For system integrators and OEM builders: read the code before you quote
A prospect wants a retrofit and emails their current program. Your engineers' seats are busy on live projects, and the file was saved in a version you don't have installed.
Integrators use Rungview to open customers' .ACD and .L5X projects on any laptop without tying up a Studio 5000 seat: size a retrofit by reading the existing routines and tag count, hand over PDFs of the delivered logic, show customers exactly what changed between versions, and convert .ACD to .L5X for customers on older software. Projects stay on your machine, which keeps NDAs simple.
Quoting a retrofit
Open the customer's project and check the project info: controller, Studio 5000 version, number of programs, routines, rungs and tags, add-on instructions and modules. Skim the main routines to judge code quality. That's enough to scope a migration or estimate the effort to add a feature, and anyone on the sales side can do it.
Cleaner handovers
- Change list: compare the delivered version with the one you started from, and print the differences.
- Documentation: print the key routines with comments and tag descriptions.
- Version-friendly files: include an .L5X with the .ACD so the customer can import it into an older Studio 5000.
Field service
Your field techs carry Rungview on a light laptop to read a machine's program on site, without a Studio 5000 licence on every machine.
