Change Model
Convert backed-up C500/C120/C**P programs or C500/C120/C**P program files (c5B extension) stored in the
computer.
Select Tools – C500/C120/CxxP Support – Change Model to display the Change Model Dialog Box.
The following items can be set in the Change Model Dialog Box.
• Backup File: Specify the program file to be converted.
• Target File: Specify a file in which to save the converted program.
• Conversion range: The program conversion range can be selected from the following.
• Converts to the END instruction: Converts the program until the first END instruction appears.
• Converts all program: Converts the program until the last instruction except for NOP appears.
•
Destination PLC/CPU: Specify the conversion destination PLC device.
Saving The Mnemonics Text File Before Conversion:
When converting models, programs prior to conversion can be saved as mnemonics text. Check the Save the
mnemonics text file before conversion checkbox and click the OK Button in the Change Model Dialog Box.
The program will be saved under the file name destination file name.txt in the same folder as the post-
conversion destination file. (If a file with the same name already exists, the mnemonic text file will be saved as a
txt file with the same name with a number added.)
Press the OK Button to start program conversion.
The converted project file will be loaded if the conversion process has been completed correctly. If there are
conversion warnings, they will be displayed in annotated comments (comments attached to instructions).

DM/HR areas of the PLC.
To restore files, select Tools – C500/C120/C**P Support – Restore to PLC to display the dialog box. Specify
