D. Programming & Usability

• User-Defined Structures (UDT) Viewer: A new tabbed view to inspect nested UDT members without expanding all levels.
• Quick Key Navigation: Ctrl+Shift+F to find all references of a tag or AOI across entire project.
• Export/Import Wizard: Now supports partial project export (e.g., only routines or only I/O configuration).

5. Software Interoperability

| Component | Minimum Version Required | |--------------------------|--------------------------| | FactoryTalk View Studio | 12.0 | | FactoryTalk Linx | 6.30 | | RSLinx Classic | 4.11 (limited support) | | FactoryTalk Asset Centre | 5.0 |

Supported Upgrade From:

• V34.00 – V34.05 (Direct open/migration)
• V33.00 – V33.04 (Direct)
• V32.00 – V32.03 (Legacy conversion tool required for some UDTs)
• V31 or earlier – Not supported directly. You must first migrate to V32 or V33, then to V35.

2. What’s New? A Feature-by-Feature Breakdown

Migration Steps:

1. Backup all ACD files and export L5K (ASCII) as recovery.
2. Uninstall any previous version of Studio 5000 (optional but recommended).
3. Install FactoryTalk Services Platform 6.30.
4. Install Studio 5000 V35.
5. Open your V34 ACD file – it will auto-convert to V35.
6. Critical: Review all produced/consumed tags; V35 revalidates connection paths.
