1st post which i hope the Gurus will be able to help me with.
We`ve (re) inherited a piece of equipment at work which has a mitsubishi melsec F-40M PLC with the optional rom fitted.
It has been shipped to us after being dismantled and the battery backup (F-20BC??) was last changed in 1988.
Two things spring to mind, do i need to bother with the backup battery as the ROM has the program after all it has been over 25 years.
What could i fit to the PLC in place of the existing battery (i`m thinking that there must be something with the same connector that can be brought off the shelf).
Also, best way to backup the program ?, we`ve no keypad to connect to view the code.
Regards
Steve
