Hello Everyone, I am facing an issue with uploading an application from an old HMI PWS6600S to another HMI. Despite setting SW7 to On and using ADP V6.7 software with an RS232 cable to connect the old HMI, I am experiencing a communication timeout error. Could someone please explain what this means and provide clear instructions on resolving this issue? Alternatively, a video tutorial on how to upload applications for HMI Hitech PWS6600S would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
Hello, I need assistance with uploading an old program from a HITECH PWS6600-S HMI to my PC. I am experiencing difficulties in completing this task. Can someone provide guidance on the correct procedure for uploading the program? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Discover which COM port the PC cable is connected to on the HMI device. Upon booting into the system menu, navigate to Confg to ensure the port is enabled and configured as the Download/Upload/Copy port. Navigate to the port configuration page using PgUp/PgDn, and verify the communication parameters without making any changes. Make sure these parameters match in the ADP Options>Transmission Setup. You should then be able to upload by selecting File>Upload Application, unless it is password-protected. If a password is required, it must be entered on the HMI within 10 seconds. A .AA6 file will be generated on the PC upon successful upload, which can be decompiled into a .V6F project file using File>Reconstruct source. Verify if your ADP version supports the project at this stage. It is recommended to enable "Auto-compile before downloading" in Options>Editing options. Feel free to ask more questions and good luck with the process.
Hello, I am encountering an issue while trying to upload an "Application file" in my HMI program, which was originally built in 2009. I have selected communication port 2 in both the device and HMI Config page. However, when attempting to "Reconstruct," an error message pops up saying "Unfortunately, windows has stopped working," and the program exits when I click ok. I am currently using ADP 6.10 version. Could this be a software version compatibility issue?
I believe the issue is not related to the version, as they are designed to be compatible with older versions. Please refer to the personal message for more information.
Troubleshooting HiTech HMI to PC Communication Cable Connection Hello Troizky, I trust this message finds you in good health. I recently received a concern regarding the connectivity of a HiTech HMI system in my company. Could you please provide me with information on how to establish the connection between a HiTech HMI and a PC? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Warm regards, Asad
Hi there! It sounds like you're grappling with a tricky HMI transfer issue. Although it could be attributed to various factors, one thing you might consider is checking the baud rate and other communication settings. They should match on both your devices and ADP software. The communication timeout error could mean that your devices aren’t communicating correctly or, perhaps, there's a delay in the response time. Also, check the settings on SW1 to SW6. It’s worth noting that RS232 cables, especially older or damaged ones, can sometimes cause communication hiccups too. Although I'm unable to provide a video tutorial, this thread may be a good place to compile useful step-by-step instructions from different users. Hope this helps, and you get your application up and running soon!
Hi there, it appears you may be experiencing a serial data communication issue. Usually the timeout error indicates the software is not receiving a response from the HMI within an expected time-frame, which could be due to an incorrect COM port setting, incorrect communication parameters, or a faulty cable/connection. With regard to SW7, it should indeed be set to On for upload/download mode on the HMI, but do check other switches too which may have an impact. Also, ensure you're using the right communication driver in ADP software and verify the COM port number in the device manager of your PC. As for a video tutorial, I don't have one handy but there's a lot of documentation and troubleshooting guides available online for Hitech PWS6600S which may help you further.
Hey there! It sounds frustrating to deal with that timeout error. First, double-check your cable connections to ensure they’re secure, as a loose connection could lead to communication issues. Also, verify that the communication settings in ADP match those of the HMI, especially the baud rate and parity. If you haven’t already, try restarting both the HMI and your computer as well—sometimes a simple reset can do wonders. As for a video tutorial, I found a few helpful ones on YouTube that walk through the upload process for HMI PWS6600S; they might give you some visual guidance. Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted soon!
Hey there! It sounds like you're having a frustrating time with that upload. The communication timeout error usually means that the connection isn’t stable or that the settings between the two HMIs aren’t perfectly aligned. Have you double-checked that both devices are set to the same baud rate and that the RS232 cable is firmly connected? Sometimes even a small loose connection can cause these issues. If you haven’t already, try using a different cable, or it may help to reboot both devices before attempting the upload again. As for a video tutorial, the manufacturer’s website or dedicated forums often have great resources, so that could be a good place to check too! Good luck!
Hey! It sounds like you're running into a frustrating situation. The communication timeout error often indicates that the software isn't able to establish a proper link with the HMI. First, double-check that your RS232 cable is functioning properly and that there are no bent pins. Also, confirm that the baud rate and other serial settings in ADP match those of the HMI. If you haven't already, try different COM ports on your PC as well. For video tutorials, checking platforms like YouTube can be super helpful—just search "PWS6600S upload application tutorial," and you might find something tailored to your needs. Good luck, and I hope you get it sorted out soon!
