Hello,
I have been given the task of upgrading a SLC 500 5/04 cell to a CompactLogix system. I chose to use the L30ER processor. I am keeping the SLC 500 Chassis and using a 1747 AENT card to connect the Compactlogix to the SLC 500 rack. In the original rack there is a Devicenet card. During the conversion , the Device net card will be removed from the SLC 500 rack and the appropiate Device Net card will be installed into the CompactLogix "rack". I have done the conversion from RS Logix 500 to Studio 5000 V 21. I am unable to get the original dnt file. I am trying to set up the communication path in the logic. I understand that that the original Device net card uses 16 bit integers and the New Device Net card uses 32 bit.
In RS Logix 500 , it looks like each of the devices on the network uses 4 - 16 bit words.
I was wondering if someone has done this before and if anyone would be able to show me some example logic to do this?
The Device Net network is for 4 robots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Still learning.
