You cannot select Hybrid Xpanel. To use a project with Hybrid Xpanel, you must create a new project and select the “Hybrid” option. Alternatively, you can configure the I/O Device options to match those of a Hybrid Xpanel project.

Back Up

Selecting this option backs up the current project before conversion. When this option is selected, the ‘Back Up Prj. Name’ and ‘Back Up Prj. Path’ fields are enabled.

LX Series

This box allows the project to work with the new LX Series of Xpanel devices. Because the series is still in testing, functionality is currently limited. Be sure to back up your project before conversion.

The LX series contains…

  • New programs

  • New design

  • A new scripting language (based on ECMAScript6)

※ All scripts used in the project must be translated manually when converting to the ‘LX series’ option.

※ Features not yet supported in the LX series:

  • Security (Including condition settings for security level)

  • Recipe

  • Data server

  • Schedule

  • Simulator

  • PC runtime

  • SPC, ST, Scope, Log, XY trend

  • Keypad page

※ Communication drivers currently supported in the LX series:

  • Serial: CIMON POWERTRAN PLC XP/CP series, OMRON Hostlink

  • CIMON POWERTRAN PLC XP/CP series, CIMON POWERTRAN PLC PLC-S, Modbus TCP

Back Up Prj. Name

Enter the name of the backup project. You must enter the path to the project’s parent directory before specifying the project name. The complete project directory will be generated automatically while editing the project name. You may not use the special characters shown in the following message. Underscores (“_”) and dashes (“-”) are allowed.

Back Up Prj. Path

Select the parent directory path where the backup project will be saved. Once a project name is entered, the full path will be placed here automatically.

Convert

The project will be backed up and converted. Do not edit the project or perform other actions on the PC until conversion is complete, as this may cause the system to overload. If you did not select the ‘Back Up’ option, an additional prompt will ask you to confirm your choice.
