I am trying to establish communication with a PLC5/40E which we have recieved from a different facility which got shut down. Problem is that no technical or other documentation is available.
The Channel 1 is connected with a TPT-10Base, i am using RSlinx ver 2.500.00.20 (CPR 7)
I tried both configuration drivers, ethernet devices & ethernet/Ip drivers, while setting my TCP/IP configuration to automatically set Ip address but couldn't see any node in RSWho.
I dont have any IP address for the PLC. is there any default IP address for these PLCs?
I tried Channel 0 for serial communication but auto-configuration fails.
The things i have noticed are that no inidication light of ENET or COMM goes green whenever i try to establish connection. Is there any way to enable communication like in Micrologix1200 ?
I am not much familiar with AB as our facility mostly have siemens.
Please let me know if i am missing something or you need any more information.
your help will be much appreciated.
