If you have a setup that is too old for the software in the TC, you can Convert it to a later version (see
section Backwards compatibility).
If you want to copy separate tables from one setup to another you can use the Export and Import
choices. This is described in chapter: Table Export and Import.
4.2.1 Backwards compatibility
Unless the setup version is identical to the version of the TC software, ToolsTalk will not connect to the
TC.
An old setup can be converted to a later version by clicking Convert in the File menu. Both the setup and
the PLC program can be converted to a later version. It is only possible to convert the PLC program if the
newer PLC environment is installed on the PC. Once a setup or PLC program have been converted it is
no longer possible to open it.
When running an old setup, ToolsTalk will emulate a ToolsTalk with the same version as the setup.
Functionality added after that version will be hidden and functionality removed after that version will be
shown. The versions of ToolsTalk and the setup are visible on the ToolsTalk title bar and in the
About
form. It looks like the following images when a setup version 7.1.0 is opened with ToolsTalk 7.3.0.
