There are a couple of questionable items in your post. Panel View is an Allen Bradley product. The GE product is called Quick Panel. However, GE purchased the Quick Panel line from Total Control Products several years ago. I do not recognize the model number ES0601. The part number IC754VSI06MTD is a GE part number for a 6" monochrome Quick Panel HMI. Programs from an Allen Bradley Panel View can not be transferred to a GE Quick Panel. For the new HMI you will need Proficy Machine Edition software available from the same place where you purchased the HMI. To extract the project file from the original HMI, the original programmer must have included a "project recovery file" when he/she programmed it. It is also possible that the original HMI was programmed using a software package called Quick Designer. Your GE distributor should be able to get it for you if necessary. If it was programmed with Quick Designer, the original programmer must have chosen to store the project file on the HMI when he/she downloaded the runtime file.

If the new unit is a QuickPanel View IC754VSI06MTD as well as the old one you are replacing a broken unit with an obsolete unit. The latest replacement for this is a 6" Color unit IC755CxS06RDx, see this for more information, (under $1k) less money too. Uses the same Proficy ME View Software, but you may need the latest version. The bad news is that if the original was done by an OEM there is about a 33% chance that either the program cannot be uploaded out of the unit or it is password protected. Do you know who originally did it and the status of that?
