Version 20 extends ADC support to the PowerFlex 755 drives. Now, when a module is replaced, the controller will automatically send last known configuration resident in the controller to the configuration data.Īlways supported by Sercos and CIP motion drives. Previously, device configuration data for PowerFlex® drives was kept in the ACD file and had to be manually managed via the AOP of the device. This makes it easier to perform quick, efficient drive replacement without requiring any laptop, software, or user intervention aside from wiring in the new drive and setting a network address. This feature supports the automatic device replacement functionality for drives. If there is a pending request, reboot the workstation before starting the RSLogix 5000 installation. You will not be able to complete the installation without these privileges.If you want to perform online communications, you must install RSLinx Classic software in addition toRSLogix 5000software.Close all other applications before running the setup process.Ensure that there are no pending workstation reboot requests from either Windows Update or any installationprogram. Keep the following considerations in mind before you install the RSLogix 5000 software:Be certain that no copies of RSLogix 5000 software are currently running.Make sure that you have Administrator privileges on the personal computer on which you want to installthesoftware. You might as well do the upgrade pain now because when CPR 10 comes out, master disk keys are supposed to be done and the next version will not support them.Edited by paulengr. I made this jump when I upgraded all the licenses at my former employer and it was hands down much more stable and nice than the master disk method.

If you upgrade to a concurrent license, then you can load the licenses onto a server and share them out across your network, or even 'borrow' a license (temporarily load it onto a laptop). Even without the dongle, if you need to move the license to a different machine or recover it, Rockwell made the procedure fairly painless. The nice part about the dongle is that you can install Logix 500 on as many machines as you want and just move the physical dongle from one machine to another to move the license. There are 3 choices for this: a NIC (network) card, the hard drive serial number, or a special USB dongle that AB sells. The license file is locked onto a hardware serial number. Once you've got an FTA key, everything can be done online.

You give them the old key disk serial number and then they ship you a piece of paper. You can request a free upgrade from Rockwell for an FTA-style key.
