Question For the B&R folks

I have a problem with an old CPU CP40 (didn't want to go active Monday morning) I have found a CP60.My question is Will this CPU work in my rack? and will it read My eprom?
Thanks in advance

Ok, I have done some research and find that I need an obselete cable known as a (BRKAOL5-1) and prosys software. Ive been looking for both for three days and can't find any. The B&R folks only say Good luck. but are willing to come to my location and help.(for a nominal fee of course) Any help with the cable print out or lead on software is
appreciated.
Thanks again Lynn Davis

I am afraid it probably will not work. The CP40 uses a Motorola 6303 processor, while the CP60 uses a Motorola 6809 processor. Different instruction set. A NTCP33 uses the same processor as CP40.

Thanks for the info. The processor lost its program and after trouble shooting I found the EEPROM unit was bad. I had to contact the OEM and have another sent to me. Well Its back online and I have almost caught production back up. I would still like to find a interface cable and a copy of the PROSYS software so I can go on line with these units.
Thanks again.

To my knowledge with these plcs you need the source code loaded on your laptop

Dear Alvin,

PROSYS software is still available but BRKAOL5-1 cables are no longer is stock. BRKAOL5-1 is not just a cable but an electronic device; therefore, a pin-out is not enough to construct it.

Please contact B&R support at [email protected] if you need any further assistance.
