Unable to update PLC with a configuration change

[Scot]

I have an H2-DM1E that I am trying to add some more rampsoaks to. I can add them to the configuration but when trying to upload to the PLC I get an error that it was partially uploaded. If I look at the Link Info, it says the error information is "Code = 8 : Attempted edit of program without update token.
I can load the old program and upload it just fine though.

Make sure no one else is connected to the PLC with another instance of Designer.  This can happen with Ethernet connections, or even on the same PC with 2 different Designer sessions with 2 different comm links to the same IP Address, or one link that is USB and one that is Ethernet, for example.

You might try closing (all instanes of) Designer then run Designer and re-opening that project (make note of any message boxes and post them here).

I have some more information.

I have a spare H2-DM1E.
I was previously connecting through an ECOM-100 card.
I disconnected the ethernet cable and connected to the H2-DM1E with a USB cable. I still couldn't upload the new program.

I tried installing the spare H2-DM1E. I updated it. Set the IP Address. Installed the original program. Uploaded the memory image. I need the settings from memory. I have it nearly full if user defined data - 22,764 bytes free.
Then I tried uploading the new program to the spare PLC and I get the same error.

I haven't tried clearing the PLC then uploading because I didn't think I would be able to upload the memory image since the Heap items have added rampsoaks and PIDs.

Maybe I can still upload the memory image. I'll give that a try on the spare H2-DM1E.

I would unplug EVERYTHING from your PLC.  No Ethernet cables.  No serial cables.  No USB.

Power cycle your PLC.

Connect to your PLC via USB.  You did not mention any dialog boxes connecting to your PLC.  Please list those out.

See if you can write your project to the PLC.

That's what I did earlier. Normally, all that's connected is an ethernet cable for the expansion rack network (isolated). But I disconnected everything and power cycled then tried to update through USB.
We are starting back up now so I can't shut down the PLC so I will have to capture the dialog boxes next time we have a shutdown.
I didn't have time to put the spare back in, clear it, then try uploading the new project.

I will see if I have a spare rack that I can put the spare PLC in and do some testing.
