Convert Rockwell .ACD file to .PDF without Rockwell software - Need help!

Question:

Hello everyone, I am in need of assistance in accessing an Allen Bradley PLC file for manual conversion to Keyence, Mitsubishi, or Omron. Unfortunately, my company does not have licenses for RSLogix, Studio 5000, RSlinx, or any other Rockwell software. I attempted to download a trial version of Studio 5000 but was unable to activate it, likely due to IT security restrictions. If someone could convert the file to a .PDF or a format readable with notepad, I would greatly appreciate it. My .zip file is too large to attach, so please let me know if there is an alternative way for me to share the file, such as via email. Thank you for any assistance provided.

By the way, I think the file was saved using Version 32.

To determine the last saved version of a file, simply open it with Notepad. This will allow you to easily ascertain the version in which it was last saved.

I just reviewed the file on Notepad, and it appears to have been created using RSLOGIX 5000 Version 32.02.00/3736.002. This information should be useful to you.

By compressing the file and uploading it to a post, you increase the chances of finding a skilled individual with the correct software version who can quickly resolve your issue.

I am unable to post my zipped file here due to its large size, but if anyone is able to assist, you can find the file on Google Drive using the following link provided by conveyor861.

I think you're in a bit of a tight spot here. Without access to Rockwell software, converting an Allen Bradley PLC file becomes a bit tricky. It might be possible to hire a freelancer who already has the software and could convert it for you. For large file sharing, I recommend services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer. They're secure and allow you to share sizable files with others without restraint. I wish I could be of more direct help, but without the software, there's not much more to do unfortunately. Best of luck with your project!
