siemens logo upgrade
(OP)
Siemens upgraded their LOGO! smartrelay to version 0BA6 from 0BA5. There are only a couple of minor additions, however the little memory chip that allows quick and easy program upgrades is not compatible according to Seimens. They informed me however that the new LOGO should be able to read the old chip, but I cannot get it to.
Do any of you use this thing, and if so, has anyone been able to get the old chip (5CA00-0BA0) to work in the new model?
The only upgrades made were an additional couple of analog inputs, adn the screen has better resolution....to my knowledge...

RE: siemens logo upgrade
Yes, I upgraded the software..(logosoft ver. 6.1.5). I am able to program a 0BA6 via the PC, however, according to seimens, and my attempts, the 0BA6 will not talk to the old chips.
Siemens told me that the old chips should be able to be read by the 0BA6 (but not write), however, I tried many different things (3 plc's, 2 chips, different programs, different software) unsuccessfully.
Now, one of our guys says he's had luck putting programs on the 0BA6 with his old chip, so there's something I'm missing...I'm thinking maybe the chips he used were programmed using the old software. I haven't tried the previous version of logosoft, I tried a version of WINLDR that I was using. Nevertheless, I would think programming an old chip with the old software would be less likely to work on a new LOGO than with the new software...??
