That is correct. RSLinx Lite can be use to download and upload to PLCs. I believe that all the driver are enabled as well. The DDE/OPC fetures are disabled though. That is why it can not be used to talk to any third pary package or HMI software.
Technically, RSLinx Lite can't download to, upload from, or program anything. It is used to communicate between a PLC and a PC so an RSLogix package can do those functions.

The origional post is now 7 months old and the 10 point starter pack referred to, has been superseded by a version that will program all ML1000, ML1100, I think ML1200, and I am not sure, but I feel it will not do ML1400, or ML1500.
Its available for down load from Rockwells web site.
It will only work with 1000's and 1100's, But it is FREE and works great, its the same as the full version RS Logix500 but limited to just the smaller PLC's
