Before you begin

About This Hands-On Lab

IAB includes a wizard that enables you to help a customer migrate an existing SLC configuration to a

CompactLogix / ControlLogix controller-based configuration. You specify the SLC configuration

graphically by placing SLC modules in SLC chassis. IAB automatically selects equivalent CompactLogix /

ControlLogix controllers and I/O modules to duplicate the original configuration. You will have options for

chassis size and whether to retain or replace the SLC I/O modules with CompactLogix / ControlLogix.

This lab shows how to use the IAB SLC Migration functionality.

9. The SLC Migration Conflict Resolution Dialog appears. A conflict resolution dialog appears when you

must make a decision about the migration. The information in the dialog is specific to the action you

are performing.

In this case, you must select the CompactLogix processor that you wish to use in this migration.

Scroll in the processor window to see the options. Notice that for SLC 500 migration, IAB

recommends CompactLogix L3 processors. Select the 1769-L33ER CompactLogix 5370 processor

and click OK.

AB adds processors to both the SLC chassis, the replacement CompactLogix chassis, and it adds a

1747-AENTR EtherNet/IP adapter to the migrated SLC chassis.


12 of 37

10. Next, drag three 1746-IA8 Digital I/O modules to the SLC chassis. Because we are retaining the

SLC I/O, IAB duplicates these modules in the migrated chassis.


13 of 37

11. Finish by adding the two 1746-IB16 modules to the Bank 2 chassis. There are no empty slots in the

first bank, so the modules are placed in the second bank. Again IAB duplicates the modules in the

migrated chassis. Use the scroll bars to view all the banks in the SLC chassis.

Click OK to finish configuring this chassis. IAB closes the Module Selection window and returns to

Chassis Selection window.

Notice the ControlLogix Chassis in the migration area.

14. From the module list, drag a 1747-L543 processor module to slot 1 of the SLC chassis.


16 of 37

15. The SLC Migration Conflict Resolution Dialog appears. A conflict resolution dialog appears when you

must make a decision about the migration. The information in the dialog is specific to the action you

are performing.

In this case, you must select the ControlLogix processor that you wish to use in this migration and a

ControlLogix Ethernet adapter for communicating the migration chassis. Scroll in the Ethernet

adapter window to see the options. Notice that IAB recommends ControlLogix L7 processors as the

nearest equivalents to SLC 500 processors. Select the 1756-L74 processor and the1756-EN2T

adapter and click OK.

IAB adds processors to both the SLC chassis and the replacement ControlLogix chassis, and adds a

EtherNet/IP adapter 1747-AENTR to the migrated SLC and 1756-EN2T to the replacement

ControlLogix chassis.


17 of 37

16. Next, drag two 1746-OV32, three 1746-OB32 and one 1746-OBP16 I/O modules to the SLC

chassis. Because we are retaining the SLC I/O, IAB duplicates these modules in the migrated

chassis.


the Chassis Selection window.

migration wizard and create the wizard-defined CompactLogix and ControlLogix configuration in IAB.

Click on the Hardware tab and click on the SLC_with_CompactLogix chassis to see the hardware.

You can move your cursor over each module in the chassis to display the catalog number in the tool

tip that appears.

Note that this chassis contains all the SLC I/O from the local rack that we replaced. A 1747-AENTR

module has been added to connect this I/O remotely over EtherNet/IP to the CompactLogix

controller that is replacing the SLC processor.


22 of 37

22. In the hardware tree, click the SLC_Migration.1_ SLC_with_CompactLogix.CMX chassis. This

CompactLogix chassis contains the CompactLogix 5370 L33ER processor that is the replacement

for the SLC processor.

23. In the hardware tree, click the SLC_Migration.1_SLC_Remote chassis. This is the SLC remote I/O

chassis. Notice that the1747-ACN15 ControlNet module in the original configuration has been

replaced with a 1747-AENTR EtherNet/IP module.

In the same way, you can click the other migrated chassis with ControlLogix to see how it has been

created.

2.1 Replace SLC 500 Remote I/O with CompactLogix

Chassis 3:

32. Select SLC_Remote and click Edit Chassis.

33. Select Replace with CompactLogix in the SLC I/O dropdown.

IAB displays a message informing you that there is no exact replacement in 1769 Compact I/O for

the 1747-ACN15 module, and advising you to contact a Rockwell Automation representative for

assistance. Click OK.


31 of 37

A similar message appears for the 1746-OB32E module. Click OK.;

IAB creates a CompactLogix chassis with replacement modules, except for the two modules for

which there was no exact replacement. Click OK to accept this migration.

If there is no exact replacement for an SLC I/O module, IAB displays a message to inform

you of the fact, but otherwise takes no action. You will have to proceed on your own to

migrate those modules for which an exact replacement is not available.


32 of 37

34. Click the Generate Hardware button. IAB asks you to confirm that you want to regenerate the

hardware. Click Yes.

36. One way you might deal with the modules in the second chassis is to move them into the controller

chassis. You can add empty slots to the controller chassis and move the modules from the second

chassis into the empty slots.

In the controller chassis view, right click on the power supply and select Configure 1769 Chassis.

In the second bank add two slots to the left side of the power supply and one slot to the right side.

Click OK to make the changes.


35 of 37

37. In the Hardware tree, expand both chassis. Drag each module from the third chassis into an empty

slot in the second bank of first chassis.


36 of 37

When finished, you will have a single CompactLogix chassis with all the migrated I/O modules.

You can now delete the third chassis, which is now empty.

38. The SLC Migration Wizard does not automatically connect migrated chassis to any network. To

establish network connections, you will have to go to each migrated chassis and make the

connection through the right-click menu.

Right click on the processor in the CompactLogix chassis and select Connect to EtherNet/IP

network > Connect ‘Port 1’ to a new EtherNet/IP network > Standalone Device Level Ring.

Click OK four times to accept the network name, select copper media, accept the IP address, and

acknowledge the default processor for the network.


37 of 37

IAB makes the network connection. Go to the Networks tab and see that the processor has been

connected to the new network.

39. Save the IAB project.

This concludes the SLC 500 to CompactLogix Migration Wizard lab exercise.
