Hi all
I have just managed to blow up my laptop while programming a Modicon Momentum. A wrong connection and me not checking the wiring first, caused a surge through the serial port and has blown the motherboard.
What I want to know is, does anyone know of a device (Such as a surge arrestor or an isolator) that I can plug between my laptop and the programming port that can protect my laptop? It must be universal because I program several different kinds of PLC.
Thanks in advance
Dave
