When opening some RSLogix 500 program files, my RSLogix window is re-sized smaller. The same thing happens when I go from offline to online. Once the file is open, I can resize the window and click “window” and then “arrange” from the pull down menu. This does not happen with all files, but files from a certain customer’s SLC’s. I just opened about twenty .rss files from other customers, and they open normally in the existing window without shrinking it. When I open files from this particular customer, they are re-sized smaller every time.
This may or may not have anything to do with it, but these programs were all written by someone else long ago when these 5/03’s were installed and they are all networked with other 5/03’s via DH485. Over the last several years, I have been the one maintaining these controllers and also changing out networked groups of the 5/03’s with 5/05’s (not the latest product, but a huge improvement in communications) as the customer doesn’t want to replace the existing I/O. This window re-sizing issue follows the file after I have upgraded to the 5/05. The same file was used and only the processor changed. These programs run fine without errors.
Anyone have any ideas as to what may cause this and how to correct it?
My laptop is running Win7 64 bit and RSLogix 500 version 8.4, but had this same issue on my old XP laptop. Changing Windows settings seems to have no effect. If I have the software running in a maximized window, it will still shrink it down when I open one of these files.
