I got it, this was the problem. I had even created the topic myself before but it must have been a case difference issue. Enabled those boxes and the import went fine. I just knew it was going to be something dumb like that. Thanks to David in Tech support for finding ID: BF2515 | Access ...

I've no idea what I am doing differently than you but I'm obviously missing a step somewhere. I have to convert a dozen of these so I have to figure this out. I'll start a case and get them to show me. Thanks for your help in confirming I'm the problem 😑. ------------------------------ ...

It just occurred to me to ask this: Did you set up the serial node on the FTLinx of your dev machine before trying the import? I ask because I'm assuming it needed to be on the FTLinx of the panel only and if the import process is looking at the dev machines FTLinx while importing, that might explain ...

Converting a PV550 serial to a Panelview Plus 7. I take a PVA and import it into Panelview32 and then save that as PBA per recommendations. Then import that into View Studio and then all the tags get converted to memory tags because it doesn't recognize the "NODE" is a serial driver shortcut in FTLinx ...

there is a release note that addresses the ESC reboot problem as being an incompatibility between the HIM and 755 drives that don't allow the process display on the HIM and that was fixed in fw version 2.008, which these have v2.008.39 ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ --------------- ...

I would normally agree with you but It worked for over a week until it suddenly didn't, no FW changes. Some power cycles did occur however. Studio 5000 now can't access the drives properties, The HIM display does not show any live data either. The HIM software is dated 2008 according to its boot screen ...

Additional info, pressing ESC on the HIM makes it reboot on this drive. Doesn't do that on the other drives. I would swap them with another but there is no connector near the HIM and the cable goes behind the shields so I'd have to shut two of them down. ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ...

I have a wildcard Cert that I need to install in my first OPTIX project and the file I have access to is of type PCKS12 and not PEM/DER.

Well that 'splains it. Still odd that the exhaust blows hot air into the intake but I assume that's got a reason as well. Thanks for the info. ------------------------------ ≈≈≈≈Splash≈≈≈≈≈ ------------------------------

It is indeed the MCC section that contains a reactor and the control power xfmr. But there is an open wall on the side that will draw air from the drives section as well. Something else I noticed was that the two fans on the drive section blow their exhaust downward into the path of the intake fans. ...
