      This video guides converting RSLogix 500 to Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

       

      Modernizing hardware requires careful migration of RSLogix programs. This video guides converting RSLogix 500 to Studio 5000 Logix Designer. It covers the use of the migration wizard in RSLogix 500 v12, which simplifies the process compared to the previous standalone utility. 

      Video Highlights

      • Migration Wizard: RSLogix 500 version 12 introduces a built-in migration tool for easier conversion.
      • Remove Unused Elements: Clean up the RSLogix 500 file by deleting unnecessary memory addresses before migrating.
      • File Type Selection: Save the program as a Logix Designer file to initiate the conversion process.
      • Patience Required: The conversion can take time, so be prepared to wait for the configuration screens.
      • Tag Management: Address comments transfer helps maintain clarity, but may require manual adjustments post-migration.
      • CSV Manipulation: Exporting tags to a CSV can streamline the process of updating comments for large systems.
      • Post-Conversion Cleanup: After migrating, clean up any untranslatable instructions in the new environment.
