Hello,

1/Vijeo Designer - XBT GT 2110 - Transfer impossible.

I am working with Vijeo Designer for the first time.
I created my project for an XBT GT 2110.
I have correctly configured the USB transfer mode.
I powered on the XBT and the PLC.
I connected it via the USB port (the only communication port with a console) using the XBT ZG 935 cable.
I checked that I have the right version of Vijeo: I have 5.0.0.
I verified that I have the correct drivers in "DRIVER MANAGER": PLC USB Driver installed.
Windows tells me that I am communicating properly via a XBT "ZG935/USBB" cable.
I restarted the PC, Vijeo Designer as well, switched the cable direction.
I tried rebooting the touchscreen.
I tried with a new empty project.

The problem:
The "Transfer to USB" button (below "Start device simulation") is grayed out. The same goes for "Generate>Transfer target", as well as its shortcut.

- What have I forgotten to transfer my project to the XBT


2/ Recovery of a Vijeo Designer Project Backup.

Upon the last startup of my project, I received the friendly message:
"Unable to open the project XXXX.
The project may be used by another person.
It may also be missing or corrupted."
Nothing else or access.
I made a copy, Vijeo Designer finds it and gives me the same message -> it is therefore not missing.
It is indeed corrupted.
I did not experience any crashes of Vijeo Designer or Windows.
In my project folder, I have 5 files named "AutoBackup005.bkm", I think it is possible to partially recover my project from this type of file.

- What could have "corrupted" my project?
- How to best recover a corrupted project.


3/ Online help.

I regularly work with Siemens, and on their site, there is a great database of FAQs, examples, and function presentations.
On Schneider, I only found, through Google, a few FAQs, 80% of which are in English.

- Where do you search when the software help is not enough?


Thank you to those who will provide their assistance.

    for your first point:
    do you have the license??
    because if you don't have it, you're in demo version and that's why you don't have access to these buttons. (this has existed since version 5.0 of vijeo designer)

    otherwise I don't have an answer for your other questions.

      for your information, the simulation of Vijeo with the Unity simulator or another PLC simulator is only possible if you have the Vijeo license

      thank you Schneider for all this
