I am having the same problem here at my facility.

I have 1000's running firmware versions 4.41 and I have multiple workstations from which I can upload/open the projects from. I have versions 3.8 and 3.81 running on workstations with 2000 and XP. I have a few panelviews that I can upload and open and a few that I cannot, and it makes no sense. I have crused the AB Knowledgebase and could also find nothing. I am hoping to get an AB rep in here next week, if I figure it out I will put it up here.

I don't have any problems when I attempt to upload/open from firmware version 4.20 panelview.

Unable to open Panel Builder 32 Files FIXED

Hello Guys, let me share my experience

I was checking some PB32 Files PVA, the interesting part is i could open some that were on a network but could not open ones that i copied to my laptop, i check their size and everything and at the end i remmbered something similar happened to me with a slc file, the path where i had the PVA file was too long i guess, so i copied the files directy to C: and i was able to open all my PVA files

try this =)

Good advice, but 8 years after they asked for help. If they haven't opened it by now, I doubt they are still needing the help.

You fixed my problem with a PV600. I uploaded as a .PVA to the root C:, opened it in PB32 v3.8.3 and then saved it as a .PBA in my normal directory.

THANK YOU, Bolatov!

If you zip the file first, you should be able to attach it. (This Forum limits the file types that can be attached, but it will allow .zip files)

Yes I had the same problem. The file was written with v3.83 and I had v3.82. Upgrading solves the problem.

This appears to be a Panelview 1250, I'm not sure, I may be wrong but Panelbuilder32 can't action this. It needs a different program.

There should be someone on this forum who could verify this.

Steve

It would appear that its a pv1250 plus, you would in that case require factorytalk to action it

Thanks for looking into it nehpets.

but it is panel view 1000 (2711-T10C3) SER C

REV B ; FRN 4.10.

I downloaded the file using compact flash card.

when i was trying to download the panel view application using DH-485 network, I got error at 99% "error-4008 terminal report bad data count"

so i have no options to upload that application from panel view.

Does it open , if i downgrade my panel builder ?? 3.83 to 3.82 ?

any other option ?

thanks again

Probably like others I opened the 'PVA' file using Notepad and saw multiple references leading to the assumption that it is for a Panelview 1250. Is it possible there was already information or files on the Compact Flash card which is mixed into this file?
