Hello all. I have a 984 compact modicon plc in a very large textile dryer/tumbler. As luck would have it it lost it's program. I have a like and similar dryer. I need someone to pull the program out of the good dryer and install the program in the dead dryer. If you know of some one that can do this please PM me on this site. Thank you.

How "like and similar"?? If the IO is not EXACTLY the same, copying the program to a different machine is essentially worthless...

The dryers are the same. May have to move a couple of wires on the output modules. These dryers are HUGE.

I used to work at AFC Tool (937)-275-8700 over on Webster years ago. Jeff Perry (ext 221) heads up their Automation Consulting group, they may be able to help you. He's new since I was there so flinging my name to him wouldn't do anything.
