If you don’t get this popup, skip ahead to Step 10.
Step 7: During step 4 of the wizard, you may receive a popup “syntax error” window as we did and is shown below. Step 6: Chose your alias options and press next. Once the program is converted, you can change it again inside of RSLogix 5000. NOTE: Don’t worry if the exact processor or version doesn’t show up in the list. Step 5: On step two of the wizard, choose the type of CompactLogix or ControlLogix you would like to convert the program too, as well as the version. Step 4: Now back in the utility use the browse button to select your newly saved. Then in RSLogix 500, open the program you wish to convert and preform a “Save As.” Save you program as a. Step 3: Click on the handy link on the right to launch RSLogix 500. Step 2: When the program opens you’ll see the window pictured below. In this example we are going to convert a SLC-500 / RSLogix 500 program, so we’ll start by choosing the radio button for the SLC-500. Step 1: Assuming you’ve used the above link to download and install the “Translate PLC-5 SLC 2.0” utility, launch it.
Now with introductions behind us, below we’ll walk you through converting a SLC-500 file to a CompactLogix step-by-step.
You can find Rockwell’s “Converting PLC-5 or SLC-500 Logic to Logix5550 Logic Reference Manual” using this link (right click on link to save pdf.) Rockwell has also written an entire manual around converting PLC-5 and SLC-500 programs to CompactLogix and ControlLogix. If fact, if you’re going to use the “Translate PLC-5 SLC 2.0” utility, I highly recommend you read this manual in full. If you have a PLC-5 or SLC-500 program you would like to import into RSLogix 5000, look no further than Rockwell’s free “Translate PLC-5 SLC 2.0 utility.” This utility can save you hundreds of hours of manually re-entering code, and is available free of charge from the public Rockwell Tech Note #69790. UPDATE – November 2021 by SMT: Rockwell no longer makers the Translation Tool or Project Migrator available as a download, so if you don’t have either in your RSLogix/Studio 5000 installation files or discs, you can try the “new” feature in RSLogix500 v12 and RSLogix5 v10 which allows you to save your program as a Logix file by using the “save as type” menu option, and choosing “Logix Designer Files (*.ACD)” For more information see the free tech note below: To get the latest version, search the below website for “ RSLogix Project Migrator (it also comes with RSLogix/Studio 5000 v19 and up)” UPDATE: Rockwell has release a new version of this tool with additional features which we cover in our new article HERE.
