Shawn Tierney (Host): Hey, everybody. Welcome to Automation Tech Talk lunchtime edition. Shawn Tierney here from Insights. And today, we're gonna take a look at something different. We're gonna take a look at migrating a Micrologix program to a Micro 800 program, and we're going to do this because, I had somebody ask a question about connecting to a Micro 800 from a SCADA package.

And, you know, when I did my VSC course, I did I think every Allen Bradley PLC except for the Micro 800. So I thought, you know, this would be a good time to convert my my VUSC application that I use to simulate the data for that for that course. And, anybody in my VUSC course can download that, in Micrologic, PLC five, ControlLogics, CompactLogics, multiple versions. You know, you know, I recently converted it to Siemens because I wanted to add those advanced graphical lessons to my unified comfort panel and unified, a basic panel course. So I need to convert it to Siemens, and then somebody asked me to test their SCADA package with Codesys.

And as you know, I had a couple of vendors step up and send me Codesys PLCs. So I converted well, not all of it. There's five molding lines. I wanted to do something different than a bottling line or, you know, a a widget maker. And so, I only did one molding line into the into the code Sys because, you know, I I I we all we've talked about that before.

But in any case, needs a little love and tender love and care to the code sys, IDE does. But in any case, yes. I figured, hey. Let's use this to convert my existing program, which I which I wrote from scratch to the micro 800, and let's see how it goes. Now I did this this morning around 04:30.

I went through it once, and it seemed to work okay. So I figured, we would do this during lunchtime. And so if you guys have any questions on this or anything, let me know. Oh, a couple of housekeeping things. There will be no episode of the show tomorrow.

I'm kinda backed up trying to get through a couple of videos that I'm,
