I would like to clone the OS station on a new PC, the new PC has a CP1623 card too. When I try to disconnect the old OS station with the ES station, and communicate the new OS station with the ES station, it shows two errors. 1. Configured device name for the time synchronization does not agree with PC installation 2. Terminal adapter 64:00:6A:46:98:A2 disconnected May I know what is the issue and how to solve it?

I think you need to configure the station configurator on the new OS by selecting PLC→Configure and PLC→Download for the PC station. I assume you use named connections. Probably you need to check the Time Synchronization and/or Redundancy settings. You can select a network card there and I think the system does not recognize it. Maybe it's on a different slot.

If I still proceed to clone the OS, may I know how do I check the Time Synchronization and/or Redundancy Settings? I did set the IP address of the CP1623 on new OS as same as the old OS, but the new OS still can't communicate to the ES.

You can import also a XDB file, that file is configured in the project folder on the ES in the PC station. Check the PC station properties for location of that file, you can import it to the new OS via Station Configurator. Or use the PLC→Configure and PLC→Download option via right clicking the PC station name. The netpro configuration will be download to the new OS station and thus the station knows which communicationlines are setup.
