Hi all
I have just entered the extremely frustrating world of Studio/rslogix5000.
After fighting for 2 years i have managed to convince management to purchase studio 5000 standard edition version 32 for our site.
I was extremely happy until i found out that the 1756-L61/B controllogix i was trying to upload from wasnt in the version 32 library.
After some reading online i found i was able to download version 20 for free and use that. So off i went to our machine to try upload the program when i find the firmware of the PLC is version 17
After downloading version 17 of rslogix i found that my activation is invalid and that i only have a 7 day grace period.
After some more reading i find that i am only able to get a minimum of version 20 for my version 32 licence.
If this is all correct, my question is then in regards to flashing the firmware of the plc before my 7day (now 3 day) grace period ends.
The rack consist of a few input and output modules, a Ethernet bridge module and a sercos 8 axis motion control module.
Would flashing the firmware on the CPU to version 20 effect any of those modules? would i have to flash the firmware of them too?
Am i doing something wrong to only be getting version 20 and 32 not 17?
