Hello Everyone,
First of all, I would like to thank you for everyone who helped me in the previous post and this platform is really helpful for people like me who just started working on real world application using PLC and have no previous experience other than school.
This is my first time working on the new controller and As I know, New Controller comes with firmware V 1.00 and I needed to flash the firmware and I also have to make sure my RSLOGIX 5000 software version should match with firmware version in the controller to download the project.
So my question is Can I just connect my A to B USB cable and update the firmware and gets online on PLC to download the program and make changes?
Because I am not very comfortable with assigning IP or set up ethernet and this is only one PLC we are going to get at our plant (Small plant and first automation project)
If I decide to just use USB cable, will it work like plug and play? or do i still need to setup some kind of IP to make it work and get online?
Thank you
