Conversion to Control Expert

At a Glance

The conversion of a PL7 application to a Unity Pro project may be achieved from version ≥4.3 of PL7.

Fipio Applications

The PL7 applications containing the functionalities that implement a Fipio bus are converted form V4.3 or V4.4 or V4.5 PL7 to V2.0 Unity Pro.

The Fipio I/O objects are converted in line with the new topological addressing rule.

Lexium EF

PL7 applications containing Lexium EFs LXM_SAVE and LXM_RESTORE are converted from V4.3 or V4.4 or V4.5 PL7 to Control Expert.

NOTE: These EFs are used as part of applications that implement Lexium controllers on a Fipio bus.

TSX WMY 100 Module

PL7 V4.3 service pack 1 is used in the TSX WMY 100 module. Applications containing this module are converted from PL7 ≥V4.3 service pack 1 to Control Expert.

CANopen Applications

PL7 applications containing CANopen functionalities are converted to Control Expert, according to the following rules:

Only the TSX CPP 110 card is available using Control Expert,
A PL7 application containing a TSX CPP 110 card is entirely converted in Control Expert,
For PL7 applications containing a TSX CPP 100 card, the TSX CPP 100 card is replaced using Control Expert with a TSX CPP 110 card, and you must check or modify the .CO configuration file of the CANopen bus for this to be implemented with a TSX CPP 110 card.
