We are currently struggling with a large PanelView application that we have recently updated with a significant amount of additional content. Unfortunately, we are encountering difficulties when attempting to download the updated version to the PanelView, as the existing MER file is 13.5 megabytes and is occupying all available space on the device. The PanelView is equipped with a 128 megabyte compact flash card and memory chip. Has anyone else faced this issue before? We are considering replacing the 128 megabyte compact flash card with a larger one to resolve this storage limitation.
If you're experiencing memory low errors during operation, it may be time for a RAM memory upgrade. The RAM on your device is running low and needs to be increased to accommodate files, applications, and Windows CE overhead. While the CF card's size determines file storage capacity, RAM is essential for overall performance. Consider upgrading to higher quality RAM for improved performance. Contact AB for options to upgrade your RAM.
Unfortunately, an error occurs every time we attempt to download an updated version of the application to the PanelView. As a result, we must first delete the existing file on the PanelView before continuing with the download process.
While it may be a downer, it's worth mentioning how utilizing standard industrial PCs such as panelmount, NEMA 4X, and touchscreen models can help prevent unnecessary complications for others. These types of industrial PCs can effectively protect against common issues and ensure smooth operations.
Surferb highlighted the importance of utilizing standard industrial PCs, such as panelmount, NEMA 4X, and touchscreen models, to avoid potential issues in the future. Despite unexpected expansion, the decision to use these PCs was not made consciously. Can anyone share their experience and solutions for increasing capacity in similar situations?
A user inquired about standard industrial PCs, specifically mentioning panel mount, NEMA 4X, and touchscreen features. They were curious about the operating system these PCs run on. The user mentioned discarding several industrial PCs this year due to instability issues with Windows XP, prompting them to switch to a more stable operating system.
I can definitely relate to the storage issues with PanelView applications. I had a similar experience where I had to clear out old projects and unused files just to make space for updates. Replacing the 128 MB compact flash card with a larger one sounds like a solid plan, but be sure to check the PanelView model's compatibility with bigger cards first. Also, consider looking into any unnecessary applications or data that can be removed to free up space before making a purchase. Good luck!
I've run into similar issues with PanelView applications, especially when adding a lot of content. Before investing in a larger compact flash card, you might want to check if there are any unneeded files or older versions of your MER files that can be deleted to clear up some space. Sometimes, clearing the cache or optimizing your application can also help reduce its size. If all else fails, upgrading the CF card sounds like a solid plan—just make sure the new card is compatible with your device!
