Introduction
This utility converts (migrates, translates) AB PLC5 (1785) and SoftLogix5 programs that were created with the RSLogix 5 programming software to RSLogix 5000, ControlLogix (CLx). We do not use the Translation tool and is therefore a more complete conversion. |
|
|
|
Data
Each data table will be converted into a one-dimentional array of identical data type (O,I,N,B as INT; F as REAL; T as TIMER; C as COUNTER). For example, N7:59 will become N007[59]. The B3 file will become an INT array with a tag name of B003. A sample address may be B003[2].9. |
|
|
|
Logic
The ladder logic is converted using Smart Translation Technology.
Most instructions will convert without any issues. Some instructions convert but have additional logic added by the conversion utility to emulate the original instruction. A few instructions cannot be converted. They will be noted in the conversion log.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
All documentation converts with the following exceptions:
Symbols are converted to alias'. Some characters cannot be used in tag names. These alias' will be renamed.
Instruction comments do not convert. |
|
|
|
I/O
There are two options for remapping the I/O:
NONE: I/O addresses stay at their I or O array address
DHRIO: I/O addresses will be remapped to a DHRIO module with 1771-ASB as a full rack. Local I/O will need to have a 1771-ASB added |
