1.4.4 ASD and the Programming Executive
Systems created with the AutoMax Software Designer (ASD) V8 and
later can be converted into AutoMax Executive V4.x systems. Refer to
section 5.1.8 for instructions. See instruction manual JĆ3615 for more
information about ASD.
1.4.5 Converting from AutoMax Version 2 and Version 3
In AutoMax, you can convert older tasks to Version 4.x at the rack or
system level, depending on the version of the Executive from which
you are converting. Only ladder programs can be converted at the
task (program) level. See the AutoMax Ladder Editor online help file
for more information.
Systems created with Version 2 of the AutoMax Programming
Executive software can be converted into AutoMax Executive V4.x
systems. Refer to section 5.3.12 for instructions. See instruction
manual JĆ3684 for information about Version 2 Executive software.
Systems created with Version 3 of the AutoMax Programming
Executive software can be converted into AutoMax Executive V4.x
systems. Use AutoMax Setup (see 5.5.2) to set the AutoMax Library
directory to the library that contains the Version 3 systems. Then
select the Version 3 system from the System Configurator screen.
The Version 3 AutoMax system will be converted automatically to
Version 4.x, and a .LOG file will be created for each rack in the
system. View the .LOG files to verify that no errors occurred during
the conversion process.
1.4.6 Network Communication
Note that to fully use the network communication capability of the
AutoMax Programming Executive software V4.x, all Network
Communication modules on a given network must be M/N 57C404
(or later). An earlier version of the module (M/N 57404) can be used
in the system, but the user will need to connect directly to the rack
containing the Network module in order to communicate with that
rack with a personal computer. M/N 57404 cannot be mixed with any
other version on the same network. If Network module versions on a
particular network are mixed, the communication capability of the
network will be that of the earliest version of the Network module.
