A customer is wanting to use their 1771 IO and a Controllogix processor to take advantage of the newer features of the Controllogix platform. The plan is to use a small CLX rack with a processor with a ControlNet card, then add a 1771-ACN15 in place of the PLC5 processor.
I have run the conversion utility in RSLogix5000, and I have some questions: 1.) Can I add modules to the project offline? (I don't appear to be able to do this) If not, this will likely make my time at their site a little more stressful. 2.) What will the IO look like once I am onsite and connect, and am ready to alias the tags? 3.) What is the difference in the BTR/W instructions for the analog IO?
I am continuing to search and read what I can find, but any help from someone who has done this would be much appreciated.
