Hi Team,
I’m very new to Automation Studio, although I already have hands-on experience with B&R hardware and a solid understanding of how your systems operate. Naturally, I’m now transitioning into the software side using the latest version of Automation Studio.
I have successfully written and built my program with no errors. However, when I attempt to test the project using ARsim, nothing seems to happen after clicking to start the simulation. Additionally, after building, I’m unable to transfer the project to the target as shown in the screenshot attached.
For clarity, I have included all relevant screenshots/files.
I would appreciate all the guidance and support you can offer to help me get started smoothly.
Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the community @Okiki_Goriola Okiki
May I asked if your PVI Manager is running, it’s the icon with the left/right arrows? 
You can find and start it manually when you search it under Windows.
I have seen a similar problem on my own PC.
Have you tried an “Offline install” to create the ARsim package on you PC?
Let us know how it goes.
@marcel.voigt yes it is running as seen in the attach below.
However, I noticed that I have this error when toggled the AR00.exe to view.
Error no valid signature ar000.exe.
Hi,
I’ve never seen this signature error before?!
For me, it “tastes” a bit like some Windows (security? code execution prevention?) topic with the ar000.exe? But honestly spoken, this is just a guess because of the expression “valid signature” …
I tried to reproduce the issue, but I wasn’t able to.
Which Automation Runtime version you’re using, and could you please try to change this version? To check and change, please open “project → change runtime version”
To get a different / new Automation Runtime version, you can check via “Tools → Upgrades” for “Automation Runtime” and select the version you want to use, please also download “ArSim” for use with simulation.
Here’s an example how it could look like (I’ve a newer Automation Studio version in use then 6.0, therefore I’m not sure what version you’ll see):
Please note:
online updates are only available when having a valid Automation Studio licence. If you’re working with an evaluation version, you have to download the upgrade packages via the download section of the B&R homepage, and use “tools → upgrade” with the “local” tab to install then the donwloaded upgrades from your local harddrive.
Best regards!
