Hi Everyone,
Got a new project coming up and one of the older pieces of equipment has a GE 90-30 311 PLC. I would like to connect that to the Red Lion G09 HMI.
I have been doing some research and it looks like the 15 pin connection is RS-485 Communication. Is that correct? If so then connecting it to the G09 485 port should be pretty straight forward. I know RL makes a cable for the communications so I am trying to get a quote for that now.
Next question: I have done some work with GE Versamax and the RX3i processors but never worked with the 90-30. Will my PME 9.5 work to upload the program from the processor? This unit is about 20 years old as far as I can tell. Just wondering if I will have to convert it from some older file source. Let me know your thoughts on that.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
