This utility converts (migrates, translates) AutomationDirect programs that were created with the DirectSoft programming software to Studio 5000, in other words AutomationDirect to ControlLogix (CLx)
The Variable table is created as an INT array named V. The addresses are in decimal. For example V1000 will become V[512]. Addresses that are used in the program with a different data type such as BOOL (C), DINT, COUNTER (CT), TIMER (T), and REAL are created with arrays of that data type.
The ladder logic is converted using Smart Translation Technology.
Most instructions will convert without any issues. Some instructions convert but have additional logic added by the conversion utility to emulate the original instruction. A few instructions cannot be converted. They will be noted in the conversion log.
Nicknames are converted to aliases. Some characters cannot be used in tag names. These aliases will be renamed.
Wiring Info does not convert.
Descriptions convert to Descriptions. Invalid characters will be removed.
Titles do not convert.
