Rockwell Studio 5000 version compatability

[jaden]

I am trying to connect with a Compact Logix L32E with version 20 firmware.
I have downloaded ver. 20.05 software, it says it is installed successfully, but the L32 processor does not show up as a choice in the Studio 5000. Dealer thinks the older versions don't work with the newer applications? Any ideas?

The 1769-L32E absolutely should be supported by RSLogix 5000 v20.05.

Are any CompactLogix controllers listed in the drop-down menu when you create a new project ?

If you also have v21 or newer software installed, be sure you are opening "RSLogix 5000", not "Studio 5000 Logix Designer".

v20 and prior was "RSLogix 5000", v21 to present is "Studio 5000 Logix Designer".

Before doing anything with Studio 5000,, are you able to see the PLC in RsLinx, via USB or ethernet ?

Ken;
You called it! Out of habit, I was using Studio 5000, not RS5000. Thanks for the help.
