Q: How to change the version of a CX-Designer project?
A: A CX-Designer project created in a different version can be modified to match the firmware version of the target HMI.
Note: this procedure only allows to change the project to the closest versions, otherwise a HMI firmware update will be needed.
Procedure:
- Close all instances of CX-Designer.
- Navigate to the CX-Designer installation directory. This is usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\OMRON\CX-One\CX-Designer. Locate and run the executable “mod.exe” and enable the function.
- Reopen the project file. From the Menu Bar go to Tools > Convert > Version. Then, select the new version for the program and save the changes for the new project file.
