Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of transitioning from an encoder in series A to a new encoder in series B. However, I have encountered a limitation with the program (Rslogix5000, version 20.06) as it does not offer the option to make this change. The previous encoder utilized series A, while the new one belongs to series B.
To properly configure the 842E series B in an RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 project, it is essential to select series A in the I/O Configuration. The Add-On Profile (AOP) version must be at least v2.01.26 and the Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) revision should be 1.03 or higher. Make sure to check that AOP is 2.01.026FW and EDS is at least 1.03 for seamless integration.
Thank you for your feedback. I have successfully installed the encoder and communication is functioning properly. The distance readings are accurate, however, there are velocity spikes throughout the journey. Can you offer any insights into what may be causing this issue?

Answer: 1. Q: Can I upgrade from an encoder in Series A to Series B using Rslogix5000 version 20.06? Unfortunately, Rslogix5000 version 20.06 does not offer the option to transition from an encoder in Series A to Series B directly.
Answer: The limitation faced is that the program (Rslogix5000, version 20.06) does not provide the option to facilitate the transition from the previous encoder in Series A to the new encoder in Series B.
Answer: To overcome this limitation, you may need to explore alternative methods or software versions that support the transition from an encoder in Series A to Series B.
