As far as timers, the time base in ControlLogix is always 1 millisecond. Adjust your timers accordingly. As the accumulator is a DINT (32 bits) that s quite a time range available.
 
biggest differences:

Block Transfers will have to be reworked into MSG (Message) commands ...

big tip: if your PLC-5 system used ANALOG modules, (etc.) then carefully save the "configuration" data values that were previously transferred by the Block Transfer Writes ... you'll have to MANUALLY enter those values into the new data arrays ... be sure that these arrays are created as INT locations – not the default DINTs ...

also be extremely careful with the addresses of I/O bits ... the PLC-5 uses OCTAL addresses – ControlLogix uses DECIMAL addresses ... the addresses of I/O bits past "07" will usually be renumbered ...
