There are the following two types of conversion.
For details, see "8.12.2 Line number conversion (from MELFA-BASIC IV to MELFA-BASIC V",
"8.12.3 Position data conversion (from E/EN/M1/M2 series to CR750/700/500 series".
(1) Conversion of the lines No.
Convert the line No. and relevant command line, because the deal of line No. in MELFA-BASIC IV is
different from MELFA-BASIC V.
(2) Conversion of the position data
Convert the format of position data and relevant command, because the configuration of the
E/EN/M1/M2 E/EN/M1/M2 series controller's position data is different from the CR750/700/500 series
controller's.
Caution
Only programs on the computer can be converted.
Program conversion is only possible for programs on the computer. It is not possible to directly
convert a program on a controller or on a virtual controller with a simulation running. To convert a
program on a controller or on a virtual controller with a simulation running, first use program
management to copy it onto the computer, then convert it there.
