I successfully followed the conversion process from RSView32 to FactoryTalk View as outlined in the Rockwell Automation documentation. However, when I reached the final step and clicked "Finish" to begin the project import, an error occurred. Please refer to the image linked below. Can someone provide assistance with resolving this issue?
I am currently using RSView32 version 7.6FT for my HMI needs, but I do not have a license for FT View SE 8.1 yet. I am awaiting Rockwell's assistance in obtaining the necessary license. However, I do not believe that the lack of a license should hinder the process of importing a new HMI Server.
ID: BF14121 | Required Access Level: TechConnect offers recommendations, however, a TechConnect contract is necessary. ID: QA50852 | Required Access Level: Anyone can access with just a free account. Review these options to see if they are applicable to your situation.
To troubleshoot the issue, refer to the technical note highlighting various potential causes. Consider upgrading to the latest version of FT View software, such as Version 13, to resolve any issues.
Thank you for your feedback. It seems that the problem lies in the incomplete installation of FactoryTalk Enterprise. The installation process can be cumbersome as you are required to install each FT View application individually, rather than as a bundle. This can lead to errors in the installation process.
Upgraded versions of software streamline the installation process by automatically identifying and installing the required components tailored to the computer's specific functionalities.
Sure, I'd be happy to help. It appears your error could be due to a variety of factors. Sometimes, it's as simple as certain files not properly converting or compatibility issues with your system. I'd recommend you review each step of the process once again to ensure accuracy. If the issue persists, try to reinstall FactoryTalk View, which has solved similar problems for some users. If none of these work, sharing the exact error message would be helpful in figuring out what might be causing this to happen.
Certainly, I'd be happy to help with your issue. Based on the screenshot you posted, it seems like there might be some issue with the tag import process. Have you tried manually importing the tags? If not, please try that. Also, ensure your FactoryTalk View software is updated - sometimes conversion errors are simply due to outdated software. If you've attempted this and are still grappling with the problem, it might be beneficial to reach out to Rockwell's support. They would probably have a good understanding of these conversion issues and can assist you more quickly.
From the error message in the image you’ve shared, it could be that some of the adequacies of RSView32 aren't properly supported in FactoryTalk View, leading to the import failure. You might want to cross-check the project features used in RSView32 against the FactoryTalk View compatibility list in the Rockwell Automation documentation. If you still experience difficulties, consider reaching out to Rockwell's technical support for a detailed walkthrough. Their support is usually very thorough with these sort of migration issues.
From the error message in the image, it looks like there might be a component or file missing which is causing the import operation to fail. I'd suggest checking your migration log for any components that failed to convert or weren't found. Also, try verifying if all the necessary software updates and patches have been installed. If the problem persists, reaching out to Rockwell Automation's Customer Support directly might provide a faster resolution. They are usually quite responsive with these technical glitches.
It sounds frustrating to run into an error right at the finish line! Have you checked the compatibility of your RSView32 project files with the FactoryTalk version you're using? Sometimes, discrepancies in versioning can cause issues during the import process. Also, double-check your import settings; it might help to re-validate the paths and any configurations you’ve set up. If you haven’t already, reaching out to Rockwell’s support or forums with specific error codes can also yield helpful insights from others who’ve faced similar challenges.
