Converting Logix
Designer Projects
When you open a Studio 5000 Logix Designer® project to open a project that
was created in an earlier version of Logix Designer application, the project is
converted to the higher version. After the conversion, the Logix Designer
application can fail to use internal memory structures in the most efficient
manner.
To help optimize the internal memory structures, you can complete
the following:
• Import the version 27 or earlier project from an ASCII.L5K or an XML
.L5K file to create the version 28 or later project.
• Import rungs, routines, programs, equipment phases, UDTs, tags, and
Add-On Instructions into a version 28 or later project.
For information on how to import your project, see:
