A
If the firmware upgrade was successful, the
version table on the OS tab of the Control
Panel indicates the new COM OS version
number. The log file at the bottom of the
Hardware Management window also shows
that the upgrade was successful.
IMPORTANT
After you upgrade your controller firmware, you
must upgrade to a corresponding version of RSLogix
Guard PLUS! software.
When you open existing projects, created in
previous versions of RSLogix Guard PLUS! software,
the software automatically converts the project to the
new version.
If you want to keep an existing version of your
project created under the old version of RSLogix
Guard PLUS! software, you must archive the project
using the older version of the software.
It is not possible to revert a project back from a
newer to an older version of the software.
