Posted 13 Mar 2016 hi all, i need help with EXTER T150 HMI urgently we had two panels before and we replaced them with new panels but when we copied the project file to the flash card the panels don't seem to be able to recognize them, im not familiar with that type of HMI but the project file consists of folders and files not a single " .cap" or ".dat" file i checked the manuals but it seem to have something with a software called IX, i need someone with experience to clarify this point to me thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Mar 2016 What panels did you have before? I'm pretty sure you can use E-Designer7 for the T150, but we don't use the same names for the HMIs in Norway (we have "Beijer" and not "Exter" terminals). In any way; how could you copy/paste the project from/to a flash card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 14 Mar 2016 It sounds like you may have the actual project files (source code) do you have a file ending in .cpa and a folder that contains images and a driver configuration file. for example... 1 x text file called - "Machine_1_V2.cpa" 1 x folder called - "Machine_1_V2-Files" (same name as above but with "-Files" appended to it) If so you have the project files that can be loaded into Beijer information Designer (I-Designer). Once loaded you can create you own *.dat file to put on your flash card (or just program the HMI directly using the software). http://beijerinc.com/product/information-designer/ Alternately if you do not have I-Designer you could post it on this forum (or just to me) me and I will create one for you. However if you have a project and one of the folders has 50+ files with the extension "DLL" inside the main folder. Then this is probably an IX project for a different HMI 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I HAVE INFORMATION DESIGNER SOFTWARE BUT THERE ARE NO .CAP OR .DAT FILES, I GUESS IT'S " ix" TYPE..i tried to upgrade the HMI system files to " ix " but it seems to need a license or special service technique because it's not accepting to be upgraded to " ix" ..only upgrade within the same system files type Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will need to create one. If you actually show us what files you have we will be better able to help you (otherwise we are just guessing). Can you upload the files you have for us to see? - or take a screen shot of the files you are talking about. Edited 15 Mar 2016 by Nightfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
