Hello,
We have an older SLC500 controlled system that is using a BASIC module to communicate to a third party device. Looking into converting the system to a CompactLogix. Due to cost, the company is wanting to keep the existing IO and put a 1747-AENTR in the SLC IO rack.
I cannot find much info on how to properly set up the M code in Logix5000 though. I have configured the module in logix to match existing configuration, with input and output of 8 words, and set the M0 and M1 files to 64 words as they are currently configured in RS500, but I don't know how to reference them in the logic. Has anyone done a project with something like this?
