Hi guys,
Doing a conversion from PLC5 to Controllogix, and so far it's going smoothly. The programs are fairly simple, the errors are minimal and straight-forward.
One recurring error is mismatched data types. The Migration program sets the 5000 data types to DINT by default, and of course, the PLC5 used INT types.
My question is this - would it be good practice just to change all the generated data types from DINT to INT? Or should I only concern myself with those where a PCE pops up?
Like I said, it's a simple program, and I'm not looking to rewrite it. Just wondering if I can prevent some future issues in this way.
Thanks,
Tim Moulder
