Hi All
I have just started a project to convert one of our machines from SLC500 to CLX5000. One of the first steps in the Rockwell guide was to run a 'Delete Unused Memory' Instruction on the SLC program. When I looked at the memory areas being deleted I found that some of it was actually referenced by devices on the network but not within the SLC500 CPU.
My solution is to create some rungs of code referencing memory above that which I need to keep, just a move instruction to a Garbage register.
my questions are
Is this 'Delete Unused Memory' step really required
Is there a better way to preserve these internally unreferenced memory areas?
cheers
