Who Should Use this Manual

Use this manual if you are responsible for designing, installing, programming, or troubleshooting control systems that use Allen-Bradley small logic controllers.

You should have a basic understanding of SLC 500t products. If you do not, contact your local Allen-Bradley representative for the proper training before using this product.

We recommend reviewing the software.

Purpose of this Manual

This manual is a reference guide for the APS Import/Export utility procedures you use to convert APS archive files and program documentation into ASCII text files, and vice versa.

APS Import/Export Utility User Manual

Preface

APSIE Overview

The APS import/export utility, APSIE, lets you convert:

• APS archive files and program documentation into ASCII text files

• ASCII text files that contain an SLC 500 program and program documentation

into APS archive files

You install APSIE as you install APS, although it executes separately from APS. APSIE interacts with archive and documentation files generated by all versions of APS.

Another key feature of APSIE is its you specify the drives and directories that APSIE reads files from and writes files to. With this capability you can have files in any MS–DOS directory. For more information on user directories, see chapter 2, Configuring the APS Import/Export Utility.

System Requirements

You can use APSIE with an Allen-Bradley T47 or T70 terminal, 386/SX, NEC VERSAtE Series Notebook, or GATEWAY 2000t models 386DX/25, 386DX/33, 486DX/33, 486DX2/50, and 486DX2/66 personal computers. Your computer must have:

•

640 Kbytes of RAM

• 10 Mbyte fixed-disk drive (APS requires 8.5 Mbytes of free disk space.)

• DOS version 3.3 or higher

The maximum number of archive, documentation, and ASCII files allowed by APSIE is limited solely by the available space on your floppy or fixed disk.

APS Import/Export Utility User Manual

Preface

Examining the Results of the Import

The log file provides the results of the import. It lists any errors that the utility encountered during the import process. For each error, it identifies the type of error and the location where the error was encountered in the ASCII file. “Illegal Addresses” and “Illegal Comments” are two examples of errors that you may encounter.

The default location for the log file is \IPDS\TEXT\SLC500. The log filename consists of the APSIE archive path, which you defined while configuring the import utility using [F6] ASCII DIR, the destination file name which you defined in the import utility using [F4] ENTER DESTIN, and the file extension .LOG.

APSIE also allows you to verify that a new archive file was created. The default location for the archive file is \IPDS\ARCH\SLC500. The archive filename consists of the destination filename and the file extension .ACH.
