Just a word of warning for those of you that are thinking about installing version 3.0. In the very end of the EULA, there are some significant restrictions to using the program.
From the EULA:
"LICENSE ADDENDUM TO END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR RSLOGIX SOFTWARE
RSLogix License Restriction:
If the Software is RSLogix, this License does not grant You the right to provide
or utilize the Software as part of or in connection with a third party service or
software application that interacts with the Software: (a) without You manually
inputting all commands (e.g. local or remote keyboard emulation without manual
keyboard input would be prohibited); or (b) by providing or applying automated
instructions or scripting technology to the Software."
And it goes on from there...
No thanks, my own "home-grown" program does the I/O rack creation, automatic I/O comment entry, search & replace, duplicate check, and PCE error correction for errors 109 & 110 (timer errors).
For those of you that have done program conversions before, getting something that will "compile" in RSLogix is only half of the battle. You have the PCE errors to deal with, the I/O to import (properly, the default will indeed get your I/O in there), getting the old I/O comments attached to your new tags, doing the search and replace to replace the aliased (converted) tags to your tags. A heck of a lot of work, and Rockwell now wants you to do it manually. Again, no thanks.
