Current versions of processors with July 2008 firmware have difficulties with older versions of RSLogix500. Notably, RSLogix 500 version 4.5.00 (which is 9 years old) which will not allow online edits with the PLC. Currently at RA, they are using version 7.30.10, although a version for MS Vista had been released (version 8.10).
If an error message "Online Edit Resource Cannot Be Obtained from Processor” occurs while attempting to make an online change, RSLogix500 compatibility may be the problem.
Note that some versions of RSLogix500 and SLC firmware compatibility issues may prevent program download!
About Me
- NormR
- I am a business owner, engineer, volunteer, father, spouse. I began working in high school and never stopped. I ran a warehouse at 16, worked as electrician, carpenter and plasterer's helpers. I have been a draftsman, designer, electrical engineer, systems engineer, and representative to a Saudi Arabian refinery. I started three successful businesses; now I'm semi-retired and work 40 hours per week, sometimes 24/7! In my journey I had two sons with interests in scouting and many other things. I supported them in their interests, learned a lot and grew with them. I was selected for the “award of merit” as outstanding volunteer from a field of 6,000 volunteers. I had so many things in the air at one time that it was inevitable that I would break a few plates, and I did. Got divorced, lost the house, etc. Life goes on and I cleaned up the mess. I look at the downside risk in everything. I'm part of the middle class, centrist in my political views, pay my taxes, honor God. Believe in saving some of what I earn for the inevitable "bad times" and living below my means. I love living my life, which, no matter how long it will be, will be far too short.
