Does my HI 1771WS configuration software has the upgrade for the RS Logix 5?

When you start the HI 1771WS configuration software, the window titles will have the "HARDY INSTRUMENTS" name in the title.

If the titles do not show the Hardy Instruments name, then it is recommended to upgrade your software.

If you would like the upgraded version of the configuration software, you can download this file from the Hardy web site "hardysolutions.com". You will find this upgrade by clicking on "Docs and Programs" section and then "Programs and Firmware".

If the new file fails to install: Failure of the HI 1771WS configuration software to properly install the upgraded .DLL file is normally caused by a mismatch in the version of software involved. To overcome this mismatch the old file needs to be removed first. The procedure for this would be:

1. Using Windows Explorer, find the "WS.DLL" file located in the Rockwell/Common directory.
2. Delete the WS.DLL file.
3. Run the setup/installation of the new .DLL file.

This will then install the upgraded .DLL file.
