To All,
As my age does not allow a great knowledge of legacy products, I have to call on the more experienced gentleman in the Automation area for help. I have a PLC 2 which no one at the mine has a cable to connect to. Does anyone know the pin-outs to connect from a standard Com port to a PLC 2. Or better still does anyone know if I can connect from my PCMK card to the PLC 2. I have a 1784-PCM5. Or is there a better way I am open to solutions, (this device is not networked so a lot of common options are out).
The obvious plan is to upgrade the processor to a control logix platform and keep the existing I/O. Any clues tips or more importantly warnings from
those out there who have successfully completed the code transfer.
The winder has not been touched since the initial commissioning, so hopefully the code they have is still O.K.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Michael Lindstrom
