translate Logix 500 to 5000

[immunoman 0]

When I use the free trial version of 5000 and attempt to translate a 500 program, I get a message saying the .txt file does not exist or I to not have read permission. The file I'm translating has an .RSS extension so I'm led to believe this is where the problem lies.

You don't translate a *.RSS file directly. Instead, you export a logic file and a description file from RSLogix 500 and translate those. If you do not have RSLogix 500, I'm sure someone on the Forum would be happy to perform these exports for you. These steps are described in the Translation Tool Help File and in the User Manual for translation between PLC/SLC and ControlLogix: http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/i...rm085_-en-p.pdf
