I am in need of establishing communication with a CompactLogix 1769-L31 using Studio 5000 on my computer. Despite seeing controllers like L30 and L32 listed, the L31 is missing. How can I add the L31 controller to my project menu in Studio 5000?
Which versions of Studio 5000 are currently installed on your system? As per Rockwell Automation, the -L31 model is compatible with Studio 5000 versions 13 to 20.
I have versions 24 and 30 of the software. I am unable to recall the steps for downloading previous versions, even though I have done it before.
Visit the official RA website and navigate to the "Downloads" section. Locate the option for "Downloads by Serial Number" where you can input your serial number and product key to access your downloads. If you do not have a support contract (TechConnect), contact your nearby distributor for assistance with accessing the downloads you need.
Is the software version prior to 20 referred to as Logix5000, while versions 20 and above are known as Studio 5000? It seems that the L31 model only supported up to v20, so Logix5000 may be what you need. The change in naming conventions during that period was a bit confusing.
TheWaterboy pointed out that versions before 20 were known as Logix5000, while version 20 and above are referred to as Studio 5000. The L31 model only supported up to v20, so Logix5000 would be the correct choice. The change in name was indeed confusing. In essence, v20 and earlier were referred to as RSLogix5000, while v21 and later are known as Studio5000 or Studio5000 Logix Designer.
It sounds like you might need to check if the correct version of the Studio 5000 software is installed, as support for the 1769-L31 can vary between versions. If your version does support it, try refreshing the controller catalog or adding it manually by using the "Add New Module" option and searching for the L31 under the CompactLogix series. Sometimes, a simple software update can resolve these types of issues if it’s not appearing at all. If it’s still not showing, you might want to ensure that your software license includes the L31 model, as certain editions have limitations.
