RSLogix 5
(OP)
Hello i have a quick question for you guys if don't mind answering it.
I opened a existing PLC5 program and then saved it as a different name and made some modifications and now that i've saved it. The new file i made the changes to is smaller then the original. The original is 1042KB and the new one i made modifications to is 746KB is this a normal thing or did something not save maybe.
Thanks alot in advance for your help

I know that with Logix5000 there is a "compact" instruction under the "File" pulldown menu, which allows you to compact the database. This can reslut in file size reductions like you mentioned.
I don't happen to have Logix5 installed at the moment, but my guess is that when you created a new file, by saving as a different filename, the database was compacted.

It does not contain the online image, which may only be created once the program is downloaded to a processor and online save adds the online image.
