Has anyone use the software to convert A-series PLC program to a new Q-series PLC?

If so, what hints, tips or tricks can you share?


Thanks,

Scott

Hi
I did this a few years ago.
I remeber that the internal markers M9036 etc had to be replaced to suit the Q's and that I had to recheck the timer timebase settings.

I also removed the analog input scaling routines and used the tool for the Q analog card itself

Cheers

Thanks for your help.

Go to www.meau.ca They have a section on their website that helps a lot. I have done many A to Q conversions including Network, analog, serial, and counting cards; have had good luck doing them all.
