How to adapt vijeo citect v7.2 to Windows 10

Good morning, everyone.

I have a vijeo citect 7.2 license for a project developed under windows 7, now I want to transfer my project to a computer which has a windows 10 operating system

I have installed Vijeo Citect v7.2 and ofs v 3.34, I have the communication problem between citect and ofs, Please find below the error message that is displayed 

Is there a method to solve this problem.

Best regards.

  • Hi Aini,

    Unfortunately the screenshot with the error message is not visible for me.

    However, I would recommend to upgrade to OFS v3.63 and the latest Citect OFSOPC driver (v3.03.01.000).

    OFS 3.63 can be downloaded from the SE download site:

    The Citect driver can be downloaded from the Connectivity Hub on the AVEVA support site:

    https://softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/#/connectivityhub/details?id=ec6f2ee2-35c2-4f8b-954a-08d8e4a50302

    If the problem persists, please describe the system configuration and OFS configuration you are using, and specify the exact error message(s) or re-upload the image.

    Also, please be advised that Citect 7.20 is no longer in Support and that it is not validated on Windows 10. The maximum Windows version that is officially supported by Citect 7.20 is Windows 7.

    Regards,

    Patrick

  • Thanks Patrick , I will try to install it
  • Hi Patrick,
    I followed your recommendations, the problem is solved for the communication with only one alias, but as soon as I used two or more aliases I lost the communication
    this message is displayed on ofs factory server:
    NETMAN: Last scan of receiver is too old (271055 ms), no check for Timeout

    Thanks in advance,
    Aini
  • I have sites with many aliases, but never encountered that message.
    I suspect there is a configuration issue somewhere, but without knowing your setup it will be hard to diagnose.

    Can you describe the alias configurations, and what PLC models you use?
  • Three Schneider electric PLCs, type PREMIUM (REF: TSX P57) redundant and three others, type M340 (REF: BMX P34 2010),

    Please find attached my configuration
