Hi,
I've finished building a PLC sim. and have found a pc to dedicate to it, but having problems with the install. I know some of you might have some concerns in this area so let me say that there are pc's out of commision or not used for PLC's so licensing isn't a issue. My problem is I've never installed a PLC from scratch. My question is do I have all the software needed. I had to hunt to get what I've got. I have the Rslogic500 CD(with rslinx lite) and a Rslinx professional CD and a MasterDisk for Rslinx on floppy (don't think this is with the other stuff). When I select the program from the start menu it will not start because of a copy protection error. One thing I noticed upon installing it (both times) is moving activation. I think I'm missing something because I try to move it from the CD (rslogix500) to the C: and it says nothing to move or nothing found. Is there a floppy or second CD I need to find and is this what is causing my problems or am I barking up the wrong tree. I've read some notes and help files but nothing is specific to installation and nothing instructs you to put another CD in. I don't know where the box is for the serial # so I looked at one of the computers used for this and took the number from there. Any help is appreciated. I figured if I contact Rockwell either a service contract will be needed or cost to the company which neither will happen. I've built the box with my money, just using one of their PLC's not in use currently. Since this is my project I doubt I will get anyone's time and definetly no company money. Any help is deeply appreciated. I feel like a kid that just got a new toy but I can't open it yet - it's driving me nuts to see if I did everything right (which I'm pretty sure I did)
Thank you all,
Dr Oldz
I will check in at least twice a day except for Friday and will post a reply to answer any questions you have. I didn't go into rev's and such because I think this a general question.
