Note
•
By default, OS version shows the most recent OS version released
with your version of VisiLogic. To check if more recent OS versions
are available, run Live Update from the Web. Note that Live update
does not install the new operating system, which must be installed
as described above.
•
You can also install an older OS version by selecting an OS version
via the drop-down arrow, and then clicking Download.
•
System Fonts are used by the controller to show system messages
that are not part of your program, such as a message that the
controller is in Stop Mode. These fonts are part of the OS, and do
not need to be downloaded separately.
•
The first number in the OS number is the main version number,
followed by the sub-version and Build number.
You can check to see if new OS versions have been released using Live
Update, via Help>Check for Updates>Operating System.
Application Version Mismatch (Err - Old Topic)
After OS download, the PLC may display one of these messages. This message
appears when base versions of the OS and of VisiLogic do not match, for
example, OS version 3.5x / VisiLogic version 3.6x, or from OS 4.5x to VisiLogic
4.0x. This means there is an incompatibility between the VisiLogic version of
the project in the controller and the OS.
