Switching platforms carry a lot of hidden costs, and a lot of companies would rather deal with Rockwell's idiosyncracies than risk having a machine get extra downtime due to a PLC learning curve. It's not because they're the best, or that they're particularly good it's because it's what everybody here is used to. As an integrator, 99 times out of 100 a customer will specifically request Allen-Bradley PLCs in their machine/process. Rockwell doesn't have to have a good website because they dominate the US market. The correct way to go about it is to install RSLinx 3.6+ FIRST and THEN install Networx 21+ I would never go back to a pre-3.60 version of RSlinx, and I don't even bother with RSNetworx, but I understand some people have to. Likewise, the RSNetworx packages went from version 11 to version 21. Also, the backwards incompatibility between Linx and Networx is because they made a massive leap with EDS file processing, so they went from RSLogix 2.59 to 3.60.

I hate the Rockwell website, and it absolutely gets me steaming when someone says "just go to the website!" I know where the software downloads are but to someone who is unfamiliar with it and doesn't know it's hidden on a page in a pull-down menu under Support, it's ludicrous.

RSLINX CLASSIC FAILED TO INSTALL ED DATA FILES DOWNLOAD

Just download v24 last week.īest of luck, I never seem to have activation issues or install problems.

RSLINX CLASSIC FAILED TO INSTALL ED DATA FILES PLUS

Easier to build my own library of what I actually use, plus it allows me to stay updated. Personally, I just download what I need and don't even bother with the toolkit hard drive anymore. So I am wondering how you were able to install v19 with the v21 installer however I'm assuming your DVDs have them all but a question to ask. Not just for Rockwell either.ĭoes the DVD still come with all previous versions still? We get the toolkit hard drive now and they don't include previous releases anymore. If you can't rely on your internet service to allow you to download large files, well you might want to re-think that.

Queue a bunch of Rockwell supporters telling you how not to judge them to harshly and that thier products are the best and if you could only. In truth the price/performance sweet spot isn't with PLCs but people get a little skittish when you mention that. The price/performance sweet spot is definitely with the smaller players. There are better values out there, although it isn't a bad "everything for everybody" solution with a pretty good focus on the lowest common denominator. And I would even grant you the price/performance argument. Too many layers and the initial layer or two are book readers doing what you could do yourself.

So how you got so far down the rabbit hole is beyond me. I have had to perform conservatively 15-20 installs of various pieces of Rockwell (or Allen-Bradley) software over that time and I have never EVER had to call anyone for help with an install, much less tech support. I have been a Rockwell user for over 20 years. While your troubles are obviously real I can't quite figure out how you get yourselves into such trouble with a software install. I doubt anyone from Rockwell will read this, and I doubt they would care even if they did. I did try to post my rant to the web feedback section on RA's website but the web server threw an exception error and didn't accept it. Next time I'll recommend we go with Siemens, and stay away from this bloated, incompatible mess. I guess rockwell do not want to stay in business? The RA website is about as clear as warm bubbling sewage. I found no mention of that anywhere in the supplied documentation, and only found out after installing said ****, and then looking for support via google. Even more disappointed to see that RS Studio dropped support for older PLCs. Highly disappointed that nothing has improved in the last 4 years (last time I installed Rockwell software). Regardless, I still haven't found rslinx for download anywhere on the site. Also I have a connection speed that would take days to download 300MBs. Supplier tells me to go download RSlinx from the website, which as I said above is completely un-navigable, and clear as mud. The Rockwell telephone line simply disconnected me for selecting the "post sales support" option. Terrible setup / install experience closely followed by terrible support.

The freshly supplied Rockwell DVD PN-262969 (V21.03.01) apparently has an outdated RSlinx according to rsnetworx which is on the same DVD. I've spend 8 hours trying to install RSlogix 5000 V19, Rslinx, and rsnetworx for device net on a fresh win 7 vm install.
