SLC5 refresher course?

I have not had need to program or troubleshoot an SLC5 series for over 12 years. Now I have a small relatively simple project offered to me to reprogram a n SLC5-03 with maybe 30 I/O. Nothing fancy just interlocks on a material handling system. Does anyone know of a on-line tutorial I can visit as a refresher course? I hate to fumble around trying to remember basic tasks in front of the customer.

I dont know of a tutorial but can you get them to email you the program so you can take a look and get familiar ?

Wish I could. My customer is a contractor and not very tech-savy. They bought a notebook PC just for this little project and claim to not know how to copy and email the program (probably just not willing to take the time). They just want me to show up, plug in their PC and start making changes. I know the program is not difficult, I just can't remember AB's addressing scheme, command list etc.

Some light reading:

You could also download the free version of RSL500, it only works with the 10 point ML1000 but still uses the same instructions.

There is also the PLC Book by Hugh Jack that is based on AB but may be more geared to PLC5 then SLC500. This link also offers other information. http://www.patchn.com/plc.htm
