Automation studio 3.0.90 - 4PP452.0571-75

I have this panel here from an existing machine: 4PP452.0571-75.

Currently, it’s about preservation, which means I need to test the controller, but unfortunately, that doesn’t work without the machine.

The original project was unfortunately lost over the years with the laptop. For my test setup, I am now looking for an Automation Studio version that still supports this panel. If I understand correctly, this could be version 3.0.90.

Currently, I have downloaded the latest Studio 4.12 and cannot get this panel to integrate - although the controller is still shown as an old device, I cannot create a project because the runtime is not available. I also already tried to convert the project from originally using a different panel to mine, but that didn’t work either.

I am not a customer and currently have no contact with B&R. Do you perhaps have a solution for me.

As I said, at the moment it is solely about preservation - a plan could also be to replace the controller with something newer in order to simply keep the existing modules like amplifiers and nodes / IO modules - but that has not been discussed yet.

Best regards

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, welcome to our B&R Community!

I see the hw upgrade is available for AS 4.x too:

Once you have selected the hw upgrade you can configure your panel in AS prj:

If not I can send what I have to you to a private email:

Hi Valerio,

you explained that very nicely to me, and it was clearly visible from that what I was missing, the runtime for the PP400.

I then also found this file on the Internet at B&R - now I can create a project with my panel without errors.

I also prefer to use a current system like AS 4.12 rather than making compromises with older versions.

Thank you very much for your help
Wolfgang
