Controller Firmware and Logix Designer Application Compatibility
In
Logix 5000®
control systems, the controller firmware and the Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
application must be of the same major revision level. For example, if the controller firmware revision is 38.xxx, you must use the Logix Designer application, version 38. There are minimum software version requirements for the software applications that you use in your system.
Compatible builds of software have been tested together to verify they work properly. Versions of software that are not identified as being compatible with each other have not been tested together and are not guaranteed to work.
For more information on controller firmware revisions and software application minimum requirements, go to the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) at rok.auto/pcdc.
In the PCDC:
- The Download section has the firmware for your controller.
- The Compare section has software compatibility information for software applications that are used in a control system.
IMPORTANT:
The controller must be in Remote Program or Program mode and all major recoverable faults must be cleared to accept updates.
The controller ships with firmware revision 1.xxx installed. You must update the firmware revision before you can use it in a Logix Designer application project.
