Replacing pp2100 to C80 controller

We want to know what procedure is for

replacing ppc2100 to c80 controller

Currently AS V 4.12.3.127 sp project is ready with

PP2100 & with Mapp view need to convert to c80.

Please help

Is PPC2100 configured as a hypervisor system? If so, then just replace ‘hw’ in Automation Studio. Very likely, there will be a need to adjust some configuration, but AS will tell you what needs to be adjusted.

Visualization:
If the C80 display has the same size as PPC2100, then it should be quite easy. If not, you have to adjust your visualization (or use zooming).

Replaced PPc2100(With Hypervisor, Mapp view) to 4PPC80.156B-10A

but Unconnected Hardware module it shows. How to reconnect all module to 4PPC80.156B-10A or any power link need to add?

Please help me.

Just drag and drop hw to proper interface. So ACOPOS to PLK interface and all DI to X2X. Please make sure that PLK and X2X configuration from IF card is also apply to respective interface of C80

Like this i connected

Need to delete below unconnected hardware module right?

Correct for X2X link..on powerlink you still have hw. So this has to be also moved. Before you delete IF card, please check configuration of X2XLink and EP on the IF card and copy to C80 as well.

Check configuration of X2x link and same copied to c80 and then deleted the unconnected Hardware module.

But now,

  1. Storage area of permanent variable ‘strLifetime’ exceeds size of storage area for permanent variables
  2. Storage area of the CPU for permanent variables is too small for all permanent variables

errors are coming after rebuild, fyr

Permanent variables are not supported on C80, so you have to change it and make the variable remanent or store it in the data module. In my application, I have done so far, I have never relied on remanent variables for many reasons. But this is about application design.

The length of UserRAM + RemMEM exceeds the maximum of 64000 bytes

As I know I couldn’t be able to change or edit Used memory size.

Then how should i resolve this memory exceed issue,

any program needs to change, or any option is there?

Please share any reference or help me to solve this issue.

To resolve the issue where the combined size of UserRAM and RemMem exceeds the maximum allowed limit of 64,000 bytes, you can consider the following steps:

  1. Review Memory Allocation:

    • Open the CPU configuration in Automation Studio and navigate to the memory settings.
    • Check the current allocation for UserRAM and RemMem. Ensure that their combined size does not exceed the physical memory available on the configured medium.
  2. Adjust Memory Configuration:

    • If possible, reduce the size of either UserRAM or RemMem to ensure their total does not exceed the 64,000-byte limit.
    • Consider optimizing the use of memory by reviewing the variables stored in these areas and removing any that are not necessary.
  3. Optimize Variable Usage:

    • Review the project to identify any variables that can be reallocated or optimized to reduce memory usage.
    • Consider using more efficient data types or structures to minimize memory consumption.
  4. Configuration Changes:

    • After making changes to the memory configuration, perform a warm restart of the system to apply the new settings.
  5. Consult Documentation:

    • Refer to the Automation Studio Help documentation for detailed guidance on configuring memory settings and understanding the dependencies between UserRAM and RemMem.

By following these steps, you should be able to adjust the memory configuration to resolve the issue of exceeding the maximum allowed size for UserRAM and RemMem. If further assistance is needed, consider reaching out to B&R support for more specific guidance.


To help you with this we would need a project, so help from Community point of view is limited.
