Contact Qualitrol. They now own the Series Five.

Just got quotation for it, Thanks.
Can you tell me the spec of the serial cable needed.

Your 90-30 cable won't work. The 15-pin port on the Series Five is for an operator interface unit they used to sell with the PLC. The Logicmaster programming port is the 25-pin port. They only use pins 2, 3 and 7. The Logicmaster manual shows pins 4 and 5 (RTS and CTS) jumpered together on the Series Five side. It also shows RTS and CTS jumpered together on the PC side.

Steve,
I just found that the battery in the memory card is still good.
CPU is in Run but no outputs, CPU alone with no I/O is in stop, so seems like hardware configuration is ok. Is there a way without the software to force CPU loading the memory card from scratch or after memory clear?
