Modules and Programs

Right now I have a few S4C+ controllers running a paint application and every part is running a different program.  Every time they want to switch to a different part, they have to put the controllers into manual, select the correct .prg file and then put it back into auto and run it.  I would like to add a part select in a module and run the programs based on the signal from the PLC.  Can I run different programs from a module or do I have to convert all the programs into modules?

    You can run as many programs as you want from one module.  The only issue you have is that any module level variables that you have defined in each of your current modules or prg cannot have the same name.  So you need to give them different name and put them all in one module.
