To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my HORNER Touchscreen XL4/XL4 Prime OCS will not download the project file?
If your XL4/XL4 Prime OCS is not downloading the project file, ensure that the project file is saved as a .pgm file and not a .csp file. Also, the file's I/O configuration must match the XL4/XL4 Prime configuration for it to download correctly.
What to do if communication is not established to the target HORNER XL4 controller?
If communication isn't established with the target controller, verify the controller's node ID and ensure the Target setting matches it. Also, confirm that a local connection is established.
What to do if I get an unknown communication error on my HORNER Touchscreen?
