RSLogix 5 to 5000

[aventine 0]

To the experts, I just translated a PLC program to a 5000 program. Now in my old program in the PLC 5 I had an instruction set that activated a FFL whenever the clock hit 3:55 PM as such: Now when I transfered it to a 5000 program I get the following conversion errors: Where can I find the status bits like the RSLogix 5000 in order to make it work? Does it use status bits? Thanks.

The clock in controllogix is not directly addressible as it was in the PLC5. You will need to use a GSV to get the real time clock values into useful tags, and then you can compare using those new tag. Paul

Go to the AB knowledgebase at rockwellautomation.com/knowledgebase and search for wallclocktime. There are some sample program of how to get the current time there.
