Library Migration Tool

24. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 24Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Update LogixACD Files
Update Logix ACD files containing one version of Library AOI definitions to a
different version. For example, this tool can be used for updating AOIs from
Version 2.0 to 3.5, or Version 3.5-01 to 3.5-02, etc.
An option is provided to update Logixtag severity values when updating to
P_AlarmVersion 3.1 or newer.
Set the alarm condition strings of Library AOI tags to the default string definitions
(e.g., “High-High Alarm”, “Input Failure”, etc.) when migrating AOIs with P_Alarm
Version 2 and older to P_AlarmVersion 3.x.
When used with the graphics migration function, the tool adds any necessary
alias tags with the required naming convention for faceplate-to-faceplate
navigation.
Works with LogixACD files V18 to V28.

25. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 25Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Updates FactoryTalkView SE/ME
Graphics
Update FactoryTalk View SE/ME process graphic XML files containing
items linked to Library HMI global objects. This tool upgrades global
objects from Library versions 1.1, 1.5, or 2.0 to Version 3.5. (Migration tool
is not needed for updating V3.X to V3.Y HMI graphics –simply update the
HMI application’s image files, global object files, and faceplate display files
to the new version.)
Updates the global object parameter values to the correct Version 3.5
format and values.

Supports User-Modified Library Global
Objects
The migration tool will work with user-modified Library global objects as long as
the following conditions are satisfied:
The global object name is not changed.
The global object file name containing the global object is not changed.
The global object parameters list and parameter names are not changed.
As long as the above conditions are satisfied, the user can make any changes
within the global object. For example, the user can change the size, colors, font,
text strings, and add/remove/edit graphic items within the parent global object.

What Migration Tool does NOT Update

35. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 35Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Does Not Update Program Logic
The user has to manually update any program logic errors due to changes in the Library AOI
parameters.
35

36. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 36Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Does Not Change ACD LogixVersion
For example, if the ACD file to migrate is originally a V18 Logix controller file
containing Version 2 Library AOIs and the user wants to update the file to a V24
Logix controller containing Version 3.5 Library AOIs, then the user would need to
first use Studio 5000 Logix Designer to change the ACD controller to V24. The
user would then use the V24 ACD file in the migration tool.
The migration tool does not update the L_CPU_xxAOI to match the ACD
version. For example, if the V18 ACD file uses a L_CPU_18 AOI and the
controller is changed to V24, then the migration tool updates the L_CPU_18 AOI
definition to Version 3.5 –it does not change the L_CPU_18 to L_CPU_24.
36

37. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 37Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Does Not Update SE/ME Library
Components
The migration tool does not update the Library components (image files, global
object files, faceplate display files) in SE/ME HMI applications. When updating a
HMI application to use a new Library version, the user would need to update the
image files, global object files, and faceplate display files –follow the instructions
included with the Library. Download the latest Library HMI files from the
Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC)
website. The migration tool does not include or install the HMI library files.
Use FactoryTalkView Studio to update SE/ME HMI applications from a previous
FactoryTalkView version to a new version (e.g., moving application from
FactoryTalkView Version 6 to Version 8.1, etc.). The migration tool does not
update HMI projects.
37

38. PUBLIC Copyright © 2017 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 38Rockwell Automation TechED 2017 @ROKTechED #ROKTechED #PAuto
Does Not Update SE/ME Display GFX
Files Directly
1.Use FactoryTalkView Studio to export the displays to migrate into XML files. The displays must
be exported from an application containing the Library components to migrate FROM. For
example, if migrating displays using Version 2 library objects, then the HMI application must
contain the Version 2 library image files and library global object files; it must also contain any
user-created images and global object files used by the displays.
2.Run the Migration Tool to update the XML files with Library Version 3.5 configuration. The tool
also creates the FactoryTalkView batch import files used in the next step.
3.Use FactoryTalkView Studio to import the updated XML files into the HMI application. Use the
batch import files created by the migration tool. The displays must be imported into an
application containing the Library components to migrate TO. For example, if migrating to
Version 3.5, then the HMI application must contain the Version 3.5 library image files and library
global object files before the import.
