3.1.6.2 Configuration file converter

The configuration file converter tool provides automatic conversion of configuration files from and older firmware version
to a newer version. In order to convert a configuration file, follow these steps:
1. Working in offline mode, go to File > Config File (*.650) Converter
2. Select the file to be converted.
3. After source file selection is complete, select conversion settings. Make the following selections:
Source Model:
Destination model:
Source file path
Source Model
Destination Model
Source file path
It is possible to change the model type (FXGX) using the conversion tool. It must be taken into account that part of the logic
can be readjusted to fit the new input and output board selection. Notice also that the external wiring of inputs and
outputs boards is different for type 1, 2, 4 and 5.
File conversion to version 7.50 or above
The file conversion tool has been modified to include the increased number of setting groups available in firmware version
7.50 and above. In firmware version 7.50, the maximum number of setting groups (SG) available increased from 3 to 6.
Some considerations must be taken into account previous to convert (*.650) files from firmware version below 7.50 to
firmware version 7.50 or above. In these cases, the tool internally checks if setting groups functionality is enabled or
disable at Setpoint > Control Elements > Setting group in the source file and depend on its value, different conversions
are performed in elements affected by setting groups.
