A-2 Programming Software Versions, Compatibility, and Firmware Updates
About RSLogix Guard Software, Version 3.3
RSLogix Guard software can go online to any GuardPLC controller to
start, stop or reboot the controller. However, you cannot open any
projects that include unsupported controllers in the project tree, for
example GuardPLC 1600. RSLogix Guard software cannot download
programs to a GuardPLC 1600 or 1800.
RSLogix Guard software can go online, download, and monitor
programs in series C GuardPLC 1200 and GuardPLC 2000 controllers.
However, not all functionality is supported. RSLogix Guard does not
allow you to configure GuardPLC Distributed I/O on GuardPLC
Ethernet. If you are online with a series C controller, some items, such
as the subnet mask appear incorrectly due to memory map changes
between series B and series C controllers.
About RSLogix Guard PLUS!
RSLogix Guard PLUS! version 3.5 added support for GuardPLC 1600
and GuardPLC 1800 controllers, and GuardPLC Distributed I/O, as
well as offline simulation and online test features.
RSLogix Guard PLUS! can be used to monitor, start, and stop an
operational series B GuardPLC 1200 or GuardPLC 2000 controller.
RSLogix Guard PLUS! version 4.0 adds support for DeviceNet Safety to
GuardPLC 1600 and GuardPLC 1800 controllers. Version 4.0 supports
the DeviceNet Safety Scanner for GuardPLC Controllers (1753-DNSI),
and 1791DS DeviceNet Safety I/O. GuardPLC 1200 and
GuardPLC 2000 do not support DeviceNet Safety.
TIP
If you need to download to a series B controller
using RSLogix Guard PLUS!, update the controller to
series C. This prevents the problem of downloading
with functionality that the series B GuardPLC
controllers do not support.
