pm866AK02 controller on 800xa 5.0 sp1 and cb 5.0.1/0
hi,
regarding question about using pm866AK02 controller on 800xa 5.0 sp1 I'm asking a follow-up. are these kind of restrictions related to control builder version or system version? I've attached system info.

the control builder version is 5.0.1/0 (build 5.0.1001.75) but the system version is 5.0 Sp1 .
as I'm working in Iran I can't count on local ABB Support team

Hi,
I believe limitation is with using PM866 in CBM older than 5.0.1/1.
You can do simple test in CBM in offline mode. Try to right click on Controllers and select add new controller.
In the popup you will see if PM866 is listed in available controllers or not.
Cancel popup then and your project configuration does not change.
I think you should consider upgrading your 800xA system version due to old Windows, aging PC hardware and due to VB graphics, which cause a lot of troubles with freezing.
Sure Operation will be much happier with new PG2 graphics.
