Converting a C500/C120/C**P Program to CS/CJ/CP/CVM1
Format
This section describes the following functions, their operation, and relevant precautions.

C500/C120/C**P Program Conversion

It is possible to convert C500/C120/C**P programs to CS/CJ/CV-series programs. Also, it is possible to read
programs and DM/HR area data from C500/C120/C**P PLCs to save in a file and write the saved programs and
DM/HR areas data to C500/C120/C**P PLCs.
C500/C120/C**P Program Conversion
Programs can be read from C500/C120/C**P and converted to a CXT-format project file to be saved in a file.
The source and destination devices are as follows:
The source: C500/C120/C20/C28/C40/C60P
The destination: CS1G-H/CJ1G-H/CS1H-H/CJ1H-H/CJ1H-H-R/CJ2H/CJ2M/CS1D-S/CS1D-
H/CJ1M/CP1H/CP1L/CP1E/CVM1-V2
Set the following Host Link communications settings and program conversion conditions, and then execute
program conversion.
A backup file (.c5b) is required to execute conversion. Refer to C500/C120/C**P Program Backup for
information on how to create backup files.
Host Link Communications Settings
To make the host link communications settings for communications with the C500/C120/C**P, select Tools –
C500/C120/CxxP Support – Host Link Comms Settings. The Host Link Comms Settings Dialog Box will be
displayed. Make the Host Link Unit number, COM port settings, and response timeout settings.
The following tables show the Units and Cables that can be connected to C500/C120/C**P.
