A client of mine has a contract to rebuild and modify four machines, each of which has a Compact Logix PLC and a PanelView Plus HMI. Last year we did two of the machines. We had to upgrade the firmware on the HMIs to accept the .mer files created with the version of Factory Talk Studio (v8.2).
The next two machines arrived recently and when we tried to upgrade the PanelView firmware it seems that the firmware is only compatible with version 6 PV Plus units. Theses two are both version 5.
Is there anything we can do to the PanelViews to allow us to download the .mer file from Factory Talk Studio version 8.2?
I have an old Factory Talk version 5.1 installation CD. Will the license that they purchased along with Factory Talk Studio version 8.2 apply to an installation of that?
I can obtain and post the actual part numbers from the PanelView units as well as the version information from FactoryTalk Studio if necessary.
