I downloaded the rslogix-5-sum-integer-file and received the zip file. I cannot ope the Shawn’s PLC5 File Sum Example.RSP in Studio or RSLogix 5000. What is needed to open this file?
Good morning Ray,
If you want to use a PLC-5 / RSLogix 5 program in RSLogix 5000 you’ll need to import it:

I’m going to refund your purchase (we only net $0.65 which is used to cover file hosting) since you don’t seem to have RSLogix 5,
