Good Afternoon ,
I have a machine that has ControlLogix in it. It was done with RS Logix 5000 v.20.04 . The manuafacture used Windows XP to design there HMI's using FactoryTalk View. So to possibly make changes to the HMI , I need to use a Windows XP laptop. I could do the conversion , but really don't want to do it at the moment.
My question is , it looks like they did the design with offline tags. I forget how to create the offline tags . In the design tab in Communication Setup , I tried to drill down into the tree , to be able to grab the online tags in the processor , but there is nothing there. So I have 2 laptops hooked up , one Windows 7 to make program changes in the ControlLogix that is version 20.04 and another that is Windows XP to "restore the runtime application" and make changes to the application. This laptop has RS Logix 5000 versions 16.00 and 17.00 .
With the XP Laptop I am not using RS Logix 5000 to reach in and grab the tags , correct ? Could it be the RS Linx version is too low , it is 2.57.00.14 ? I have good network connections.
How would I get the offline tags from the RS Logix 5000 version 20.04 on my Windows 7 , don't you save it has a .L5K file ? So I could save that on a thumb drive , I guess. How would I tranfer that so I can get it in my FactoryTalk View Tag Tree has Offline ?
Thanks so much for your help.
