- When using firmware revision 32, it may not be possible to create a backup. Error messages may occur during job execution. This is a known behavior. If you experience this, we recommend using a different revision of the firmware and running the job again.
Requirements
-
To perform uploads, ensure the following software versions are installed on the same machine where the octoplant server or agent is running:
- RSLogix 5000 (version 10.x or later, Standard and Professional Edition)
- RSLinx Classic (version 3.51 or later) or FactoryTalk Linx (formerly RSLinx Enterprise Edition)
-
If you are upgrading to FactoryTalk Linx:
- Uninstall RSLinx Classic before starting the upgrade.
- Manually reconfigure the communication path in the Job configuration section.
- If you are using agents, make sure they are running with administrative privileges.
-
You can find the system requirements for RSLogix 5000 on the Rockwell Automation website.
-
To support uploads, the VDog MasterService, VDog UploadAgent, and VDog CompareAgent services must not run under the LocalSystem account. Use an administrator account or another account with administrative rights.
-
To ensure reliable communication, it is recommended to launch either the agent or the VDog MasterService (whichever is in use for this device) as an application, under the following conditions:
- If RSLogix software is installed on a different machine, agents are required on that machine.
- Agents must be capable of launching and interacting directly with the RSLogix software.
- The setup requires both administrative rights and access to the user interface.
For detailed instructions, see Starting agents and VDog MasterService as applications.
