Transfer to PLC stuck at 100%

Hi all,

I seem to be posting a lot of questions/issues this week, sorry about that.

I have gotten into trouble trying to transfer my program to my Arsim all of the sudden, a few days ago it was still working

The transfer bar will go instantly to 100% and just stay there, no progress after that.

What I have already done:

  • Clean configuration
  • Remove Simulation folder
  • Initial installation

Somehow initial installation will always get through, but I rather not restart my PLC every time and lose all values I set.

This only happens with normal transfer “Consistent installation”.

Cancelling the transfer and trying again will then give me an error;

Hi,

In past, I’ve seen such behavior (transfer 100%, dialog stucks) most often because of some code in INIT or EXIT code of tasks that leads to some kind of infinite loop or racing condition.

When transfer is at 100% and INIT/EXIT is enabled in the transfer settings, the installation routine inside AR executes the EXIT functions of the changed tasks, exchanges the code, and executes INIT code… for me it sounds, that this sequence stucks.

So I propose first to check if you’ve changed something in that direction in the last days.
If using mapp components, additionaly I propose to check this overview in the help about recommendations how to configure the download settings depending on different mapp packages:

Hope those informations help a bit, best regards.
