Hey,
Can you guys help explain this to me, I have always seem to get this confused.
The question is whats the difference between the Rslogix 5000 software version vs the firmware version of the PLC controller?
Say for example when you get a new Compactlogix controller new out of the box it will have a low revision number installed on it and if I have a PLC program the has a software version of 16 on it.
I would have to install at least firmware version 16 on the new PLC controller....right? Do they have to match?
Could the PLC controller firmware revision ever be greater than the PLC software program & open correctly?
As you can see I'm confused on this process
Can someone be so kind to explain this to me
Thanks,
