Appendix B

Changing from a 1756
GuardLogix Controller to a
1768

Compact GuardLogix

Controller or Vice Versa

When you change from one safety controller type to another, the class of tags,
routines, and programs remains unaltered. Any I/O modules that are no longer
compatible with the target controller are deleted.

The representation of the safety partner is updated to appear appropriately for
the target controller:

The safety partner is created in slot

x (primary slot + 1) when changing to

a 1756 GuardLogix controller.

When changing to a 1768 Compact GuardLogix controller, the safety
partner is removed because it is internal to the Compact GuardLogix
controller.

Changing from a 1756-L7xS
Controller to a 1756-L6x
S or
1768-L4x
S Controller

Floating-point instructions, such as FAL, FLL, FSC, SIZE, CMP, SWPB, and
CPT are supported in 1756-L7

xS controllers, but not in 1756-L6xS and

1768-L4

xS controllers. If your safety program contains these instructions,

verification errors will occur when changing from a 1756-L7

xS controller to a

1756-L6

xS or 1768-L4xS controller.
