Hi, this is my very first thread. I am a PLC enthusiest and am setting up an AB compactlogix 1769-L35E controller with some relays at home to play with.
I bought the controller second hand from ebay, and have installed some hardware and have started the communication process.
I am able to communicate with the PLC successfully using an RS232 cable, (not successful using ethernet, but this subject is for another future thread).
I wrote a quick program using RSLogix5000, just to confirm the ability to communicate and download a routine.
This is where i have come unstuck. The firmware in the PLC is V13, and the RSLogix5000 requires V16 or over. I believe i am currently running V16.3 in the RSLogix.
Due to the compactlogix range being retired by AB, i am no longer able to download the firmware from the AB website.
So my questions:
Is there anywhere else i can source this firmware?
Does anyone out there have a V16 file you can send me?
Or can i set my RSLogix5000 to operate in a lower setting. So instead of V16, set to operate in V13?
I have some screenshots of error messages i can upload if anyone is interested.
Cheers
