Hello, I would like to know if there is a formula or a way of determining what the bit file from an RSL5 will become in RSL5000? For example: I ran a conversion from RSL5 to RSL5000 and one of the bit files went from B:13/66 to B13[4].2 and I wondered if there was a quick and dirty way to figure this out, without putting it on a template I made in Excel. Thank you
 
Never mind, it was a dumb question. All I had to do was divide by 16 then multiplying the remainder by 16 gave me the bit location as well. Everyone probably already knows this.....but me. Lol
 
do a Right-Click on an EMPTY area of the old PLC file - and try changing the settings shown below ...

basic idea: RSLogix5000 doesn't use COLONS or SLASHES in the "binary bit" addresses the way that RSLogix5 used to allow ...

(glad you got it figured out on your own)
