Restore a project from a broken OP177B mono

Hello Guys.

One question. I have to restore a project from a broken OP177B mono(Version 1.0.1.0), to a different OP177B mono panel (Version 1.1.3.0)

Will I be able to download the backup made with Prosave to the panel? The reason I am asking is, that I tried to download the WinCCFlex project to the OP, but got an error that the version of the panel and the project are not compatible.
In my WinCC flex I can't choose this firmware, so my idea is to back up the broken panel and restore it to the new panel.

Do you have the full project, or just a binary backup?



I think the backups require the same OS version. You should be able to use Prosave to flash the new panel to the older image, and then load the backup.


You might need to hunt the support site (or give them a call) if you don't have the right OS image on your PC.

Hello. I have the whole project, but when I tried to download it to the Panel, i got an error that the device version of the project and the panel are not compatible. So that's why I am thinkig if I can just backup the old panel and restore it with PROsave. But I haven't found out if this can even be done, or will I get the same error as described above.

Cheers.

You can use Prosave to Update the OS.

Browse for the firmware file in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Siemens\SIMATIC WinCC flexible\WinCC flexible Images\Mobile_OP_TP177B
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\SIMATIC WinCC flexible\WinCC flexible Images\Mobile_OP_TP177B

But I believe there is an OS Update... menu option in WinCC flexible as well.

Which version of WinCC flexible do you have?

And what is the exact part number of the OP177? (the old one and the new one)

I don't quite understand why the OS update doesn't work, but here you go:
