Yiven Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 My previous controller is Turbo Brick controller with the using CFG file. Now, I have to update my current control system from Turbo to Power Brick. Does the Turbo Brick using CFG file still compatible with the new Power Brick controller ? If, No. How/Which variables I have to change? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Naddaf Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 No. It is a completely different platform. Although some I variables, and buffered commands may be backwards compatible, the configuration in its entirety needs to be re-integrated. That entails system and gate settings, user definitions, PLCs and programs re-written. The first step is typically attending a Power PMAC class. For a Turbo user, the transition is relatively easy but requires a significant amount pf work for a complete system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only plcs, plccs and motion programs. The UI for the project is a vb.net interface that talks with the turbo via pcommserver. Questions: 1. Is there a list of "areas" where the code will have to be modified? 2. Any consultants that want to take on the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
