I am working on a PLC2 to PLC5 conversion. It appears that most everything converted ok but I am getting lost with all the math conversions. In the PLC2, I see alot of hundreds, thousands, etc.. math conversions. The PLC5 added a Bit Field Dist function in the new code.
Also, there is a thumbwheel which uses Binary so i am guessing I have to do a TOD FRD instruction to take care of that..
This is my first conversion and I am not familiar with PLC2. I started writing code with PLC5's..
Does anyone know if the conversion is rather painless. I just opened the project with RSLOGIX5 and it asked me a couple of questions, then converted it.. Is there some "Gotcha" involved with these conversions?
Thanks,
