Program forward compatability

[cch1955]

I have a program I wrote for F2424 on TL6

I wish to move this program onto a new machine using Fx2424 and TL7

How can this be done?

Chris,

Yes.  You can open .PC6 files with TL7.  File->Open (Local Drive).  Just change the "Files of Type:" box to "All Files".

I have ported code from the old M series PLCs as well as my modern FMD and Nano-10 programs to work with TL7. Everything has compiled and the code seems to run as expected on the new hardware.

The things that you need to look out for are the specialized I/Os and COMM port #s. You should, also, look at your DM usage and the non-volatile memory usage.  It's not a TL6 vs TL7 issue, it is simply that this stuffs moves around from PLC to PLC.

Too simple!

I'm thinking you should do a save as with the PC7 file type if you move it forward to keep from getting mixed up with the old version and TL7 compatibility issues.

Thanks Gary
