Hello,
I have a UDT in my main RSLogix5000 program called "Servo", it consists of the following;
Servo
Axis01
I have an L5X (rung export) file that contains rungs of code that reference the above UDT "Servo/Axis01" tags.
I would like to import the above L5X file into my main program, put have the imported rungs reference a new UDT called "Servo/Axis02" and still keep the same tag descriptors that were for all of the Axis01 tags.
Here is what I have already tried;
- copied the existing "Servo/Axis01" UDT to a new one named "Servo/Axis02". Tried importing the L5X file selecting the "Servo/Axis02" instead of the default "Servo/Axis01" tag. It let me import it but all my descriptions were blank for all of the "Servo/Axis02" tags.
- I then tried opening the L5X file and replaced all occurences of "Axis01" to "Axis02". I had the same result, all the descriptions were blank for Axis02 after the import.
I am using RSLogix5000 v16 and need to keep it at this version due to having to maintain compatibility with customers. I know that in v17 there is the "Partial Import/Export" functionality that would work in this case. Is there a way to accomplish this in v16, relatively painlessly? I already hate asking our customers to modify the L5X file with Notepad.
Many thanks in advance!
