Help required on SLC 5/03 PLC addressing

Hello List,

I want to help on the conversion of file (input, Output, integer, float,etc) addresses of Allen Bradley SLC 5/ 03 PLC. How can I convert the addresses for e.g. I:01or O:03 to Octal / Hex.

What is a CIF file in SLC 5/ 03 PLC?

Please let me know some source / documentation where I can find this.

Thanking you in advance

Sandeep

Sandeep,

To my knowledge RSLogix does not support a direct conversion of programs from SLC 5/0? to PLC 5. What I have done in the past is to use the libray export / import features to convert the I/O image tables to integer image tables. 1) Export file to libray. 2) Import the libray file to a new file using the "Edit Index" feature. 3) Set the Inputs to index to integer words. For example index inputs from slot 3 to N21:3 and the outputs from say slot 4 to N20:4. After this is done you should have a program with the I/O image table data mapped to integer data files N20 for outputs and N21 for inputs. 4)Now you can open the RSLogix 500 and RSOgix 5 at the same time and use the cut and paste feature to copy the program from one to the other. 5)Exoprt the coppied program to library. ) Import the libray program to a new PLC project with the index feature convering the N21 & N20 data files to their octal equivelents. Note: you will have to instruct the index offset for each bit when the bit # is great then 8. (N21:3/8 becomes I:3/10).

I know this is a long process, but it is better then entering the program by hand.

As for the CIF file, someone else will need to explain it.

Good Luck

If you wish to change the viewing appearance of a data file then:
open the file and choose from the radix drop down menu.
