I am a novice in this field, but would greatly appreciate any pointers to solve a problem with an old motion picture/ film scanner.
It has a PLC which works to control the scanner locally or remotely through RS232. The maker Quantel went into administration 20 years ago, so no available PC software now.
Do I try to copy the eprom of the chip, or can I find software that will copy the PLC functions so the PLC's keyboard function appears on my PC to control it from there, i.e. remotely?
Can I control the scanner through an Arduino plugin tool?
Sorry for my ignorance on these technical matters
Best wishes,
Patrick
