Page 24: Program Conversion (Fc4A/5A Series -> Fc6A Plus)
The latest update file is published on our website. It is recommended to use the latest version of “Automation Organizer” for program conversion. http://us.idec.com/ProductSupport/Software.aspx Program conversion for FC6A Plus Some of the FC4A/FC5A series programs are incompatible with the FC6A Plus programs. Thus, it is impossible to perform automatic conversion of all programs completely. - Page 25 Program conversion (FC4A/5A series -> FC6A Plus) Program uploading If you do not have the ladder program file for the FC4A/5A series, connect the main body of the FC4A/5A series to a PC (RS232 interface) via a PC interface cable (FC2A-KC4C) to upload (read out) the program.
- Page 26 Program conversion (FC4A/5A series -> FC6A Plus) Conversion report Just like user program conversion, the details are output as a conversion report, which can be checked on the information window. When the mouse cursor is put on each item of the conversion report in the information window to select the item, the cursor in the ladder program field will also move to the related ladder part in conjunction.
- Page 27 Program conversion (FC4A/5A series -> FC6A Plus) Batch conversion of I/O numbers Consecutive I/O numbers can be converted at a time. Use this function when I/Os of the FC6A series CPU Module are not used or when reserved numbers should be skipped. 1.
- Page 28 Program conversion (FC4A/5A series -> FC6A Plus) 4. The cursor will move to the I/O to be converted, and the confirmation window will appear. To convert while confirming I/Os one by one, click [Yes]. To convert the remaining I/Os at a time without confirming them, click [Yes to all].
