What is BMO file?

The file in the BMO format belongs to the Developer Files category. The creator of this file is Siemens AG. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. SIMATIC WinCC Script appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The SIMATIC WinCC application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Siemens AG.

How to open BMO file?

The most common problem when using SIMATIC WinCC Script is that a specific BMO is not associated with the program. This causes the file BMO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install SIMATIC WinCC

The first step is to check if the computer has the SIMATIC WinCC program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SIMATIC WinCC in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BMO files.

Programs to open BMO file

Remember to download programs supporting BMO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SIMATIC WinCC with BMO files

If, despite the installed application, the BMO file does not start in the SIMATIC WinCC application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BMO file with the SIMATIC WinCC application.

Step 3. Update SIMATIC WinCC to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SIMATIC WinCC program, it is possible that SIMATIC WinCC Script requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Siemens AG website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BMO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BMO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BMO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BMO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BMO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Siemens AG help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BMO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BMO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BMO file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
