I updated all of the drivers off of the INternet and now wish I had the older drivers from years ago becuase I've ended up in a mess on this one laptop. Just FYI on the reason I was updating anything. When the AB Compact Logix file I imported only included half of the tags that should have been there I determined that we would not be doing this anymore in our plant even though we were successful on one small machine with one of our contractors. Anybody know something about this? Note: I had updated all of the drivers to determine if I could upgrade a machine and mix some brands of PLC and keep a E1101 HMI. For some reason even after trying to make the "bad" computer like the "good" one I can only select FX3 and QnA/Q. When I start a project on the "good" laptop and pick a driver for MELSEC I can choose A Series, FX3, QnA/Q Series. I have missed more files somewhere pertaining to PLC drivers.
My question though is if I have another laptop that is supporting the same machines and was basically a mirror image of this laptop where are all the old driver files located? I have already found in the help section that all should be in C:\program files\common files\Beijers shared\opc drivers I have transfered everything in that folder and when it didn't correct things I also copied all other folders in \Bejier shared from the "good" laptop. Basically I have old enough hardware that it should not be inverted (or is ) and now since the HMI is up to the latest version they end up being inverted if that makes sense. This has to do with the notes in the revision levels of 5.00 through current for the A series PLCs that in some versions the X addresses were inverted. What I have done is updated all of my drivers through the File
