Transfer to ARsim via command line Automation Studio 6

Hello!

I’m trying to build a project and transfer to target (ARsim) via command line ( B&R Online Help ). My approach is:

  • Build project via command line
  • Start AR sim
  • Transfer project to target via PVITransfer.exe

This worked worked for Automation Studio 4, but not for Automation Studio 6.

During transfer, the following error occurs:

I’ve also tried doing the ARsim installation via “Offline commissioning” in Runtime Utility Center, but with the same result (Error in file structure: same group in different classes)

Any advise on further troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Emil

Hi @Emil_Hjelm ,
Which Automation Studio version are you using (6.1/6.2/…mine is 6.5.0.306)? And which PVI (mine is 6.5.0.104)?
Normally in this situation I try to reduce the problem, Have you tried to do the same with all your tasks disabled? If that works, Can you try to re-enable one task each time and repeat your sequence of commands?
I don’t see any error ID/number in the error message so it’s hard to see which component RUC/PVI/… is responsible for that issue
I did a test with more complex prj I have at the moment on my pc and no issue:

Normally my laptop is a collector of issues, and this feature works in my case…I recommend to call the local Support in your area because to me the issue is related to your prj.
Please update us regarding the cause of the problem

Thanks
Ciao

We have seen a similar issue reported by a customer in the US, they were attempting to do an Offline Commissioning via RUC package and ran into the same “Error in file structure: same group name in different classes” error. This is actively being troubleshooted in a support CASE, will report back once we have a solution.

Thank you Valerio and Rafael,

For info: I use Automation Studio 6.5.0.306 and PVI 6.5.0.104.

I will continue disabling various tasks and try to find the problematic part of the project.

Best regards,

Emil

Hi Emil, quick question: if you create a new AS 6.5.0.306 project and follow the steps you mentioned (build via command line, start ARsim, and transfer via RUC (PVI 6.5.0.104)), do you still see the issue? Or is it just with this project?

I created a new project and completed the process without errors. So the issue is related to the project it seems.

@rafael.laury Did you find any more information or cause for the “Error in file structure: same group name in different classes” in the support CASE? I have tried to isolate the error but have had no success so far.

Hi Emil, I do not have any new information yet. I have followed up internally and will update you as soon as I receive a response.

Hi @Emil_Hjelm ,
I saw in our internal channel one colleague has reported the same issue, below his workaround:
When reverting back to PVI 6.0.2 the transfer command is executed without any issue.”

Could you do a test with PVI 6.0.2?

Not easy test I see…you have to uninstall PVI 6.5 first then install PVI 6.0.2, make a test and then if you want reinstall 6.5…

Thanks

Hi all, this issue has been confirmed as a bug. It will be fixed in Automation Studio / PVI version 6.5.2, which is expected to be released in mid-March (exact date to be confirmed).
