Hello.
After creating my blank project with my hardware, I manually set the IP in range with the pc.
I am not able to connect to the target to transfer my blank project.
Could someone help me on why I can’t connect to my target?
On some occasions this was due to the configuration of either PVI MANAGER or PVI MONITOR, but I don’t remember the solution, whether as a service or as a user.
secondly, you try to connect to simulation (127.0.0.1)?
No, I left the simulation connected.
Other times it has happened to me that PVI MANAGER AND PVI MONITOR must start as a user or something like that to be able to connect.
I already take the opportunity to ask:
To find the objective, does ARuntime and PVI Manager need to match in any version?
I have ARuntime 4.93 installed
AND PVIManager 4.12.5.34
There is no need for a PVI manager to be specific version. Within 2 hours it will be in “trial” mode.
If more than 2 hours, I think you need to start/stop it (if not using AS):
If your network is blocking SNMP, it might be issue too. The simpler way is create using CF card, remember the IP address and connect it using specific IP address that you know so that you no need to enable SNMP due to security concern.
Hello, first of all thank you for your attention.
I am trying to create a new CF card with blank project only with hardware, IP and SNMP not connected, but I don’t know how to create a blank project and transfer it to the new CF card.
If I try to transfer it through the PLC I can’t because I can’t find my objective
If I try with a CF card reader I can’t either because my new blank project is saved in c/projects/ and the .pil files are not created
How can I create a new project inside a CF card?
I compile the project, but when I create my cf card with utility center I go to c/projects and my .pil files are NOT there
Yesterday I remembered the post “create new project offline”, I was working and my basic project (hardware, IP, active SNMP) was created correctly on the CF card.
But the surprise was when I inserted the card into the PLC:
-R/E led off
-S/E led off
-CF led is solid green and turns off every two seconds
Supply module:
-led r: green and turns off every two seconds
If someone knew how to carry out a study of the behavior of the LEDs in my PLC and power supply module I would be very grateful.
Can these hardware errors be solved with a hardware or firmware update, or with the RESET button?
My LED DC does the same behavior as LED CF, it turns on/off every two seconds and so continuously.
We have contacted B&R support and they tell us to start the CPU in BOOT mode and if the LED R/E continues to turn off and CF AND DC INTERMITTENT then we have to repair the CPU.
Can you send more information about the differences between x20cp1584 and x20cCp1584?
My hardware I’m sure it’s x20CP1584, I send a photo of SDM to make sure.
It seem like you are quite new to B&R PLC. Compiler will not generate PIL file. PIL file is not part of machine code, so it is normal that you can’t see PIL file if you just compile it.
To direct download to CF, you need:
Example project for a target system with CompactFlash
Direct create CF called Offline installation
I think there is a “getting started” in this forum that you can look at. The searching target, generate code, download code basically handle by different application/program/function. I know learning B&R PLC is a little hard when you are come from “conventional” PLC like Siemens, Omron etc…
Hi Julián
Some questions:
You can find the behavior of the LEDs for a X20CP1584 here:
LEDs X20CPx58x series
The different modes of the operating switch you can find here:
operating switch
Good luck!

Another often made mistake is the use of the coated version of a module.
We f.e. also have a X20cCP1584 HW upgrade. If you have that one in the project and your physical CPU is X20CP1584, you might run into this behavior.
I think you need to reorganize or narrow down the problem so that someone in the forum can help you.
You did told:
Hello.
So that you understand my PLC in normal state works normally, connect to SDM, basic project connects to my goal.
But it happens that at certain moments when we energize the CPU the whole chain of errors described here happens, I no longer have SDM, my basic project does not connect either.
I can say that right now everything happens normally but it has happened to me that it works for 4 or 5 hours running the project and then disconnects from ethernet we remove voltage / reset voltage and nothing is the same again, LED’s in error state.
That happens at certain times, that’s why my query to know if I need to perform some kind of very deep reset to the CPU, hardware update, firmware … Something that someone guides me.
Greetings.
