Hello Gents,
I'm tasked with preparing the replacement of our current "fleet" of PLC5's with something modern and we're going with the Control Logix platform for it.
I tried the conversion tool on RS Logix 20.01 to convert one PLC5 project to RSLogix and the result wasn't very good. There were some platform dependent errors that I was expecting, but the conversion basically creates a tag array with the N, F, B file types and unloading the code in a routine that is then ran at a set rate of 500ms with a timer to trigger it.
One issue the original code has is that whoever commented it wasn't descriptive and I am starting from a poorly commented code and with very few variable names/descriptions that make sense.
Has anyone done this conversion with a more recent tool of the code converter? And for the ones familiar with the AB platform, what would be your advice for this replacement?
