Have a customer with a small extrusion machine. It was built in 2002. Has L551/B/FRN5… Devicenet…
We are upgrading the main drive to a PF755, no problems with that… so far.
Anyway, this has an Advantech Panel PC, 2002 vintage with Windows 2000 and Wonderware. No clue as to what version of WW.
Well, the HDD in the panel PC may have bit the dust today, it is certainly pointing to that.
There are no files available for the WW stuff, but we did get decent cooperation from the OEM on drawings/PLC pgm...
I have never used Wonderware before, so have no clue.
If we can recover files from the HDD, could those possibly be installed (copied) onto a new HDD with a different OS?
I did ballpark an entire machine upgrade to the latest and greatest. It was quite reasonable, and a preferred scenario, but they may not want to spend the cash.
I’ve called a few resources and no one uses WW around here anymore.
Thanks!!
