When the customer turns off the machine and then turns it back on, the HMI display remains stuck on "Starting Application." If you encounter this issue and try to save Studio 5000 online, you may encounter error messages similar to those detailed in this technical note:
Absolutely! I was in shock when I finally got mine working. Initially, my HMIs were running on v9, which made my situation even worse. Only when I updated one of them to v12 did the application finally load, but I encountered CIP route errors when uploading tags. Surprisingly, the upgrade to v12 didn't resolve the issue, but upgrading the CPU (specifically, our 5069-L310ERS2 model) to v33 did the trick. I discovered that by creating a UDT through online editing and utilizing it in the program, then cycling power on the machine, I would encounter CIP route errors. While I cannot guarantee that upgrading the CPU alone will solve your issue, I can confirm that there were no issues between v33 and v12. I hope this information proves helpful to you!
Although this issue began a while ago, I am experiencing the same problem. My idea is to increase the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from 32.011 to 32.014 instead of 33. However, my current Control Flash programs are not advanced enough to make this change, so they also require an upgrade. It seems that complexity is always present in the world of Rockwell.
I am experiencing the same issue with my Controller V32 and FTV V12. Despite seeking help from ROCKWELL Support, I have yet to find a solution. As the machine is ready for shipment to the US, I am feeling lost and turned to online searches for answers. Here are some key details regarding the problem: 1. The system does not recover after restarting the PLC or HMI. 2. Occasionally, going online with FTV or pressing the "play" button helps in recovering. 3. Compiling and downloading the FTV project to the HMI has also led to recovery. 4. There was one instance where it recovered on its own after 24 hours. 5. Downloading the latest firmware to the HMI took an unusually long time, hinting at a potential network issue. I am looking to prepare a V33 software/firmware for installation on-site. If anyone has any other suggestions or ideas, please share them as the project deadline is approaching quickly. Your input is greatly appreciated. Greetings from Germany.
Is there any involvement of managed switches in this scenario?
We have not experienced this issue since updating to version 33.
Yes, I've experienced a similar issue before. For me, it was caused by a mismatch between the HMI application version and the version running on the PLC. Double-check to ensure the versions are in sync. Also, if you're constantly making changes to your tags and alarms, try to do a "Clean all" before a download. This forces the HMI to remove any residual data that may be causing conflicts. Just follow it up with a reboot afterwards.
Indeed, I have encountered this issue in the past while working with the HMI display. At first, it was definitely perplexing but over time, I discovered that this problem tends to arise due to application overload or sometimes due to a software bug. A temporary fix is indeed to restore the display as mentioned in the technical note, but for a long-term solution, it might be worthwhile to monitor and manage the application load or look into possible software updates or patches. However, if there's a recurring pattern, it could signify a larger problem with the hardware that might need expert attention. I do hope Rockwell Automation looks deeper into these concerns for a more sustainable solution.
I've definitely run into that "Starting Application" hang-up before! It's really frustrating, especially when you try to upload tags or save the project and get hit with all those CIP error messages. I found that after rebuilding and downloading the project, things usually start working again, but like you mentioned, it leaves you wondering what exactly caused it in the first place. Sometimes it feels like it could be a communication glitch or a temporary issue with memory allocation on the PLC. It makes me double-check the configurations or any recent changes too. Have you noticed any specific patterns leading to these errors in your setups?
I've run into a similar issue before, and it can be quite frustrating! From my experience, this sometimes happens due to a communication glitch or a corrupt project file. Rebuilding the project usually does help, but I've also tried checking for updates or inconsistencies in the firmware and HMI settings, just in case. It might not pinpoint the root cause, but keeping everything consistent often prevents the problem from recurring. Have you tried any other troubleshooting steps that worked?

Answer: Answer: If your HMI display is stuck on "Starting Application" in FT Studio 5000, you may encounter error messages such as "Failed tag information upload" and "PLC Save Error: Address offset out of range." You can try rebuilding and downloading the project as a troubleshooting step to resolve these errors.
Answer: Answer: Errors in FT Studio 5000 related to CIP and IP address issues, such as "Failed tag information upload on route cip=
Answer: Answer: If you encounter a PLC Save Error in FT Studio 5000 with the message "Error 732-80044402 - Data upload did not complete. CIP Error: Address offset out of range," you can try rebuilding and downloading the project to fix the error and restore the display functionality.
