Hi everyone, hope you are doing okay digging out of the snow?
I have a prospect with a Siemens Simatic 6AV6 644-0AA01-2AX0 12" Touchscreen HMI and a S7-300 PLC, I am not all that familiar with either, but I am wondering if a guy could pull the programs out of both of them without the original program file. I dont know how it works with Siemens.
The OEM doesn't want to do the changes they need in the HMI program because he built the mechanical part of the machine and farmed out the PLC and HMI programming and doesn't want to get involved.
So I am thinking about either changing out the HMI to a Red Lion 12 or 15" and rewriting the HMI program as long as I can get the PLC program out of the PLC.
But if I can get both the HMI and PLC program I will just reprogram the HMI with what the customer wants.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
