Re-Assign Elements
« on: October 15, 2009, 08:42:10 AM »
I have a program written with approximately 70 inputs (X) and 70 outputs (Y).  I want to use it on a new machine, but because of wiring number (and location) changes I would like to re-assign the program nicknames to new elements.  In other words if my nickname "Ram left limit sw" was X12, I would like to re-assign it to X5, but keep the same logic.  Is there any way to do this easily?

Search - Replace

To make sure the documentation, including nicknames, moves also make sure that 'move' is selected uner 'Documentation'

The 'Find What' is the current assignment
The 'Replace/Swap with' is the destination

Sometimes I have to move individual items temporairly to non-used areas if doing a major remapping.
An output is a PLC's way of getting its inputs to change.
