1. Overview
This chapter describes the migration procedure from the data and control
applications on the NFCP100, to the NFCP501/NFCP502.
First step, backing up, convert and restore the data on the controller by the command
operation on the personal computer.
Next step, migrate the control application for the NFCP100 (project on the Logic
Designer), to for the NFCP501/NFCP502. And download to the NFCP501/NFCP502.

Figure Overview of migration
Setting items that are not included in the NFCP100, will be the default value. If
necessary, set it.
- CPU duplex configuration
- SNTP server
- Ethernet port No.3 and No.4 for NFCP502
- SD card
TIP
- Control application, boot project and the source file is not a conversion target. These are compiled
and downloaded by the Logic Designer.
- FcxConvert command can not convert the file that was backed up from NFJT100. Re-set IO
setting by the resource configurator. Re-set DUONUS.PRP by the maintenance page. Retain
saved file can be restored without conversion.
● FcxBackup Command
This command backs up the target files from NFCP100 or NFJT100.
"BACKUP" folder will be created in the current directory.
TIP
- When you run the FcxBackup, FcxConvert and FcxRestore command in the command prompt,
move to the unzipped folder.
- The "-all" argument can be used FcxBackup command R3.10 or later.
- The "-u <user name>" and "-p <password>" argument can be used FcxBackup command R4.10 or
later. If you have changed the user name and password from the initial value, be sure to specify
them always.
● FcxConvert Command
This command converts the FcxBackup command output file to NFCP501/NFCP502 file.
● FcxRestore Command
This command restores (downloads) the FcxConvert command output file to NFCP501/
NFCP502.
TIP
When restoring the file backed up from the NFCP100 and converted, to the NFCP501 /NFCP502, the
IP address of the backup source is set as the restore destination.
● FcxSaveRetain Command
This command saves, acquires, restores, and clears the retained data.
In this TI, only clear option is used. The command with "-c" option clears the retain data
on the SRAM. This command is used together with the FcxRestore command to ensure
that the backed up retained data is reflected in the SRAM.
IMPORTANT
If retain data area is extended, it is careful in clearing retained data.
TIP
The combination of PLC type and processor type is shown in the table below.

