How to Upload a Backup File from PanelView 5510: Unique Process and Transfer Troubleshooting

Question:

Looking for guidance on how to upload a backup file from PV 5510? This model appears to have a unique process compared to other PanelViews. The transfer utility in FT Studio is unable to detect any internal storage. It seems like a file was downloaded onto it before, as a program is currently running. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Although they share a similar name, Panelview 5510 does not belong to the traditional Panelview [Plus] series. These devices are configured using Studio 5000 View Designer, providing users with the capability to effortlessly transfer the program.

Understood. Thank you for the information.

Do I require a separate license for this?

If you work with Control/Compact Logix PLCs and use Studio 5000, you already have access to this feature.

Additionally, if you have the ability to navigate the configuration menu on the PV5000, you can transfer the *.VPDR file onto an SD card or USB drive for easy access. It is worth noting that unlike the PV+, the PV5000 does not automatically execute Windows batch files. Therefore, you will not be able to employ this method to transfer the Runtime files onto a USB stick without accessing the configuration screens.

It seems like you're on the right track, but PV 5510 does indeed have its quirks. It could be that the transfer utility you're using isn't compatible. I'd suggest checking if you have the latest version of FT Studio, as they often provide patches for such issues. Remember to install the correct drivers for the PanelView. If you've tried all this, you might also want to explore using an external storage device, like a USB, especially if the internal storage isn't detectable. Copy the backup file onto the USB and then try uploading from there. Good luck!
