I can change AR version on PLC to any from list. But even I have changed runtime version when I start making compact flash for panel there is only E3.10 possible. I use Automation Studio 3.0.90. Thank you in advance! ---

Hi, Automation Runtimes are not only installed per-version but also per-target. It looks like you maybe have installed the I3.10 version for your X20CP1485-1 but didn’t install it for the PP100 target. [https://www.br-automation.com/en/downloads/software/automation-runtime/automation-studio-3090/v30-ar-upgrade-i0310-pp100/](https://www.br-automation.com/en/downloads/software/automation-runtime/automation-studio-3090/v30-ar-upgrade-i0310-pp100/) Maybe installing this will solve it. Best regards ---

However, is it possible to somehow downgrade version of runtime (because I do not have a choice in menu)? Or it isn’t matter of concern? ---

I don’t understand your question. In your “change runtime” dialog I can see a V3.08 being installed - which should be working and would be considered a downgrade. Why would you need to downgrade, though? ---

It is an old project. PLC runtime is D3.07. Now it works on PLC pretty well. But we lost our CF for panel. I want to make compact flash for MP181 panel from source code. Project compiles without errors. However, when I make compact flash, panel can’t boot (you can see in picture). I think it’s because of different versions of PLC and AR panel which are installed on my PC. Maybe I should find an older version of the software to fix all this. ---

If the PLC and MP181 are in the same hardware configuration in the configuration view of your project, I believe you are trying to use the MP181 as a terminal visualization. In that case, the Automation Runtime version selection is done in the VC Terminals tab. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/4/4feef9dd2c1f3ac5299a88420387d460d3456ff8.png)
