Convert slc logistics file (ICOM) to SLC500 (.RSS) ? - PLCS.net

katratzi · May 2nd, 2006, 01:40 PM

Can someone tell me if it is possible to convert a file
that was developed using the SLC Logistics software by ICOM to an (*.RSS) file that can be read by RSLogix500? Will Logix500 open this file as is?

What is the Icom file extension? ACH?
I know Logix500 can open the programs produced from AI.

rdrast-

There are eight files associated with the project. Their extensions are: .dfg (70kb), .slc(3kb), .sld(27kb), .slf(1kb), .slp(8kb), .slr(26kb), .slt(1kb), and .slx(8kb). I do not know which one contains the ladder.

I believe the .slc is an ascii export format and rslogix500 should be able to open it. The ICOM/AI would have a .ACH extention as one of it's primary file type.

suggestion: zip up all of the files and post them ... someone here will probably be able to do the conversion for you ...

Here they are

That isn't a 500 program, it's an SLC 100/150 program from the looks of it...

You are right. I'm sorry, I didn't mention that these files were
from a SLC-150 plc. Duh. I think I was just hoping there was a way to convert this so it could be opened in RSLogix500.

No, it can't be converted to Logix500... The addressing and instructions are different. To open that, you need PCIN from AB, I don't have a copy here, but might have one at home. I'll look around if needed.

Thanks, that would be a big help. If you need my e-mail address just let me know.
