I remember there being a problem with Studio 5K versions above v32 that I'm supposed to steer clear of. Although I can't quite remember the exact issue, I do recall that they made a significant revision change very rapidly. As I am in the process of upgrading my outdated development station, I have yet to work on any projects using a version above v32. If there is indeed one to avoid, please advise me on which version it is.
A notification was received regarding version V32 and others. For more information, refer to the discussion on Studio 5000 v32 / 5380 v32 Stability. Currently on version V30, I am interested in utilizing the new features in V32, particularly the improved ST debugging capability for better visibility of tag values in my ST code. It appears that Studio V32 cannot be used with V30 firmware, which is disappointing. Despite this limitation, I have successfully used V32.04 with a CompactLogix L320 without any problems. Visit www.plctalk.net for more details.
For over a year, my top two clients have been utilizing version 32.04 without any problems. I have also successfully implemented versions 33, 34, and most recently 35 without any issues. I consistently update with the monthly patch roll-up provided by RA.
I can't help but wonder what's on my mind right now. Perhaps it's the latest patch rollup for Windows 10. Do you receive notifications for this update or do you need to manually check for it each month? I believe they changed the mnemonics in version 34, and it's driving me crazy trying to remember them.
If you were one of the early users who downloaded the initial version of 33.00.00, which was quickly removed from the site, you may have experienced significant controller malfunctions. Fortunately, RA promptly released version 33.00.01 to address these issues. It seems like there may have been a mistake in uploading the wrong build. Many users missed out on the chance to download this version before it was taken down.
Throughout the history of Logix, I have found the best success with versions 20.04, 28 (the latest version), 32.04, and 34 (the latest version). Version 21 was particularly problematic, especially during the transition from .03 to .04 and in terms of compatibility.
The version you might be thinking of is v33, when they integrated with FactoryTalk View Studio. Many users experienced compatibility issues and other instabilities with this version. However, these issues have largely been resolved since version v34. If you're planning to upgrade, I'd recommend skipping v33 and opting for v34 or above, as they offer advanced features and improved stability. As with any major version change though, I'd recommend thorough testing in a controlled environment before rolling it out in production.
I think you're referring to the glitch that was found in version v33. This issue could potentially lead to a loss of communication in certain scenarios, resulting in unsystematic operation. The issue was recognized swiftly by the development team and they rolled out a patch later, but many in the community choose to stick with v32 or jump directly to v34 to be on the safe side. I would suggest doing the same until you're well accustomed to the new environment.
Yes, you're thinking of Studio 5K v31 onwards, where some users reported problems with tag synchronization and overall slower performance. However, as of v33.013, Rockwell has addressed these issues. I'd recommend upgrading to v33 or v34, which have the added benefit of offering new features and improved stability, plus Rockwell has been proactive about issuing patches for any reported problems. As always, before any significant upgrade, ensure you have a reliable backup of your projects and thoroughly test the new version on a non-critical system first.
