Are you looking to upload a program from your PLC to your laptop, or download a program from your laptop to your PLC? Once I understand your goal, I can provide you with some solutions. It seems like the Micro(820) program was created with a more recent version of CCW. I recommend updating CCW to the newest version as a first step.

I am currently attempting to transfer the program from the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to my laptop. My laptop is equipped with CCW version 13, while the controller is running on version 12.

When attempting to upload a program to a PLC, compatibility issues may arise if the program was created using a newer version of CCW. For example, if the PLC program was created with CCW version 20, attempting to upload it using version 13 may not be successful. To ensure successful upload and conversion of any version, it is recommended to use the latest version of CCW, such as version 22.

I want to express my gratitude for your assistance, sir! I successfully managed to upload my file after upgrading my CCW software to version 22.

Thank you for sharing this information with the forum.

It sounds like you're running into a compatibility issue between CCW 13 and the Micro 820 controller’s firmware version 12. Have you tried checking if there’s a newer firmware update available for the controller? Additionally, you might want to look into the communication settings and make sure everything is configured correctly. Sometimes, re-establishing the connection or even restarting your software can help clear up these kinds of errors. If all else fails, reverting to CCW 12 for that specific upload might be a temporary workaround.
