About this task
If you exported modules containing PID, PID Pre-Processors logic blocks, or both, the modules do not receive the PID and PID Pre-Processor changes when brought back into the application (either by selecting the module from the Custom folder in the control block palette of the Logic view, or by right-clicking a module category in the Control view and selecting New, and then adding it from the Module Selection dialog box).
To upgrade custom control modules (recommended method):
- Create an application containing your custom modules at a version prior to Release 5.0 if you created the original module prior to Release 5.0. Otherwise, create an application containing your custom modules using Release 5.0.
- Open this file with the tool Release 5.1 or later software and upgrade the CAF (including the modules) to the new release. See the Upgrading a System section.
- View and verify the logic of your modules.
Note: You may need to make connections between the PID and PID Pre-Processor logic blocks.
- Export the module, and use this new version for all future applications.
To upgrade custom control modules (alternative method):
- In the Control View, add your custom module from the palette (New Module Selection).
- View the logic of the module.
- Add a new PID Pre-Processor block, and a new PID block.
- Connect the inputs of both blocks, and connect the outputs of the PID Pre-Processor to the PID inputs.
- Delete the output connections of the old PID block and connect the outputs of the new PID block to the outputs.
- Delete the old PID and PID Pre-Processor blocks.
- View and verify the logic of your modules.
- Export the module, and use this new version for all future applications.