/NFLC121)
FCX_B: For NFCP501/NFCP502, retain data area extended version of FCX_A
FCX_C: For NFCP501/NFCP502 with three or more extension units and
NFLF111/NFLP121/NFLC121, device label extended version of FCX_B
*2: If the PLC type is IPC_40, the project for NFCP100 can be used by re-compiling
without changing itself.
If the PLC type is IPC_32 / IPC_33, re-create the resource with IPC_40.
If you want to change the processor type to FCX_B/FCX_C, re-create the
resource with IPC_40.
This text describes the steps to migrate from NFCP100 to NFCP500. Except for
the noted items, it is also true for NFJT100.
Migration Environment
The Tools for NFCP500 are required on the engineering PC.
- Logic Designer R4.20 or later
- Resource Configurator R4.20 or later
- Backup, Convert and Restore commands R4.20 or later
TIP
To back up NFCP 100, a Windows 7 or Windows 10 engineering PC is required. Backup commands
(R4.20 or later) will not work on Windows XP or Windows Vista PCs.
TIP
The definition information of the fieldbus (NFLF111, NFLP121, NFLC121) is stored on the engineering
PC with the IP address of the controller as the key. If field bus communication modules are used, it
requires advance preparation. For detail, refer to Appendix 3 "Field bus Definition".
Procedure
● Step A1: Obtaining conversion tools
(1) Insert the system DVD-ROM for the R4.20 or later in the DVD drive.
(2) Select “DVD Contents.”
(3) Double-click the FCN/FCJ Basic Software Package.
- Pkg_NFCP500.exe in the Pkg_NFCP500 folder for FCN-500
(4) Specify a folder for saving unzipped files, and click the [Install] button.
The conversion tools are unzipped.
TIP
For example, if the specified folder for storing unzipped files is “C:\temp,” the following files will be
created in that Folder.
C:\temp\NFCP500\FcxBackup.exe
C:\temp\NFCP500\FcxRestore.exe
C:\temp\NFCP500\FcxConvert.exe
C:\temp\FCXTOOL\FcxSaveRetain.bat
C:\temp\FCXTOOL\save_retain.txt
To specify the name for the unzipped folder, do not include space in the name of the folder.
TIP
The [SAVE] button is not displayed in the maintenance mode.
If prior to R1.70, please save the retain data refer to the online help.
If the retain data area to extend, the data saved in Step A2 is not available in NFCP500.
TIP
If already have a backup, you can skip this step.
TIP
The IP address of the restored NFCP501/NFCP502 is reflected the IP address of NFCP100.
If necessary, change the IP address. If field bus (NFLF111, NFLP121, NFLC121) are used, do the
following after Step A7 restore. Step A7-1: Exported by Resource Configurator, Step A7-2: Change IP
address, and Step A7-3: Imported by resource configurator.
License information can’t be migrated to the FCN-500. Please use the CPU module to the required
licenses are bundled.
(2) Set some settings for new function or additional configuration by the resource
configurator,.
- SNTP server (If necessary)
SEE ALSO
For setting of the SNTP server, refer to the "2.2.6 Time Synchronization" TI "STARDOM Engineering
Guide (FCN-500/FCN-RTU)".
If the user library is compressed in this project, it is also copied user library
when it is decompressed. If an existing project is present, it compares the
version information before overwriting, and select to overwrite or Save As.
Compile the project of the user library in the logic designer of R4 after thawing.
TIP
The user library is a project to which the user is to create your own reference. Library of APPF is not
included.
If you are not using the user library, this step is not necessary.
TIP
The project of R4 format can’t be opened in the R1/R2/R3 Logic Designer.
(3) If the PLC type is defined in IPC_32 / IPC_33, re-create the resource (PLC type:
IPC_40). When you re-create the resource, copy and set the definition following
information on the logic designer.
- Copy of the task definition
- Copy of the Program POU instance definition
- Copy of the global variable definition
- Setting of target setting dialog
- Copy of the device label variable definition
- Copy of the software wiring definition
- Change of resource names
SEE ALSO
Detailed procedure of re-creating resources, refer to online help "Control Application Programming
Guide" - "Control application creating" - "Considerations in the control application programming" -
"Project data management."
TIP
If the retain data area to extend, re-create the resource (PLC type: IPC_40, Processer type: FCX_B
/FCX_C).
If the retain data area to extend, the data saved is not available in NFCP500.
If changing the processor type of existing resources, the retain data area will not be extended.
TIP
In the control side and standby side CPU module, use the same model and same revision of basic
software.
This text describes the steps to migrate from NFCP100 to NFCP500. Except for
the noted items, it is also true for NFJT100.

IMPORTANT
The retain data that changed or added to in-house equipment, re-set it in the field.
TIP
In the control side and standby side CPU module, use the same model and same revision of basic
software.
TIP
The [SAVE] button is not displayed in the maintenance mode.
TIP
This backup is the storage of the contents of the in-house work. You do not need to restore the content
in the field.
TIP
In the control side and standby side CPU module, use the same model and same revision of basic
software.
- When opened in logic designer R4, a project that was created in a previous edition
Logic Designer (R1/R2/R3), are automatically converted to R4 format.
- A project that was saved in the Logic Designer R4, can’t be opened in previous edition
Logic Designer.
- Match the release and the revision of Logic Designer, Resource Configurator and
FCN/FCJ basic software.

TIP
If you have used the R2.20 previous FF engineering tool, conversion is required from the FF engine
tool to FF configurator. It offers a tool to support this conversion. After the conversion, you must check
the operation of the field bus.
For details, refer to "STARDOM FOUNDATION fieldbus System Migration Guide", TI 34P02Q55-01E.
The field bus definition information CF/DD files for FOUNDATION fieldbus, GSD files for
PROFIBUS or EDS files for CANopen, must be copied and imported from the
engineering PC for NFCP100 to the engineering PC for NFCP500.
SEE ALSO
- For how to copy CF/DD files for FOUNDATION fieldbus, refer to “5.8 Copying Fieldbus Associated
Files”, IM 34P02Q51-02E.
For CF/DD files, refer to “Items obtained from the device vendor” of “B1.2 Preparation for
Engineering”, TI 34P02Q51-02E.
- For how to register GSD files for PROFIBUS, refer to “3.3.3 Registering GSD Files”, IM
34P02Q57-01E.
- For how to register EDS files for CANopen, refer to “3.3.1 Registering Slave Devices”, IM
34P02Q58-01E.
If you want to engineering in a new PC for the NFCP500, export the definition
information by resources configurator on the original PC, and then import this definition
information by resources configurator on the new PC.
If you upgrade the PC for NFCP100 to for NFCP500, export and import it does not need,
because the definition information of the field bus is in the PC.
