IXON Cloud is designed to offer you easy remote access, remote programming and remote monitoring across the internet to machines and installations at the customer’s site or in the field. After all, nobody wants to undermine the security or daily operations of the parties involved. A prerequisite for industrial remote access is that machines can be accessed from the internet in a secure and reliable way. Operating problems faced by engineers can be solved more efficiently with remote access to the control system. Using remote access, you can remotely troubleshoot and program your Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley control systems.

If it's on your desk.well that's up too you lol. If it's in a machine, I would leave it at v24. Should be fine, but you never know.ĭepends on your situation too.is this PLC in a machine that is spitting out product, or is it sitting on a desk somewhere. Honestly that would be my backup plan though. If you need to update the firmware I would make sure I had the original program backed up, I would look for any firmware dependancies, and I would make sure I had a spare controller if I needed it. You can download any version of Studio or RSLogix from the Rockwell website. I have many versions of Studio and RSLogix installed on my machine because of this, since I know sometimes bad things happen with firmware updates.

My first thought would be to install Studio v24 and let the PLC stay the same. I would hesitate to update the firmware initially. It sounds like this is a PLC that has probably been in place for awhile. For instance if you are using SERCOS drives, the SERCOS card's firmware has to match the firmware in the controller. Something to keep in mind is that some devices firmware have to match the firmware in the controller.
