PanelView Plus 6 1000 - MER File

Hello Everyone,

I hope we are all good today!

I have a project from 2015, and the customer is locked out of the HMI. They do not know what the passwords are.

I have a backup (mer and apa), but I prefer to back up what is there before I make any changes. This system was commissioned 7 years ago.

My Golden rule is always upload a backup before you download your changes.

Is there a way to grab the mer file off the HMI without shutting down the HMI and exiting to Terminal Settings or Windows Desktop?

I have not connected yet, but I assume VNC and FTP are disabled.

I was thinking a USB with an autoexec file to copy to USB, would this work?

can't you just use the ME transfer utility to upload the current project off the HMI?

maybe I don't remember if the PVP6 was compatible, but I thought it was.

You can turn on VNC using a autorun.bat file: Note this site is putting **** where it should be "Reset View Only" with no spaces


On the root of the USB make a file called ResetVi****ly.reg and put the following line in it:
rem REGEDIT4
rem [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CeVncService]
rem "Reset View Only"=dword:0



In the autorun.bat file put:

regedce USB Storage\ResetVi****ly.reg
services register cevncservice
services load cevncservice
services start VNC0:
pause
