Export derived FB from Control Expert software - Import derived FB to Machine Expert software

[ltorraka]

Hello community,

In my years of experience in PLC programming I have been designing different function blocks in the control expert software, I am currently working in a project with the machine expert software. I would like to know if there is any method or tool that allows me to migrate the function blocks created in control expert to machine expert.

Thank you in advance for the help.

I have worked with Control Expert, Machine Expert, and Machine Expert HVAC.

I am unaware of any migration tools.

What language are you using?

Assuming you have access to the FBs.

If you are using ST, then it is possible to copy the ST logic from Control Expert and paste into Machine Expert. You will need to manually create the Variables and Parameters. 

There ARE differences between the two so you will manually need to go through these differences and do lots of testing.

If you are using one of the other languages, you will most likely need to recreate the logic.
