Cannot do Run-Time Transfers after upgrading to Productivity Suite 4.7.0.47

After I upgraded from Productivity Suite 4.6.1.7 to 4.7.0.47 I have started having problems doing run-time downloads to a P3-550E PLC.

 

The lower right-hand corner of the status bar shows that run-time Transfers are available, but when I try to do a run-time transfer an error message pops up saying "Project contains errors. Please see Problem Report". The Problem Report complains with the following message: "Run time edit size for data type 'UDI Instances' exceeded the maximum of 50000 bytes and stop mode transfer is required. Click Help for more information."

 

This is with a project that I had no issues doing run-time transfers with when using version 4.6.1.7

 

Something appears to have changed with 4.7.0.47Run-time-XFR-Error-Screenshot-2026-07-12

    Look at File.Project properties

    Click the Calculate button.

    If Run Time Edit (RTE) is at 100%, then a runtime transfer is not available and a STOP mode transfer is required.

    See help topic P032 for more details.

    @Nixter (Customer)​ Once you do a stop mode transfer then do a run time transfer are you still getting this error? If yes, then PM me your project so we can attempt to duplicate. Thanks!

      The pattern I have noticed is that my first download of the day has to be a stop-mode transfer, no matter how trivial an edit I may have made. After that 1st stop-mode transfer, run-time transfers are possible.

       

      I looked at the File.Properties.General tab and clicked on the "Calculate" button and I'm at 7% RTE. I'll paste the screen grab into this message.File.Properties.General tabHow do I PM you my project? I'd be happy to send it to you so you can see if you can duplicate it.
