Plan for Online Edits
Before editing online:
• decide if you want to keep test edits after a switchover.
• be aware that finalizing edits removes your original logic.
• decide how you want to set aside unused memory.
IMPORTANT
Create and maintain only one RSLogix 5000 project for the pair
of redundant controllers. When you download the project to the
primary controller, the project automatically crossloads to the
secondary controller.
