Comparing Control Logix program files 1

[dcwoodward]

Does anyone know a way to compare two Allen-Bradley ControlLogix project files? In the RSLogix 5 software there is a selection under "Tools" in the Menu Bar titled "Compare...", but I can't find anything like that in the RSLogix 5000 software.

The "Compare" tool didn't get built in to the software yet...but it's a free utility download at

http://domino.automation.rockwell.com/applications/gs/emea/gsGB.nsf/pages/rslogix5000_comp.

If that link doesn't work, google "RSLogix 5000 Compare Tool" and that should get you to the necessary Rockwell Automation site. Good Luck!

You're welcome! Hey...I think that's my first star.

Any such tool for RSLogix 5? my old PLC5 programming software had it (I don´t even remembre its name anymore, IPDS or something like that), but my version of Logix 5 doesn´t.

I have Logix5 Pro v6.0 and it has it under tools...compare. Don't know about other versions?

I have a prehistoric version that doesn´t have it, v3.22, but rather than upgrading I would prefer a standalone utility like the one for RSL5000
