Hi, EASY! simply download the script and follow instructions in this document https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/32582476 You MUST change the extension of your text file (or edit the script to search for .txt instead of .dnl filetypes) Preferred: To change the file extension, run a command prompt and type the following in the location where your file is stored ren "9824-0729-91 02 2_11.txt" "9824-0729-91 02 2_11.dnl" OR alternatively, in the scriptfile on line 23 change to the following APP.Tools.FileBrowser.Open(".txt") I have tried both and they work. One notable mention, you need to set the "NEW" drive in Starter to the firmware version of the new device if that wasn't obvious. The "OLD" drive in your example is v2.1 and additionally has a Profibus address of '3' which is the default address anyway. Regards, Graeme |
