Compatibility
The import/export feature supports backward compatibility for import operations
and forward compatibility for export operations.
Backward compatibility means that the Logix Designer application can import
.l5k or .l5x files generated by a previous version of the application. In some cases,
an older .l5k file might not correctly import into a later version of the application.
