The files within the PETRA II curriculum materials were created using TIA Portal V15. We are now supplying TIA Portal V18 to our customers however these files are still suitable for use with just a small alteration to the existing instructions.
Firstly you will now need to Open the sample ZAP file, as the Retrieve option from TIA Portal V15 no longer exists.
As before you will be asked to select a target directory. This will be your working folder so you must ensure whatever location you choose you have write access to it.
After selecting the target directory you will be presented with the following screen:
Simply click Upgrade and the project will be upgraded to TIA Portal V16 and saved as a new project. The original project file will not be changed.
Tip: This process can also be used to make any saved V15 project available in TIA Portal V16. Simply "Archive" the original project in TIA Portal V15 and open the subsequent ZAP file in TIA Portal V16+ using the procedure above.
