HMI and Graphic objects(Library) migration from CHMI to 800xA?
Hi,
Is it possible to migrate/upgrade the CHMI graphics & library to 800xA? Can use afw import/export tool?
Any other specific tool is available?
Thanks

Yes . But whatever you do will be quite specific to your project.
There is an option in Control Builder to open the control project from Compact form. This imports your code
You can then import everything for the HMI using the import/export tool. Note that this way you don't magically get full integration with the AC800M controller. You still need PLC connect and you get a re-implementation of exactly how it used to work in CHMI.
If you want to do a full controller integration with AC800M, then you will need to more engineering work. Start by importing the CCB controller code and then deciding how you make object types. You may already have object types depending on the libraries you used.
