Hi Shawn, I acquired a 1769-L36ERM with various I/O cards that currently has a program in it that was written version 32.011. My version of Studio 5000 is 36. If i ping the Contrologix I am able to see it, but am unable to view the program in the plc. Is my issue version compatibility and if so can you suggest a solution? The only version on the computer i am using is 36.

Thanks,

Troy Johnson

Good afternoon Troy,

Thanks for your question.

You have a couple of options – install v32 (and any other versions you need) in additional to v36, or upgrade the L36 to v36, but this will wipe out the existing program.

Hope that helps,
