  • The latest Kepware versions have not undergone testing with the older firmware of Allen Bradley PLC
    • Here is the tested firmware versions as per Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet driver manual
  • While switching the Protocol Mode to Symbolic has been successful in some cases, it does not provide a guaranteed solution
    • Right click on the device in the channel
    • Select Properties
    • Select Logix Options
    • Under Protocol Options change Protocol Mode to Symbolic
