Hey guys,
I've got a customer with quite a few 9" Quick Panel QPI-3 monochrome displays. I'm trying to replace one of them with a spare, and I found the projects on all the old laptops don't match what is in use on the HMI.
What I've tried:
starting with Windows XP VM & Proficy ME 7.0
started with a Radwell HMI-CAB-C49-SUB and a usb to serial adapter. I was able to download to the spare screen before realizing the program wasn't identical, and wasn't able to upload.
took my computer back to the shop with the new screen and figured out I couldn't upload what I had just downloaded (even with store project selected). found some info on these forums that pointed to the PLCCable.com adapter.
purchased the adapter (GPW-CB03a), but also used a VM created from the customers old programming laptop, so I've got access to Quick Builder 3.7, ME 7.0, and now I've installed ME 9.8 on my host computer. ME and quick builder will download to the unit but not upload, and ME 9.8 will not download as it gets part way and says the compiled project is too large for the HMI's memory.
The Quick Designer software gets stuck on “Turn OFF the display device” (no amount of time powered off changes this message)
ME 9.8 "starting upload form quickpanel; com port opened successfully; Error changing baud rate"
ME 7.0 is similiar.
anyone have any ideas?
thanks!
