RobotStudio event

.Cfg File old to New

i have an old robotic application that we are recreating with a new IRC5 Controller, When I try and upload the old .cfg file it tells me there are errors in it.

When i view it there seems to be changes/differences for example,

New Place where IP address is kept

EIO:CFG_1.0:6:1:: taking this from robot ware 6
 
INDUSTRIAL_NETWORK:

      -Name "DeviceNet" -Label "DeviceNet Master/Slave Network" -Address "2"

      -Name "EtherNetIP_Anybus" -Label "EtherNet/IP Anybus Network"\
      -Address "192.168.250.20" -SubnetMask "255.255.255.0" -Gateway "0.0.0.0"


****************************************************************************************************

Old area

EIO:CFG_1.0:5:0::   --- Taking it that this from robotware 5 

EIO_BUS:

      -Name "Virtual1" -ConnectorID "SIM1"

      -Name "DeviceNet1" -BusType "DNET" -ConnectorID "PCI1"\
      -ConnectorLabel "First DeviceNet" -DN_BaudRate 250

      -Name "EtherNetIP_FA1" -BusType "ENIP" -ConnectorID "FA1"\
      -ConnectorLabel "EtherNet/IP Fieldbus Adapter" -EN_Address "10.100.41.223"\
      -EN_SubnetMask "255.255.255.0" -EN_Gateway "0.0.0.0"

Is there anyways I can find out what has changed over the revisions to make it work quickly ? 

Or would I be better off just starting from scratch and setting it all up again ?

There is quite a complex set up as the robot controller controls a servo driver as the master over device net. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
