Posted 31 Jan 2020 Hello, can you help me with the following issue: I want to transfer the program/data from an old E1043 HMI to a new one. Tried with HMI Tools File transfer, the connection is established but after initialization and loading I am getting an "Error:Read directory failed." Connection made by serial cable-serial cable / serial cable-USB, result is the same in both cases. Is there something to check in order to make the transfer? Can I use E-designer for this purpose, and, if yes, how? Any suggestion could be helpful. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Jan 2020 Probably wrong cable.... Think you need a CAB 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Feb 2020 @Ron_S I think you mean the old CAB-5, but that was used for the E100 series. The easiest cable to use is the Ethernet cable for the E1000 series. It must be a crossed cable if it's a direct connection between the pc and panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
