PL7 SMC application converter software
The application converter software for SMC PLCs is a PL7 Junior and PL7 Pro
software option. It enables parts of, or in certain cases, the entire existing SMC PLC
application to be reused with Micro/Premium PLCs. The converter generates
instructions in PL7 language which are functionally identical to the original
instructions.
If the application has been archived using VPSOFT programming software (version
3.02 minimum) for SMC PLCs, it is possible to translate the program and comments
and retrieve the entire database (variable symbols and comments). If this is not the
case, the program only can still be converted once it has been transferred with
VPSOFT software. Program conversion is possible for SMC 200/500, SMC 23/35
and SMC 50/600 PLC applications.
The SMC converter provides the following functions:
b Selection of the application in the directory where SMC applications are stored.
b Selection of the program to be converted: sequences to be converted.
b Code and data analysis: associations are suggested for SMC variables with PL7
correspondence (bits, words, double words or reals).
b Code and variable conversion in order to generate a PL7 equivalent.
b Report which shows the user the conversion success rate, associations and
causes of non-conversion when applicable.
b Target configuration for displaying or entering a configuration required for
arranging variables in PL7.
It is possible to convert only the SMC database.
Once installed, the SMC converter is activated from PL7 (File/Convert command).
Translated program modules are converted into an importable source format in a
new PL7 application or in the current application.
A consistency check is performed with the current application configuration. It is also
possible to modify the destination application while the converter is being used.
