Hi Guys,
Recently we had a third party integrator add a Fenetech scanner to one of our lines, and made many changes to our PLC program. It sorta works, most of the time.
My question is when I try to use their project file to go online with the PLC, it gives me a message that says I can't go online with this controller with this project file because the project file has a newer firmware version than the PLC cpu, and I must do a firmware update on the PLC cpu in order to go online.
This makes no sense to me.
I think they may have used Studio 5000 to go online, I am using RSLogix5000, could this be the issue? I can use an older version of the project file to go online with the PLC, but then I don't see the new descriptors.
Any help would be appreciated as they are dragging their feet.
Cheers,
Brian
