How to Upload HITECH HMI Program with ADP6 Software - Communication Timeout Issue解 Thank you for the assistance!

Question:

Hello everyone, I am currently dealing with the HITECH HMI Model PWS6600S-S and I need to upload an application to my PC. I have already installed the ADP6 HMI software on my computer. I attempted to use the ADP V6.7 software and an RS232 cable to connect the old HMI for uploading the application. However, I encountered a communication timeout issue. Can someone please explain what this means and provide me with detailed instructions or a video tutorial on how to correctly upload the application? Thank you for your assistance.

For a detailed guide on troubleshooting HMI errors, refer to the WEG PWS6300 and PWS6600 quick guides available for download in English. The guide provides a step-by-step solution to common cable errors, including a pin-out diagram for reference. If you're experiencing issues, it's likely the cable causing the problem. Have you previously used this cable successfully? For further assistance, please contact us.

I have successfully used the same cable on another machine without any issues. However, I am now facing a challenge with an HMI program that was created in 2009 by a different programmer who no longer has a backup copy. I am currently working with ADP6.10 software, but I am unsure if this is the correct version for the HMI program. Can you advise if I should be using a different or updated version for compatibility?

Hey there, did you manage to find a solution to your problem? I'm facing the same issue at the moment. Best regards.

For optimal performance, consider using either version 6.12 or 6.16. These versions are known for their reliability and functionality.

Hi there, a communication timeout issue typically means that the software cannot establish a stable connection to the HMI device. This could be due to a faulty RS232 cable, incompatible software version, or incorrect configuration settings. Have you checked if your cable is in working condition and matches your HMI model’s requirements? Regarding your request for a detailed guide or tutorial, I'd recommend checking the official HITECH website or their YouTube channel. They usually have walkthroughs for such procedures. Alternatively, you could get in touch with HITECH's support team for more personalized help.

Hi there! It sounds like you've done a considerable amount of work so far. The communication timeout issue you're encountering is typically due to a failure in the connection between your PC and the HMI device. Possible reasons could be incorrect port configuration, faulty cable or even driver issues. As for a step-by-step guide, sadly I'm not aware of a detailed video for your particular model. However, the process usually involves selecting the right COM port in your software, ensuring your RS232 settings match with the PC and HMI, and finally hitting the upload button. If the problem persists, you might want to try a different RS232 cable, or checking if your HMI device requires a null-modem connection. Hope this helps!

Hey there! It sounds like you're running into a communication issue, which can be pretty frustrating. A timeout often means that the software is having trouble establishing a proper connection with the HMI, possibly due to incorrect settings or a faulty cable. First, double-check your COM port settings in the ADP6 software to ensure they match the settings on your HMI. You might also want to try using a different RS232 cable, as sometimes they can be finicky. If you haven't already, some users find success by ensuring that both devices are powered on and that the HMI is in the correct mode for uploading files. As for tutorials, I’d recommend checking YouTube for specific model guides—it’s likely someone has shared a step-by-step video that could really help you out. Good luck!

It sounds like you're having quite the challenge with that HMI! A communication timeout usually indicates that the software is having trouble establishing a connection with the HMI, often due to incorrect settings like baud rate or the wrong COM port being selected. Make sure the COM port settings in your ADP software match the settings on the HMI. Also, double-check your RS232 cable for any issues, as a faulty cable can cause these problems too. If you're still stuck, I recommend looking for a video tutorial on YouTube that walks through the upload process step-by-step for the PWS6600S-S; it can often help clarify any missed details. Good luck!
