[kerry85 (Mohd khairi Muhammad)]

Hi. I have task to transfer the program from PP65 to C70 PLC. Need guide because i’m new in B&R.

You need project and Automation Studio. Without this you can NOT do that.

The procedure will then looks like that

Disclaimer: I think you need little bit knowledge about B&R and good knowledge about project itself. It all depends on complexity of your project, so from my perspective you should ask B&R for service help.

Migration Guide: PP65 → Power Panel C70

Step 1 — Install Hardware Support for C70

In Automation Studio: Tools → Upgrade → Download and install hardware support

• Find and install the hardware support package for Power Panel C70 (6PPT70.xxxx)

Step 2 — Replace CPU in the Project

In the Physical View (System Designer):

1. Right-click the PP65 module → Replace

2. Select the C70 model from the Hardware Catalog

3. AS will try to keep all existing software mappings

Replace hardware module – AS6 Help

Step 3 — Update Automation Runtime Version

Go to Project → Change Runtime version and select an AR version that supports the C70.

Step 4 — Rebuild the Project

Project → Rebuild configuration — fix any errors that appear (e.g., incompatible modules, I/O that may differ between the two panels).

Step 5 — Connect to the C70

The C70 ships with Boot AR (minimal OS). Connect via Ethernet:

1. Online → Settings → Browse to find the C70 at 0.0.0.0

2. Right-click the found device → Set IP parameters (assign a temporary IP matching your project config)

Step 6 — Transfer Automation Runtime

Project → Project installation → Transfer Automation Runtime

• This installs the full OS on the C70 (~3 automatic restarts)

Step 7 — Transfer the Full Project

Project → Project installation → Transfer to target

• This installs all programs, configurations, and the application

Key Things to Check

• I/O modules: If the PP65 had built-in I/O that the C70 doesn’t have, you’ll need to adapt the hardware config

• HMI: If PP65 was running a local HMI (Visual Components/mappView), verify the C70 display resolution and update accordingly

• Retain/Persistent variables: A full initial installation will erase all retained variable values

small note: Name of interfaces are different, in the past I lost hours to debug some libraries for the communication and at the end
I forgot to change the name.

Another example with motion (ACP10), update the powerlink Interface name in your Acp10cfg.ncc file
