Project to Controller Matching
The Project to Controller Match feature affects the download, upload, and go
online processes of standard and safety projects.
If the Project to Controller Match feature is enabled in the offline project,
RSLogix 5000 software compares the serial number of the controller in the
offline project to that of the connected controller. If they do not match, you must
cancel the download/upload, connect to the correct controller, or confirm that
you are connected to the correct controller, which updates the serial number in
the project to match the target controller.
Firmware Revision Matching
Firmware revision matching affects the download process. If the revision of the
controller does not match the revision of the project, you are prompted to update
the firmware of the controller. RSLogix 5000 software lets you update the
firmware as part of the download sequence.
Safety Status/Faults
Uploading program logic and going online is allowed regardless of safety status.
Safety status and faults affect the download process only.
You can view the safety status via the Safety tab on the Controller Properties
dialog box.
IMPORTANT To update the firmware of the controller, first install a firmware upgrade kit.
An upgrade kit ships on a supplemental CD along with RSLogix 5000
software.
TIP You can also upgrade the firmware by choosing ControlFLASH™ from the Tools
menu in RSLogix 5000 software.
