Are you using non-English Windows mode to open the file? There are some problems regarding International language due to the fact the TRiLOGI version 5.xx stores the file in ASCII and not in Unicodes.

Try changing to English mode Windows and you should be able to open the file.

We do have a beta version of International language TRiLOGI version 6.0 currently being tested by some users using Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Hebrew mode of Windows. If you have purchased the TRiLOGI software and wish to test out the Intenational language TRiLOGI version 6.0 please contact us at sales@tri-plc.com and furnish your purchase details and we can send it to you.

this problem is hapened in the XP and involved with the unicode format
and when non-english charcters are in use.
u can solve the problem as follow:
<start>
<setting>
<control panel>
<ragional and language option>
at "ragional options" select English (US) and apply
at "advanced" select non-unicode language to English (US) as well.
apply setup
note: in case you set only the "advanced" options, part of the characters may be
unreadable (e.g. the IP address in the TLServer window)

warnning : softwares that are not in unicode  and are
                  in the previos setted language may become unreadable ("gibrish")
                  and may-be effected.
                  my experiance shows that resetting to the privios setting fix the
                  "gibrish", but again u will not be able to open the PC5 files.

We have just released TRiLOGI version 6.1 that supports Unicode file format so it should resolve problem of using non English mode Windows O/S. There are also new features such as "Quick Tags" and a data EEPROM Manager which allows you to upload/download data content to/from the PLC's data EEPROM area.

For users of production version of TRiLOGI 5.xx, you can follow the "Help->upgrade" on the TRiLOGI to obtain the upgrade.

Currently we have not yet released educational version of TRiLOGI version 6.x. We will provide the educational version in not too distant future.
