Old Siemens S5 to new CTi CPU's upgrade with APT

[waynes]

Hi All, I am currently busy with a project where we have to convert and old Siemens S5 program to a new CTi PLC. The CTi will be programmed using APT, which in itself is the problem. Does anyone have any links/ help for me with this software? I am currently using ver 1.9? which only runs on Windows 98 backwards... So, I am using Virtual PC 2007 for now. Anyone who can assist with this or even training would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I have been playing around a bit more with the APT software. Does anyone know of another utility to program this PLC with CFC's / SFC's? ANY help appreciated!!!

I have no idea what your asking for? Do you want help with the S5 program? if so what PLC is it and what software do you have. I have no idea what a CTi is?

Found this on another forum, so people there maybe able to help you. Other Forum and from this link CTi webpage I see its a replacement for a Texas 505 PLC. So unsure why your replacing a S5 PLC with it. They also have a CTi forum, which may help you too. CTi Forum Edited October 12, 2007 by Groo

CTI is making a clone or what apperars to be a clone of the 505 series which used to be Texas Instrument then became a Siemens. Here is some info from Siemens on the 505 http://www2.sea.siemens.com/Products/Autom...TIC-505-Manuals I use TIsoft to access the 505s we have. Some are texas Instrument and some are Siemens. I know there are windows based versions of 505 software. I have never used any but have seen it. You might try a Google search on 505+Siemens+Software Let me know how it works out for you. I have bought power supplies from CTI for my 505's have not bought a CPU yet. I am curious how hard it is to convert over.
