I am encountering difficulties uploading my program from the 90/30 CPU331, as I keep receiving an error message (Error 8262) while trying to transfer the logic file _MAIN.pdt. It appears that the configuration has been uploaded successfully, despite some differences in hardware configuration. The original program was likely created using VersaPro software, although I am currently using version 10.1.9647 of Proficy Machine Edition. The CPU firmware version is 8.21, which is supposed to be compatible with PME.
If you're interested in trying out Logicmaster for uploading purposes, simply message me your email address. With version 8.2 firmware, it could have been programmed using either Logicmaster or VersaPro. I've already uploaded LM90 to my Google Drive and can easily add you to the shared list. In case Logicmaster doesn't function properly, I can also provide the VersaPro CD for upload.
Steve Bailey is offering assistance with uploading using Logicmaster. To give it a try, send him a private message with your email address. With version 8.2 firmware, programming can be done with either Logicmaster or VersaPro. Steve has already uploaded LM90 to his Google Drive and can add you to the share list. If Logicmaster isn't successful, he can provide the VersaPro CD. If LM90 doesn't work, Steve will update you on the situation regarding VersaPro. Thank you.
Steve Bailey mentioned that if you want to attempt uploading using Logicmaster, please send him a private message containing your email address. With version 8.2 firmware, it was possible to program it with either Logicmaster or VersaPro. He has already uploaded LM90 to his Google drive and will include you in the sharing list. If Logicmaster is not successful, he can also upload the VersaPro CD. However, there was an issue with uploading LM90. While the Hardware Config could be uploaded, an error occurred when trying to upload the Logic, indicating an incomplete program folder. It may be necessary to reload or restore the logic to resolve this issue.
I may have spoken too soon, but on the third attempt, I successfully uploaded using LM90. I am now hoping to transition to PME smoothly without encountering any problems.
If you are encountering connectivity issues when using a USB/serial converter, you may be experiencing a common problem that arises without a real serial port on your computer. This can lead to intermittent disconnections, particularly when uploading or downloading programs in software like Logicmaster. To resolve this issue, consider transitioning to Proficy by creating a new project and importing the Logicmaster project file, including both logic and hardware configurations. This simple switch can help maintain a stable connection and improve overall performance.
It seems like you've taken all the correct steps so far. However, given that the original program likely was created using VersaPro, you could be facing some issues due to the differences between the old and new software. Proficy Machine Edition might not be recognizing some portions of the logic file. You might want to try converting the VersaPro project to PME (ensure to take a backup first!). Additionally, while firmware 8.21 should technically be compatible with that PME version, it wouldn't hurt to update your CPU firmware to the latest version. General Electric updates the firmware fairly frequently and the newest update may resolve your issue.
It seems like you're having a tough time. I've encountered this issue before, and it typically arises due to a compatibility mismatch between your software and the hardware. Since Proficy Machine Edition and VersaPro software don't always communicate seamlessly, the migration of your program could be causing the error you're seeing. You might want to try recompiling the program in PME after making sure every element in the hardware configuration matches the setup on the 90/30 CPU. Doing so may rule out any discrepancies caused by the transition from VersaPro to PME, and should enable you to upload your program more successfully.
It sounds like you're running into a compatibility issue between the older VersaPro software and your current version of Proficy Machine Edition. Error 8262 generally relates to discrepancies in the program or configuration files. Have you tried checking for any firmware updates or ensuring that your logic file is fully compatible with PME? Also, consider downloading the latest hardware configuration from the PLC before uploading the program—it might clear up any inconsistencies. If all else fails, sometimes recreating the logic in PME from scratch can resolve underlying issues. Good luck!

Answer: 1. What does Error 8262 mean when uploading a logic file to the 90/30 CPU331? - Error 8262 indicates a problem encountered during the transfer of the logic file _MAIN.pdt to the CPU331.
Answer: - To resolve Error 8262, ensure compatibility between the software versions used for creating the program and the one being currently used for uploading (e.g., VersaPro vs. Proficy Machine Edition).
Answer: - Differences in hardware configuration may occur due to changes in the software versions or settings between the original creation of the program and the current upload process using a different software version.
Answer: - Yes, the CPU firmware version 8.21 is supposed to be compatible with PME, but ensure that all software versions are compatible and up-to-date to avoid any compatibility issues.
