I am facing issues with downloading to the physical HMI using Designer 8.02 software. Despite successful changes on the emulator communicating with the PLC, the download button remains disabled for the PV5500 firmware 4.002. Can anyone provide insights or advice on resolving this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ben.
It appears there may be a compatibility issue with the PV5500 firmware version. The PV5500 is only compatible with firmware up to 4.0xx, as it has been discontinued for some time now. The current replacements for the PV5500 are the PV5510 and PV5310 models. To use View Designer V8, the firmware on the PV device must match the View Designer software version being used, which is not possible with the PV5500 and V8. I have successfully transferred projects from V6 on PV5310 and PV5510 to V8 by converting the V6 files to V8. This lack of backwards compatibility suggests that further information may be needed from another source.
Hi Ben, it sounds like you might be experiencing a compatibility issue between the Designer 8.02 software and PV5500 firmware 4.002. It could also be a bug within the software.

Sometimes, it's the simplest fixes that make all the difference. Keep us posted on your progress.
