Hi there,
I was hoping for some advice on the best place to start on a PLC conversion. For my first ever large project I've been tasked with the migration of an old Reliance Electric Automax PLC to an Allen Bradley ControlLogix.
I've made a start by creating a new project and setting up the tasks and I/O configuration in CLX. Next, I was going to go to work on replicating the old Automax database in CLX. I've generated an Automax address ordered configuration listing (the _CONF.CNL file) and was going to start making this into a meaningful .CSV file to import the tags into CLX. Before getting too involved, I thought this would be a good opportunity to see if anybody had previous experience in this nature of upgrade and had a best possible starting point, tips or useful info.
Thanks in advance,
Kane
