I'm working with a customer to copy one of the machines they designed in-house several years ago. The previous PLC programmer had a thing for Omron PLCs, but now they want to use a Micrologix 1400 on the copy. I have the software on my laptop to help, but exposure to Omron has been limited to troubleshooting. I'm working through the learning curve. To start, I'm going through the "Symbols" in the Omron PLC and creating Allen Bradley variables to match, using importing and exporting an Excel .CSV file. I've completed the I/O, the Bits, and Timers. I've hit a speed bump on the "D" values. I'm not quite sure how to tackle that. The manual is not clear, other than saying the "channel" variable is there to accommodate legacy programs. Do you have any insight on how I should approach these "D" values?
