5.3.8. Modifying an RSLogix 5000 PLC Program Example (Older Versions)
The EtherNet/IP PLC example programs included in the firmware software assembly (.msi) file were
developed on version 13.03 of RSLogix 5000 and may not load properly into older versions of RSLogix 5000.
You can use the following procedure to modify a PLC example program for older versions of RSLogix 5000
when the PLC example program does not load properly.
1.
Start RSLogix 5000 and load a known functional PLC program. (Preferably one with an EtherNet/IP
interface.)
2.
Create an .L5K file by saving the file to the .L5K format.
3.
Open the known functional .L5K file with a text editor.
4.
Open the example .L5K file with a text editor.
5.
Make the following modifications to the .L5K file:
•
Modify the version number (IE_VER) of the example .L5K file to match the version number of the
known functional .L5K file (line 8 of the example .L5K file).
•
Modify the Major revision number of the example .L5K file to match the Major revision number in the
known functional .L5K file (line 11 of the example .L5K file).
6.
Load the example .L5K file into RSLogix 5000.
•
If it loads without errors, follow the appropriate process to modify the example program to run on your
system. The following topics describes how to modify the example .L5K files:
