Troubleshooting Error Opening HMI Backup File with Weintek Easybuilder Pro Software

Question:

Hello, I am experiencing difficulties opening a HMI backup file that was given to me by the OEM using Easybuilder Pro software. I'm using a cMT-FHDX-820 (headless HMI) unit and encountering an error when attempting to open the file in Easybuilder. Can you suggest any alternative software to access the file? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently utilizing version 6.09.01. The file has been sent to you via email.

I attempted to open the file using multiple editions of EB Pro without success. I recommend reaching out to Weintek support and sharing the file with them to determine if they are able to access it. If you are unable to open the file, seeking assistance from Weintek support may be necessary.

Sure, I understand how frustrating such issues can be. It seems like a compatibility problem between your version of EasyBuilder Pro and the backup file. I'd first suggest trying to see if there's an update available for your software; it could be as simple as needing to patch to a newer version. If that doesn't work, you may want to consider using other third-party HMI software such as WinCC or Ignition. They have good compatibility ranges and maybe they could help access your file. Don't forget to always save or backup your work though just in case.

Hi there, sorry to hear about your difficulties. While Easybuilder Pro is generally pretty efficient with handling HMI backup files, I understand your situation. You might want to check out InTouch Machine Edition by Wonderware - it's pretty robust with handling such backups. Don't forget to ensure your software is up-to-date and your device drivers are installed properly, as these issues can also occasionally cause problems with opening specific file types. I hope this helps, and I'd be happy to assist further if you need more information.

Hey there, sorry to hear you're having trouble with that. The cMT-FHDX-820 typically pairs well with Easybuilder Pro, so it's strange you're encountering issues. Have you tried updating your software? Sometimes, older versions can have compatibility problems. As for alternative software, VTScada by Trihedral is another popular choice for HMI, though compatibility may vary depending on the structure and complexity of the backup file you have. Good luck!

It sounds frustrating to deal with file compatibility issues! While Easybuilder Pro is the standard for these HMIs, you might want to check if the OEM can provide a different version of the file that’s compatible with your setup. Alternatively, if you can access an older version of Easybuilder Pro or even try reaching out to their support team, they might have insights on how to resolve this error. In the meantime, you might explore using any generic HMI software that supports .hmi files, but results can vary greatly depending on the file format. Good luck!

Hey there! I've heard that sometimes using an older version of Easybuilder Pro can help with compatibility issues, so you might want to try that first if you haven't yet. Alternatively, you could also look into using the cMT Viewer app if the backup file format is supported—it might give you a different way to access the information. If all else fails, reaching out to your OEM for support could be a good move, as they might have specific tools or updates for your unit. Good luck!

It sounds like you're going through a frustrating experience! Have you tried using the latest version of EasyBuilder Pro? Sometimes compatibility issues can arise with older versions. If that doesn’t work, you might consider reaching out to the OEM for support or checking if they can provide a different file format. Additionally, depending on the complexity of your HMI project, some users have found success by accessing the file through a different HMI hardware or emulation tools, so it might be worth exploring those options as well!

It sounds frustrating to run into that issue! If EasyBuilder Pro isn’t working for you, you might want to try using the latest version of EasyBuilder Pro, as compatibility can sometimes be a problem with older versions. Also, make sure that the backup file type is fully supported by your cMT-FHDX-820; sometimes, OEMs use specific formats or configurations. If that doesn't help, consider reaching out to the OEM for any software or converters they might recommend for accessing the file. Good luck!
