A project was dumped on me:
There is an Allen-Bradley SLC550, no one has the a backup of the program (there is a copy running on the SLC), I need to learn about the program and how to modify it (just add a couple of lines and expand the SLC: add couple Thermocouple modules, and a Modbus Card)
I was told that Allen-Bradley have all their hardware programmable only with their own software (RSLogix???) that one can purchase for a modest ransom of $5000.
Is there any other way for me to connect to the SLC and see what is running there and modify it? I don't mind paying a few hundred - but $5000 is
ridiculous - considering that I only need to modify two or three lines.
What are my options here?
Thanks
Peter
