I am upgrading a 340 CPU to a 350. Is there a tool in DirectSoft32 that will do the conversion for me or do I have to do this manually?

No, you have to do it manually. However, if you export the program to mnemonic text, most of the instructions convert pretty straight forward
340 doesn't have X/Y, so you would have to change
STR IO0
to
STR X0 (or STR Y0 if output module)
The I/O is done differently since 350 distinguishes between Xs and Ys, so except for the I/O in the first slot, all your I/O numbers will be different.
You'll have similar editing to do with Registers (R vs. V memory) along with the accumulator instructions (don't ask me the equivalent of a DOUT5 is in 350-land http://forum1.automationdirect.com/board/biggrin.gif )
Then you can import the "new " mnemonic text program.
I don't know if it would be easier to print out the program and just re-enter it in ladder, or if you are good with RLL mnemonics, do what I mentioned above.
