Posted 15 Dec 2015 I’ve got a quick question regarding programs that get loaded onto the PanelView Plus products. Let’s say I download a Runtime app from a PanelView, convert it into an .apa, and then need to recompile it into a Runtime app and downloaded it back to the HMI. Is there anyway, either through the PanelView or the program which I convert, to find out what its particular software compile version is? I’m trying to figure this out to put into a quick guide for myself and our company field service techs to avoid the pitfall of accidentally compiling a program with the wrong version. Any advice from the group is much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Dec 2015 (edited) i dont know if there is a way to tell the software compile version but the PV+ terminal will display the firmware version when it is powered up. You can not download and run a different version of application unless you update the firmware. I don't know if you can accidentally compile a application and download unless you purposely update the firmware of the terminal .Let say you have a application compiled in FTV version 6.0 , you can't download the FTV version 5.0 or 7.0 and run it unless you update the firmware version to 5.0 or 7.0 of the PV + terminal ....

Posted 16 Dec 2015 Once you have uploaded the program from the PanelView and restored the run-time and then go to open it in FactoryTalkView Studio it will tell you the version it was last opened with (the version it was written with).

Posted 16 Dec 2015 Thanks to all, both of those are reasonable solutions to my question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
