Rslogix 500 64 bit download upgrade#
Upgrade your development applications on a separate Virtual Machine if the upgrade requires risky firmware flashing, you research the roadblocks and build this into your production plan.
Same, exact computer running on a new PC hardware platform.and old OS running inside of a new OS. That last suggestion is to consider virtualizing your development computers. This possibility often scares production managers into sticking with what is and has been working very well. In migrating firmware and PLC programs and HMI applications to the latest version, one can often make the process inoperable due to compatibility issues. Consider setting up the first upgrade PC with latest versions and take the learning curve as you go. Another issue to consider is, especially with Rockwell software products, that the latest version sometimes comes with a whole new set of issues that the older version did not. Unless you are a new machine builder or you have new processes coming into your facility, upgrading to latest version development software typically does not yield any performance improvements. 21 requires you to flash the CPU firmware to a newer version (as well as flashing the Kinetix 350 servo controllers to a newer version). One such obstacle I know for a fact is upgrading to Studio5000 Ver. What is the business case to justify upgrading the PCs and development software? There are a number of obstacles with upgrading each program application, so unless you have a lot of free time, take the upgrades with baby steps first. Lack of support, with XP operating system, in my opinion only means that if your PCs took a bit crap that they would be difficult to rebuild exactly. You could have one virtual PC for your old software versions and one for the new. That makes it very easy to save a snapshot of a PC, or create multiple PCs. If you want to try something different use Oracle VM VirtualBox (free). I completely agree with ASForrest, use virtual PCs.

Or check the knowledge document for the latest Going from v5 to v8 will also change your tag database to SQL, but the install should walk you through that.

If you are cautious, wait until the next patch roll up is released. If you use security then you definitely want to be using v8 (ever try to move a project from one PC to another? v8 fixes the security problems). Shawn has a good write up below, and you can also search the AB knowledgebase FTview 8.0 is a good upgrade, especially from v5.

You will need to be careful on how to update your FTView projects to 64 bit. It is also more likely that Win 7 64bit is where the majority of development/testing/patches are being used, which gives you better future support. If you have issues with the software you will get better help from tech support. I've had very good results with VMWare, and Paralells is another VM platform which I haven't used but by all accounts seems to be worth a look as well. It's really the way of the future for automation programming and there are 100 different ways it will save you time/money/headaches. One other thing.I'd highly recommend investigating virtual machines for your new setup.
And if you're concerned about the FTView issue above come back with some specifics about your situation and we can probably tell you how to cover your bases before you make the leap.

The only issue is with some older FTView ME projects that were created on a 32 bit version of windows - you have to open them on a 32 bit version of windows to convert them to 64 bit, so if you only have 64 bit, you can get stuck there. Version 7 works fine on W7, I can't see any reason version 8 wouldn't. FTView is now up to version 8, although I haven't tried it yet. And this platform is not firmware dependant so you should be fine with RSLogix 500 on a windows 7 machine. RSLogix 500 is now up to version 9, not version 8. But as long as you're running reasonably new versions of firmware in all your PLC's, you should be fine. If you have any PLC's with earlier firmware versions than that, you're going to have to hold onto an XP machine or plan a time to flash the firmware.
Studio 5000/RSLogix 5000 is only supported on Windows 7 from about v17 (I think?), but works all the way back to v13 with no issues. I run almost all my rockwell software on Window 7 64 bit. Much of it will work, but if you ever have issues you won't get any help out of them if you're running an unsupported OS. Windows 8 is not supported for the majority of Rockwell software. You're right, you need to get away from it as soon as you can.
