Hi gents, recently upgraded to PME 9.8 and having a lot of issues with a pre-existing line file. The PAC View Integrated OPC program has been going haywire. I followed the PDF instructions for clean uninstall and reinstall but these issues are persisting. Worried the new version is bug ridden but I bet there are some things new to me I'm overlooking in dealing with these issues. I wanted to ask around and see if anyone knows what is going on and could aid direction.
Firstmost, my current file on download is suddenly having download issues stating error 4380 I'm trying to research. It seems like if I update the variable references list...this goes away after a few tries slowly alleviating a few of them at a time but it seems very buggy to me. I'm aware the CONFIG is not equal, this stems from changing an analog card to an input card that was not being used in slot 10. The card removed utilized none of these IO points and logic was never changed, just hardware so this issue should be independent.
Also, the OPC driver issues in my quickpanel target have been disappearing from my program when connected. When I redownload what is on rack, I can't even open the OPC driver configurations. Every time they open, they instantly close and I have confirmed no stuck keys or issues with my keyboard. That configuration window just instantly crashes and closes.
Furthermore, the OPC configuration software is just constantly updating and loading to where I can't even view the file, view or tools tab. It also generates a variables not found error which possibly is something I'm overlooking regarding a .snf file or from the upgrade and reimporting things, a particular data file I need to export or import perhaps? Not sure, my OPC software knowledge outside KEpware is limited though I'm aware the PAC one is probably a shell of that.
Last but not least, sometimes when I'm trying to save, I keep getting this server busy icon that crashes PME sometimes. This all stems from the OPC software. Thing has my computer loading like crazy and buffering. The second I task manager end it, my computer frees up and operates. Since I need it for this quickpanel access tho....not too sure what my course of action should be. I'm wondering if I can uninstall and clean install OPC without doing it to PME or if that order would corrupt things. Trying to avoid hours worth of clean installing.
Emerson also advised this issue fix:

but it did not solve any issues. Anyway, perhaps there is something I'm overlooking or someone is familiar with these problems. Any advisement is greatly appreciated, thanks!
