Hi folks,
I have been working with AB for the past year or so and have run into some issues regarding version upgrades.
My Logix Designer (studio 5000) runs at version 32.011 and I would like to upgrade it to the newer version which is V33. I tried to download the newer version using my serial# and the latest version I can download is the V32. My question is, do I need to contact our AB distributor and purchase it separately? It looks like our support with them has expired as we went for perpetual.
My second question is, I need to flash my PLCs firmware to V32.014 or a newer version as a requirement of a client. I did download the newer version and will install it into my controller. How does it work? Will I be able to open my project after upgrading the firmware of the processor? In this scenario, my Logix Designer will run at version 32.011 and my processor will have a newer firmware running in it.
I have never done this before so I'm a little confused.
Thank you all in advance for your time.
