Panel Builder 600 not including CP620

Hello, ABB.

I just downloaded Automtion Builder 2.0 from the ABB website.

I'm trying to program a CP620 but on Panel Builder 600 I have limited access to the CP600 HMIs. (screenshot_1)I had already tried the 30-day-trial license last year, so right now I am using a free license. Is this why I can't select all the CP600 when starting a new project?

Also, as a side problem, when trying to start a new project on Automation Builder, I'm asked to use a template, but the list appears empty (screenshot_2).

I think it's a license problem, but if there's another way to fix this I'll gladly try it.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Look the license requirements for AB 2.0 and the packages. Most probably you will need a license installed, in order to use AB in full. Still Basic version is marked as free. I could recommend you to uninstall all existing versions, and try to re-install the AB package, marking as BASIC.

For the panels - CP604, 607 and 610 are eCo panels and they can be configured for free with a so called Panel Builder 600 Basic. For other types for sure you will need a valid license.
