View Designer PanelView 5310 Beginner Question

4 posts in this topic

I have a PanelView 5310 running a project called "Revision A."  I made a small change to the project and saved it as "Revision B." I downloaded my new project to the HMI, but upon the next reboot, the HMI ran "Revision A."  Does the HMI store older projects and does the desired startup project need to specified somehow?

I will store multiple projects.  When you create the mer and then do the transfer, there is a radio button for "Replace Communications".  Make sure that's turned on and then download.  After reboot, Rev B should show up.

FT View Studio has a check box for "run on startup". Does View Designer combine that into the "replace communications" option?

I actually am using View Designer.  I should have included that on the original post. 

Under Communications -> Download, I see a 3 step dialog:

1. Specify Destination and Language

2. Controller Reference (which begs another beginner question *)

3. Download

*Why does the Logix Project file point to a location on the machine builder's hard drive?
