Oh don't hold back. What else is coming?So I know for a fact that at least this revision is not going to add online AOI edit capabilities.

hmm I forgot about that, but I think I have seen that before. Only problem is that I still need a way to automatically re-protect it when I import it back in to a ACD so that doesn't help right?There's this export setting. Haven't tried it, yet.
That is really cool except not sure how that is patentable.... other companies already offer this. I guess it is just more "We are Rockwell, we are special" stuff.Re: the SDK/API
Rockwell filed a patent on this last year, so more info can be picked up from it.

I think it's more like, "We spent millions to fight off the Solaia PLC-to-spreadsheet patent (aka "Solaia patent", aka '318 patent) for the whole industry, and we're never going to go through that again. "
The SDK thing sound like something that Rockwell did back in Logix500 -- exposing some of the VB methods so that a programmer could write code to so they could do automatic backups and such, not to write code in the PLC is some foreign language.
Never got much attention and never went anywhere.
Windows 7 + earlier and 32-bit support is out. I'll install on my Windows 11 machine this evening.New features
Use date and time data types to standardize time and date values in Logix 5000 control systems. Standardized date and time values increase the accuracy
- Date and Time data types
and reliability of time-stamped inputs, scheduled outputs, and time-based registration for motion control. They also help increase accuracy for Sequence of
Events, Time-stamped Data Logging and Analytics, and Time Synchronization within and across systems.
Specify a point in time with absolute time data types: DT (date and time) and LDT (long date and time). Specify a duration or length of time with relative time
data types: TIME32 (duration of time for 32-bit storage), TIME (duration of time for 64-bit storage), and LTIME (long duration of time for 64-bit storage). Date
and time data types are supported in these instructions: ADD, SUB, CLR, MOV, EQU, GEQ, GRT, LEQ, LES, NEQ, GSV, and SSV.
Note: This release is not intended to run on a 32-bit
operating system. All operating systems listed are the
64-bit variant.
- Windows® 10 Professional and Enterprise
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2021 LTSC (v21H2)
- Windows Server 2019 Standard and Datacenter Editions
Functional Changes
Character limit for operands raised from 2048 to 4096
The maximum length for operand expressions is now 4096 characters.
Change in operating system support
Beginning in this release, the product installer prevents installation on all 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems (for example, Windows 10, 32-bit) and any Windows 7 operating system (for example, Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit).
You could already have strings that long if you defined a suitable String data type. Haven't tested with a running processor, but as of v32 the software limits String types to 65535 characters.Does that mean we can have 4096 char strings now? Or am I miss interpreting that?
whaaaaaaa? I thought the string limit was 1024.You could already have strings that long if you defined a suitable String data type. Haven't tested with a running processor, but as of v32 the software limits String types to 65535 characters.
I'm guessing this is something like the limit for entry into eg a CPT instruction.

We use V32 on the 5380s. Is it more on the Control Logixs or am I just dense?
I just created a custom string in v30, 5570. It says "enter a number between 1 and 65535".
