Utilize the SD card to install a program. Refer to chapter 9 in the user manual for detailed instructions on how to load a program using the SD card. For more information, visit https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/2080-um005_-en-e.pdf.

According to dmroeder, loading a program on the 810's may not be possible as they do not have an SD card slot.

No cost for CCW, so what's the issue?

The elderly gentleman responded, "No, but CCW is available for free, so what's the issue?" When you click to expand, you'll encounter permissions, rules, and regulations. By granting access, you're essentially allowing for the ability to make changes beyond just downloading and running the software. Industries like pharmaceuticals are especially strict when it comes to change control.

Genius in training mentioned that they were not certain, but they believe the 810 model does not include an SD slot. Unfortunately, it looks like I made a mistake.

While it is technically possible to transfer software to a Rockwell Micro810 PLC without using the Rockwell Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software, it's not advised. The CCW software is specifically designed to ensure smooth and error-free transfer of programs to the PLC. Using other means may put you at risk for data corruption and other issues. So while alternatives may exist, I'd strongly recommend using CCW for a hassle-free and reliable process.
