You want to have two separate copies of the program, one set to the Ethernet driver path, and the other set to the DF1 driver path? You now want to permanently change the program's driver path to use the DF1 driver while connected to Channel 0? Your "old program", or existing program, has its driver path set to communicate with the controller using the Ethernet driver while connected to Channel 1? So you appear to be talking about changing the driver path for the program in RSLogix 500? Or just delete any old versions of the program off the computer? Is it best to just create a new file with the new driver specified and copy everything over? Now I want the same functionality (and comments) of the program just with a new driver (in my case a DF1/RS232).

Say I have a program that was set up with an ethernet driver.
#HOW TO UPLOAD PROGRAM IN RSLOGIX 500 DRIVERS#
Is there a good way to switch drivers then?
#HOW TO UPLOAD PROGRAM IN RSLOGIX 500 HOW TO#
Can someone help me to understand what is going on, or how to correctly switch the driver?. and get the program to download and work with the new driver, I lose the comments and some of the data files. Each time I try Who'sActive or System comms. I am attempting to take an old program and use a new driver for it. Yes gbeaker, that's how I am reading it too, but there are a couple of ways to skin this cat, and maybe "slightly" easier too? Any time you open it, it will default to that driver when trying to communicate. Under "Current Settings" change it to the driver you want to use. Just open the existing file and goto the Tools menu, then Options. If I understand correctly, you just want to communicate to the PLC using a different protocol than the default for that program.
