CCW MicroLogix to Micro800 Conversion Tool 5.5

The CCW MicroLogix to Micro800 Conversion Tool is a software tool provided by Rockwell Automation, Inc. It is used to convert CCW (Connected Components Workbench) programs written for MicroLogix controllers to be compatible with Micro800 controllers.

There are various reasons why one might need to convert CCW programs from MicroLogix to Micro800 controllers. Some of the common reasons include migrating from legacy MicroLogix controllers to newer Micro800 controllers, taking advantage of advanced features available in the Micro800 platform, or standardizing the control platform across different projects or sites.

Yes, it is possible to manually rewrite the CCW programs for Micro800, but this can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. The conversion tool automates most of the conversion process, greatly reducing the manual effort required and minimizing the chances of errors.

The specific supported versions may vary based on the tool version, but in general, the conversion tool supports a range of CCW versions as well as different models of Micro800 controllers. It is recommended to refer to the documentation accompanying the conversion tool for detailed information on supported versions.

The conversion tool is designed to minimize the risk of data loss or corruption during the conversion process. Nevertheless, it is always good practice to have backups of your original CCW programs to ensure data integrity. It is also recommended to thoroughly test the converted program on a target Micro800 controller before deploying it in production.

The conversion tool can convert a wide range of CCW program elements, including ladder logic, function block diagrams, structured text code, data types, tag configurations, and more. The specific supported elements can depend on the tool version and supported Micro800 controller models.

The conversion tool aims to migrate the main features and functionalities of a CCW program to the Micro800 platform as seamlessly as possible. However, due to differences between the two platforms, some manual adjustment or modifications may be required after the initial conversion. It is advisable to carefully review and validate the converted program before deploying it in production.

Yes, the CCW MicroLogix to Micro800 Conversion Tool is available for free from Rockwell Automation's website. You can download it from their support portal or obtain it through their authorized distributors.

While the conversion tool is designed to provide reliable and accurate conversions, there might be certain limitations or known issues in specific scenarios or with certain program configurations. It is recommended to consult the documentation and release notes accompanying the conversion tool for information on any known limitations or issues specific to the version you are using.

Rockwell Automation provides documentation, user guides, tutorials, and technical support to assist users in utilizing the conversion tool effectively. These resources can be found on their website or obtained through their support channels.
