Hello, I'm looking for assistance in converting an RSS file to an SLC file. Despite inquiring, I have been unable to find the necessary software for the conversion. My only options now are to have the vendor handle it or purchase the required software. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Are you using APS or AI-500 software?
Hi Ken, I appreciate your assistance in this matter. I am fairly new to this field and could use some guidance. We are working on transferring a program from a Micrologix 1100 to a 2080-L70E-24QWB. The initial setup was designed by a third party a while back. I have successfully uploaded the software from the old PLC and am diligently documenting all connections and data presets. This will ensure that whoever we bring in to complete the project will have a solid starting point. Thank you for your help.
Thank you for clarifying; I initially assumed you needed the *.SLC file due to the usage of a DOS-era software tool. In the attached files, you will find the *.SLC library format file along with the "Database Export" in Logix 500 format, a common feature found in the Save As menu of RSLogix 500. Unfortunately, I am unaware of any import or conversion tools available in CCW for MicroLogix programs. Additionally, it appears that this project lacks descriptions or labels, likely because it was uploaded without the original project file. Therefore, you will need to engage in reverse-engineering and documentation tasks.
Thanks, Ken for your assistance. I successfully imported the file into CCW and retargeted the project to the new PLC. Currently, I am facing numerous build errors related to undeclared identifiers. It is possible that resolving these errors may lead to the discovery of additional build errors in the future.
Pericj expressed doubt that resolving certain errors would be the end of troubleshooting, anticipating further build issues to arise. However, tackling the problem appears manageable in this case. Unsure of the potential impact on productivity, consider outsourcing the task and a helpful response may follow. Curiously, the author questions the origin of the issue and its resolution. Who is the genius behind this code?
