The Editor creates a log file if any conversion error or warning messages are

generated. See Correcting Ladder Program Conversion Warnings and Errors"

in this Appendix.
Once the Editor converts the program, it renames the original program file to

file.@PC and renames the original remark file.REM to file.@RE. You can delete

these files later if you wish.

About How Shift Instructions Are

Converted into the Ladder Editor

Any shift register instructions present in the old ladder program are converted to

a Shift Right (SR) instruction. The logic that drives the SHIFT and DATA

parameters is converted to correspond with the SR instruction's EN and BIT

parameters, respectively. The following table describes how other conditions are

handled.

If the:

Then:

old instruction had a shift register

length that is less than 16

The shift register length for the

corresponding SR instruction is 16 (an

integer). Note that all the bits within the

integer are shifted. A message is posted

in the file UPDATE.LOG or

program_name.LOG.

RESET input parameter was

programmed in the old instruction

A MOVE block is added to the rung. This

block is driven by the logic that was

connected to the RESET parameter.
The MOVE instruction resets the shift

register integer when the reset coil is true.

DATA and SHIFT parameters

were not programmed in the old

instruction

The rung is converted into a MOVE

instruction and a warning is posted in the

file UPDATE.LOG or program_name.LOG.
