Launching Studio 5000 and Backing-up your Logix Controller Program.Establishing a RSLinx Connection – Ethernet.

If you are connecting to your device via a serial connection, go ahead and read Part I for detailed instructions on how to backup your program when connecting to a serial controller. In Part II, we will go over backing up your Logix Controller Program for your Ethernet/USB Controllers. Welcome to Part II of our “How to Backup an Allen-Bradley Logix Controller Program”. Third party devices have to be supported by their vendor.Your guide to backing-up your Logix Controller Program My research in the RA Knowledgebase suggests that the 1732-16CFGM12QCR module is really only supported by v20: Knowledgebase article ID 476471 suggests that only v20 and only a v20 AOP will work with that module. This brings us to the current issue: you have a version 19.01 system, so the new A-B module isn't native to it, and neither the Turck nor the A-B modules can use the EDS-based-AOP method from v20. It's still not super-simple, but it's a lot easier than formal AOPs. A specially formatted section in the EDS file allowed devices to show up in the RSLogix 5000 hardware selector without going through the AOP mechanism. For v20, Rockwell Software rolled out a third method for I/O device configuration in RSLogix 500: the EDS-based AOP. Devices that didn't have a Module Profile or an Add-On Profile had to be created as Generic Modules, or couldn't be run as I/O by the controller. Creating an AOP was complicated and required a module vendor to work closely with the RSLogix 5000 developers. Prior to v20, the I/O tree could be populated with the pre-defined Modules as well as modules that had an Add-On Profile (AOP) created, tested, and added to the RSLogix 5000 installation. The I/O tree configuration in RSLogix 5000, however, is a different function. The Hardware Installation tool is a standalone way to edit the Windows registry, store the EDS file in the RSCommon/EDS directory with the proper name encoding, and therefore make a new device visible to the RSLinx and RSNetworx browses. The RSLinx Classic network device browser is EDS-based, and has been since the mid 1990's.
