I have a 7 slot rack with a SLC 5/03 controller,2 input cards, and two output cards
I am trying to emulate a PLC that is out in the plant, so I can edit the program without stopping production.
Everything on the "plant" PLC is 115 VAC... I have everything back here on the bench except one input card... I DO have dc input cards available
Is there a relatively easy way that I can download the program from the 'plant" PLC into the "bench" PLC... edit the program, and then make it suitable again when I'm done, for the 'plant" PLC? change the IO configuation or something... would that work??
thanks
