4.1.6 PLC Model Convert
Use this dialog to convert to a new PLC model. Select [Settings] to convert the addresses, i.e.
to map the bit and word devices.
Before you start the conversion, create a backup of the file with the command File
Save As.
If the original PLC type's device numbers exceed the range allowed for the new PLC
type, they will be converted to the maximum device number allowed by the new PLC.
Before you convert to the new PLC model, we recommend adjusting the device
numbers for the original PLC type so that they fall within the range supported by the
new PLC type after conversion.
4.1.7 GT Model Convert
You can convert screen data from one GT model to another. The following restrictions apply:
It is only possible to convert screen data to a new GT model whose screen size is
equal to or larger than the original GT model. Only compatible GT models are
available in the drop-down list under File GT Model Convert.
As the limitations on usable functions vary depending on the GT model, some parts
and functions may be deleted, or some settings may be changed after the GT model
conversion.
The number of parts that can be converted is limited to less than 256 parts.
GT703/GT704/GT707 cannot be converted to other GT models.
Before you start the conversion, create a backup of the file with the command File
Save As.
Once the conversion has been performed, it cannot be undone.
