am GE man so dont be hating . So i basically had a screen which broke, and it was replaced (all external to myself) now the screen has no program on it. I have researched and discovered that Panelbuilder32 is the program which the project is created in. The PC with panelbuilder and RS software is a stationary PC and cannot be moved. I have NO RS software on a laptop to connect locally to the screen. I have the screen IP set to 192.168.1.22, and the work PC set to 192.168.1.100. I can ping the screen from the work PC. when i download the program, i have used RSLinx as the connection to download. however i get an error message immediately after clicking download.
I believe i have 1 of 3 issues (this is where my heads at)
1) The screen is to updated, and the software is too old and i need to update something
2) the unrecognized device is RSLinx is the issue and i need to get that rectified
3) i do not have the local settings on the screen correct and i am just a rookie haha.
I have attached some screen shots, some more can be given.
any advice or assistance would be awesome.
cheers guys
