Hello to all, my customer ask to me to revamp a very very old dcs : Fisher and Porter System six
This system has been integrated in ABB family, but is very very old, and ABB no more support and do not have a thecnician.
In the 1990 i used this system but now i do not have the harware key to edit the graphic part.
The DCS data base is textual, it's very complex, but i think that do not have problem to rebuild.
Graphically the situation is different. The graphical pages are not textual, and is possible to edit only with Grafx.exe
I need for example , to edit a pushbutton to what action and where work. For example a pushbutton can set a digital output directly or set other bit, again can set a data value etc.
From only data base it's very hard, and often impossible to understand the operator command
I have a graph.exe but this not work because need a harware key : Sentinel Pro connected to parallel port.
I know that also package from ABB was used in the past : CTK composer. I do not know this package and if is possible to use for editing graphical page, but in any case Abb do not more supply CTK
Any one may help me ? I need to bypass this hardware key ! I've request assistante to Abb also to pay but Abb do not support
ABB does not offer assistance and we are abandoned.
My customer are desperate because the system works worse every day and soon dies
Thank you to all in advance
