Convert Code from Advant AMPL to 800M CBM code or Function Designer
Hi all,
is there a tool to convert Advant AMPL code like database or pc-programms to any kind of code what is useable in AC800M CBM or FD?
I heared about and I'm verry interessted.

Hello Michael,
The Ampl2m conversion tool can translate automatically PC programs and DB of Advant controllers into CBM with the efficiency about 90%. The main aim of the tool is to reduce all that exhausting AC400 manual migration job and to avoid human errors. I have been developing the tool during my migration projects and commissioned the code converted by the tool several times. The commissionings were smooth with no surprises nor problems, therefore I trust the tool.
Also I am very grateful to my friends AC450 specialists who gave me valuable comments and ideas how to improve the tool. The tool cannot perform complete AC400 conversion due to significant differences in application handling between AC400 and AC800M. Practically the converted code contains some red connections which must be fixed manually. This post-conversion job requires very good experience in Advant controllers and AC800M. The amount of manual post-conversion efforts depends on how sophistically and tricky is the original code written. Typically the code containing a lot of MMCX hidden terminals, GENCON, GENBIN and GENUSD needs a lot of post-conversion efforts. On the other hand conversion of DCS logic containing standard features of MOTCON, VALVECON, PIDCON, MANSTN, SEQ produces nearly working code. Also the drive control logic of APC / AC450RMC is quite easy to translate.
Use the tool or I can deliver to you the complete converted AMPL code to CBM including all post-conversion fixes. I can also take part of commissioning if you need.
Best regards
Kamil
