i have an old robotic application that we are recreating with a new IRC5 Controller, When I try and upload the old .cfg file it tells me there are errors in it.

When i view it there seems to be changes/differences for example,

New Place where IP address is kept

EIO:CFG\_1.0:6:1:: taking this from robot ware 6

INDUSTRIAL\_NETWORK:

-Name “DeviceNet” -Label “DeviceNet Master/Slave Network” -Address “2”

-Name “EtherNetIP\_Anybus” -Label “EtherNet/IP Anybus Network”  
-Address “192.168.250.20” -SubnetMask “255.255.255.0” -Gateway “0.0.0.0”

* * *

Old area

EIO:CFG\_1.0:5:0:: — Taking it that this from robotware 5

EIO\_BUS:

-Name “Virtual1” -ConnectorID “SIM1”

-Name “DeviceNet1” -BusType “DNET” -ConnectorID “PCI1”  
-ConnectorLabel “First DeviceNet” -DN\_BaudRate 250

-Name “EtherNetIP\_FA1” -BusType “ENIP” -ConnectorID “FA1”  
-ConnectorLabel “EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Adapter” -EN\_Address “10.100.41.223”  
-EN\_SubnetMask “255.255.255.0” -EN\_Gateway “0.0.0.0”

Is there anyways I can find out what has changed over the revisions to make it work quickly ?

Or would I be better off just starting from scratch and setting it all up again ?

There is quite a complex set up as the robot controller controls a servo driver as the master over device net.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can go to robotstudio-controller-installation manager-Migrate robotware and read migration checklist.  
Hope this solve your problem/question.
