RSNetworx v24

Hi all,

I've had v21 of RSNetworx installed on my PC for a while, and noted that v24 has been released. Just wonder if anyone knows, are there any version or compatibility issues with upgrading to v24? e.g. I have a Smartguard 600 program created in RSNetworx for DeviceNet v21 - will I be able to open this file with v24? Will I have to upgrade firmware in the Smartguard to go online with v24?

I've never installed a new version of Networx before, and I'd just like to know if it works more like RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000, or FTView

No issues that I've run into between v24 and v21. DNT files that I edited in v24 could be opened in v21 (originally developed in v21). I can't imagine why you would need to upgrade SmartGuard to work.

IIRC, install is more like RSL5K. But really, if there is no specific reason to upgrade, I wouldn't bother. BTW, eds file installation remains painfully slow.

Thanks. I don't have a pressing reason to update, but I did read somewhere in a Rockwell technote or release note something about needing to upgrade to v24 in a specific instance. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I always prefer to not end up working it out at 11pm on a Friday night when something doesn't work and going "ah, that's the issue I read about!"

I want to say that update note comes up when installing one of the Studio versions.

I did recently install v26 of Studio 5000...that was probably it.
