Legacy Upgrade Agenda

Unity: LL984 Application Import, LL984 Editor and Unity Overview

At the completion of these exercises you will be able to:

● Import legacy ProWORX32 program into Unity Pro

● Add new Quantum Ethernet DIO drops while continuing to use S908 RIO

● Add new X80 Ethernet DIO drops while continuing to use S908 RIO

●Use the LL984 editor within Unity Pro on your own

Module Objectives .

... re-use their application on the Unity platforms●Import the 984 applications seamlessly into Unity●Support the 984 instruction set●Support the 984 execution behavior

… program in Unity Pro with their known LL984 style ●Create a 6th Editor in Unity, bringing the key features of 984 programming

into Unity Pro

… take full benefit of Unity Pro ●Allow hybrid applications (applications can be written with all 6 editors)●Use Unity features while programming in LL984●Run and debug the LL984 application in Simulation mode●Single database for full data transparency

To enable installed base of LL984 users to…

Legacy Application - Import Tool

What are the topics:

● File Types● LL984 Options Window● Import Log File● LL984_OS_Wrapper Section● CPU Configuration Information

● Unity Look● Analyze and Rebuild All

Import & Analyze

What will we discuss:

File Types

There are 4 types of Legacy application file that can be Imported:• .asc: Concept • .cfg: Modsoft • .dcf: ProWORX Nxt• .pwx: ProWORX32

There are two methods to start an Import:● Open File

● Drag and Drop

Symbols OriginalSelect this option to use the original variable tag names of the legacy application in your new Unity application

Target PLC Family: Quantum and M340

Symbols _xYYYYY Select this option to automatically allocate a standardized tagname to the variables : _ = leading sign of the variable tagnameX= original reference 0,1,3 & 4x indicatorYYYYY= address index

Long Comments 1:1 in Project Select this option to convert long comments into text that will be displayed in the Custom column of the Data Editor

Long Comments 1:n in Hyperlink FilesSelect this option to convert long comments as hyperlinks in the variable Comments column of the Data Editor

Hyper link path - can be defined here

- will change default path, specified in project settings

Standard logic segments with LAB instruction(s) :- Selected: LL984 SR section is created for LAB section- De-Selected: LAB Section in MAST

LL984 Import Options Window

Full Topological or State RAM- When unchecked (Default), STATE RAM option (%I,

%IW,%M%MW) This provides the customer with references and I/O mapping that they are use to.

- When checked, topological addresses is used. All I/O module references are now topological AND there is no 1x and 3x referencing capability.

Target PLC Family: Quantum and M340:Default target chosen based on the source application, it is selectable.

Import Log File

This import has two node types, with 1 instance each, that are not available in Unity

●The import log is a .txt file that contains the project information found during the creation of the .xef file

●It contains information like IO module type, nodes used and number of instances…

The Import log .txt file provides application information

When the Import is complete this is the first view of the Unity project

DefaultCommunication

Parameter : Simulator

Application is

NOT built

Minimized Project Browser for the application (Structural view)

Expanded view of the Project Browser. Opened is the LL984_OS_Wrapper section.

Battery coil import creation and assignment

Free running timer import creation and assignment

The Import may create an ST Section to emulate some features of the Legacy application

LL984_OS_Wrapper Section

CPU Configuration Information Here are the 0,1,3 & 4x configuration sizes. They may be slightly larger than the original file.

These two parameters should be selected if you want the Unity application to operate similar to the original system. PLC powers up in the Run state and State Ram is loaded after “Cold Start”.

The PLC configuration information can displayed by a double left click on the PLC in the Project Browser or double left click on the PLC graphical image in the rack.

Here is the original project in ProWORX32

Unity Look

Here is the project look in Unity

Always Analyze the project and eliminate all errors before performing a Rebuild All. Once Built, save the program.

Analyze and Rebuild All

Lab Exercise – Import Tool At the completion of this module the participant should be able to:

● Import a Legacy LL984 application into Unity Pro.

● Analyze program and eliminate errors.

● Successfully “Build” the Unity project.

Lab Exercise – Connect, Download, Run At the completion of this module the participant should be able to:

● Connect successfully and download the newly imported application.

● Verify PLC system able to operate in the RUN mode.

● Verify all drops and I/O modules are functionally Ready

and have Active indicators.
