Photon Posts: 18 Rating: (0)	I have not been able to find out. I am now unable to get the new manager to communicate with my device. I have a service request in process to try to resolve that. It's been a couple of days and I have not heard back from support. I will try again today. -ed

Another way maybe is to reinstall of software. This way is not recommended but sometimes is the last decision. Regards Hristo Mihalev

Photon Posts: 18 Rating: (0)	Got a reply today - it is being looked at. One thing I did notice was that - in the previous version I was running, a directory was created in the siemens 'program files' tree that included all the EDDL files exactly as I had imported them (copies). I don't see that in the new version. Either the import failed (and I got no indication of a fail) or the new version does not do a copy and savesthe EDDL filessome other way. I do see an xml files that has the info, and I do see the EDDL info if I try tore-import the sames files, so I assumed the import worked. Scratch that. I see now there is a siemens directory off the root that has the importedEDDL files. -ed

Phantom75 Posts: 2661 Rating: (279)	Hi Photon, After upgrading to new SP it is a good idea to re-import the device data and overwrite. Regards

Phantom75 Posts: 2661 Rating: (279)	Photon . . . Is there a way to remove devices through the program? . . . No. The only way I know is to delete *.dd files fromC:\Program Files\|SIEMENS\PDM\SIM_PDM\devices\... Regards

Photon Posts: 18 Rating: (0)	I was concerned just deleting things - I see there is an xml file that lists imported devices. Unless simatic cleans up when it starts. Of course, there's always the re-install. Groan. -ed

Phantom75 Posts: 2661 Rating: (279)	Why do you want to delete the device data? You suspect the unwanted device data isaffecting performance?

Photon Posts: 18 Rating: (0)	I have tried some modifications to my EDDL files to see if that mattered for communication (it didn't) but now I have multiple instances of slightly different DD files in the program. LifeList does come up with a selection, so it's no big deal, but eventually I want to remove the extra stuff. -ed
