Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify stable communication link between the programming workstation and the PLC processor using the appropriate communication driver (e.g., Ethernet/IP, USB, Serial).

2. 2

   Check the installed firmware revision of the PLC processor against the firmware revision specified in the programming project file.

3. 3

   Inspect the programming software (e.g., Studio 5000 Logix Designer, RSLogix 500) for the correct installation of Add-On Profiles (AOPs) or Device Descriptions corresponding to the specific PLC processor model and firmware revision.

4. 4

   Verify that the RSLinx Classic or RSLinx Enterprise driver configuration correctly identifies the PLC processor model and revision.
