I hope the above information on version 20.03 was helpful. 565682 – Unable to open a Version 20 RSLogix 5000 Project.565684 – Incompatible minor version error in RSLogix 5000 when trying to go online.If your production lines are running non-stop and you don’t have time to upgrade all your RSLogix 5000 PC’s, as well as take your Logix PAC’s down in order to download the version 20.03 program files, you may wish to wait until you can comfortably schedule doing so into your production schedule… if you feel a need to migrate at all.įor more detailed information on RSLogix 5000 version 20.03, see the below three links to public knowledgebase documents from Rockwell Automation detailing this release: So, what should you do?
