I've just spent the past four years working on a project, using CLX Version 13 firmware. Now, I'm getting ready to start a new project, and I'm trying to weigh my options. Do I jump to 16 to avoid tech support problems, 15 because it should be proven, or stick with 13 because I know what works?
I think version 15 has been around long enough that I can trust it, and I've seen features I like. I want to ask an open ended question here. What do users think of the 15 and 16 software and firmware? Have you discovered any pitfalls?
I know that version 16 redundancy is not available yet, and we're going to want it. We're also going to be using function block programming along with ladder.
I'd also like to try out the add-on function blocks in version 16. Do they work ok? Are they safe to edit online? Are there any other surprises there?
Be honest. What are you dealing with in these releases? What's improved?
