Hi, I'm really new to the GE PLC's and QuickPanel Views, so I would like a little help.
We have installed VersamaxPLC's Versamax Extended IO and QuickPanel Views (IC754Vxx12Cxx).
And I've a backup file (zipped) that contains two files one is *.SwxCF and the other is a *.varCF.
The problem is that I'm getting an alarm on the QP that is not on the PLC, so I'm guessing the program on the QP might be wrong.
What I want (and need) to do is to connect with the QP and upload the program to the Proficy, get online and see where this alarm is coming from. But I've never used the Proficy before, and I can't figure out how to upload the program. When I open the Proficy it ask me for a new project and a target (which I assume is my QP) and then I write the IP of the QP (I'm trying to use a TCP/IP connection) and set the ethernet configuration of my PC on the same net (the icon of the PC states that I'm connected) but I can't see the QP from the Proficy (I'm not sure I doing the things correctly on the Proficy) but I also can't ping the QP IP address from the PC (using a ping command).
So, I'm really los there, can someone help me??
Thanks.
Juan
