I have a machine that I cannot seem to upload the program from. It kept throwing a fatal error saying that there was an unspecified communications error. The machine is running correctly and hasn't been modified since I started working with it a few years ago.
Fortunately there was a copy of the program on a USB drive. Trying to open it with RSLogix5000 v20.01.00 produces a new error: 'The project file contains an object whose format cannot be converted to it's current version.
I then opened it with RSLogix compare tool which also failed, but at least told me that the version was 20.00 which isn't installed on my computer.
While I have a license which is valid for RSLogix versions <30, it seems rockwell specifically does not allow downloads of version 20.00.00 any more on their website. I understand there were problems between 20.00 and 20.03.
Is there a known solution to this versioning issue? I don't really want to update the firmware, but even if I did I can't open the file to make any adjustments.
