PanelviewPlus /Compact Logix
PanelviewPlus /Compact Logix
(OP)
I have a package unit with a panelview plus HMI and compact logix plc. What I would like to accomplish is add 40 I/O points,compact logic plc , and capability to see on existing HMI + 1 new remote PC.
I have used RSview on a PC before but I don't have much experience with Panelview plus. My experience with RSview is using it on a Pc at 1 location only.
Is it possible to upload existing application from panelview to PC then make changes and download back to panelview? Or do I have to go back to contractor who installed HMI to get panelview program?
Does anyone have HMI software they like to work with when using PLC's from multiple vendors?

As JDE777 mentioned, firmware may be an issue. It's a good idea to have the latest version of the software and the latest version of the firmware on the HMI.

Also, you want to make sure in the future that any time you have controls work performed you get an electronic copy of the configuration. HMI, PLC, SCADA whatever. We generally provide our clients with a CD that has all the configurations, programs, manuals, etc. I would suggest putting this in your terms so there are no disagreements when a new system is installed.
