Using Logix 500 (Vers 8.4.XX & Win 7 - 64-Bit) I seem to be having a lot of trouble when performing online editing.

About 50% of the time when I go to assemble edits, Logix simply Fails and throws me Offline.

Any ideas?
 
Well first of all that version is probably over 10 years old. No way was it designed with Win 7 x64 bit in mind. Could it work? Maybe. Is there a chance to flash the firmware to something more modern? Is this the special redundancy version? What procesor is it?

My apologies. I always misread 500 as 5000! Disregard post!

I don't know if RSLogix500 8.4 has been tested or is compatible with WIN 7 64 Bit. If this is by chance a 5/05 over Ethernet I think it is a RSLinx setting. I will look on the forum because it has been discussed in the past.
 
Not much of the older software (Logix 500) is officially compatible with Win 7 - 64. It works, not reliabibly.

The configuration is a 5/05 over ethernet, using RSLinx 2.58.
