Map the Real I/O for PLC-5 to ControlLogix Conversionįinally, map the I/O bits to the real ControlLogix I/O Tags.
#CONVERT RSLOGIX 500 TO RSLOGIX 5000 HOW TO#
If you are unsure how to do this, read up on how to add Local I/O and Remote I/O. In this case, we just have an input module in slot 5, and an output module in slot 6. Add I/O ModulesĪt the bottom of the I/O tree, add your I/O Modules to the I/O Configuration tree. Open your ladder, and you will see that the project is translated. As Ken mentioned, the 5000 based controllers are fixed at 0.001s, whch is a 1 millisecond timebase. This is an L5K project, so Studio 5000 will ask to import this file. ControlLogix and CompactLogix are programmed using RSLogix 5000, as opposed to 500, which you are currently using. Now that your project is created, open the project in RSLogix / Studio 5000. Open your new project in RSLogix / Studio 5000 You can also think of them as “Shortcuts” to another tag.įourthly, allow the project to translate, then launch RSLogix / Studio 5000. Remember that Aliases are just another name for a tag. The Aliases will allow us to point the old tag names to the new I/O Locations once our project is complete. Click “Next”.Īt this point, we’ll specify what aliases to create. N7 - INTEGER - Is a data type made up of 16 bits that can represent a number from -32,768 to +32,767. You will also specify the type of ControlLogix processor, and the revision. Learn more about integers in the N7 - INTEGER below and for more information about sequencers go to the RsLogix 500 - Sequencing Machine Steps. In addition, we’ll do a complete save, and export all applicable files.Ĭlose RSLogix 5, then browse for the. Be sure to save your project as a “.PC5” file. Open your PLC-5 project in RSLogix 5, then click “File | Save As”. Likewise, if you are converting an SLC project, be sure to click on the image of the SLC. This Tech Note explains how to export a CSV tag file from RSLogix 500, use the AB Address Importer Utility to convert the tag file, and finally, how to import. In Studio / RSLogix 5000, assuming the utility is installed, click on “Tools | Translate PLC-5/SLC” Export the PLC-5 ProjectĬlick on the image of the PLC-5 to Launch RSLogix 5. Launch the PLC-5 to ControlLogix Conversion Utility We will convert this to ControlLogix using Rockwell’s conversion utility. In short, this is a very simple PLC-5 project. When the timer is finished, the output will energize. In this case, we have a switch that starts a timer.
