How to migrate pg2000 program

Hi,

I’m having a problem with the IF260 CPU and the IF613 communication module, and I haven’t been able to find them. Is this CPU and module available from B&R?, or do I want to replace the IF260 CPU with an X20? How can I convert the project?

Thank you for your collaboration and help.

Best regards.

Hi.

I’m talking about PG2000 because I have a program for PG2000 and I couldn’t find the CPU, so I asked how I should migrate the program from PG2000 to CPU X20.

Hi,

IF260 and PG2000 are obsolete for almost 25 years.
The CPU is no longer included in AS 4.12.

If I remember correctly, you could export the tasks in PG2000 in *.xpe format and then import them into AS2.x.
AS2.7 can be still downloaded from B&R homepage

Automation Studio V2.7 | B&R Industrial Automation

The next task would be to convert the AS2.x project by help of AS3.090

Automation Studio V3.0.90 | B&R Industrial Automation

Unfortunately IF260 (Motorola/SG3) and current X20 CPUs (x86 or Arm/SG4) are different architectures so some library- functions have been changed.
This could be challenging and the question is whether it’s all worth the effort.

Differences between SG4 and SG3 / SGC

Maybe it is sufficient to just convert some old tasks and set up the whole project by new …

Hi;
Thank you Mr. Christoph for your help.

Best regards.

Hi @sofiane.haddaoui, please mark @christoph.hilchenbach as a solution if the discussion is finished.

Hello Haddaoui Sofiane,

if you still need IF260 and IF613:

I have actually two 3IF260.60-1 and one 3IF613.9 on stock - both in NEW (NOS) and in it’s original packaging!

Furthermore I can give you support with everything regarding to the PG2000 software and all around the 2003 and 2005 systems…

Yes, I still need the IF260 and IF613 modules.
