The tool attempts to convert legacy instructions to their Logix equivalents.
Rockwell installer components often trigger false positives. Temporarily turn off User Account Control and real-time antivirus scanning.
Important: The RSLogix Project Migrator is not available on the public Rockwell Automation download center without a valid TechConnect contract. However, Rockwell has periodically released it as a free utility. Below are the legitimate methods to obtain it.
If the official tool fails or is unavailable, consider:
| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | Rockwell’s Migration Toolkit (paid) | More robust, includes I/O mapping wizard and AOI generation. | | Third-party: ISaGRAF | Can convert but not PLC-specific. | | Manual conversion | Use Studio 5000’s import from RSLogix 500 library (limited). | | Sysmac Studio (Omron) | Not applicable – for different brand migration. |
| Issue | Workaround | |-------|-------------| | Block Transfers (RSLogix 5) | Must be re‑engineered as MSG instructions | | PLC‑5/SLC 500 indirect addressing | Often requires manual editing | | PID instructions | May need conversion to function blocks | | DH+/RIO networks | Not migrated – configure EtherNet/IP in target |
⚠️ Always test migration on a backup copy – never use on a live production project.
| Option | Recommendation |
|--------|----------------|
| Create tags for SLC/PLC-5 addresses | Enabled – converts N7:0 to tag N7_0. |
| Map I/O to Local/Remote racks | Manual – You will later map physical 1746/1771 I/O to 1756 modules. |
| Generate migration report | Always enable – produces an HTML file with warnings. |
| Add conversion comments | Enabled – adds ;;; Migrated from SLC N7:0 comments in logic. |
