Hi All,
Can anyone give a clue as to the software and cable required to upload the program? I have no experience with this brand.

The customer just want's me to upload the program for backup.


Thanks!!

Back when the product was sold by TI the programming software for that model was a DOS-based program called TISoft. When Siemens bought TI's PLC product line, they continued TISoft for a while. I can't remember whether or not they renamed the software.
According to an old Automation Direct catalog their DirectSoft5 software was compatible with the 335-37 CPU. I don't know whether they retained that backward compatibility in DirectSoft6. As JRW suggests, your best bet for the most reliable information will be Automation Direct. They are a Koyo entity and Koyo was the manufacturer of that product in all of its iterations.
 
Initially that product required a data communications unit that plugged into the port on the CPU and converted it to SS232 or RS422. I believe Siemens offered a model with the RS232 or RS422 port built-in so you didn't need the data communications unit.
So, depending on your model, you might need the data communications unit, an RS232/RS422 converter and a 9-pin to 25-pin serial RS 232 cable to connect to the PC running the software and a USB to serial converter.
Presumably you need to extract the program from the unit so you can convert it to something more current, so it might make more sense to try to locate someone local who still has the necessary software, converters and cables to come in and extract the program for you.
 
Thanks for the Great info!!!

This facility also has nine other Automation Direct PLC's and a couple GE series one I also need to upload, so this works great!

Thanks!!!
 
False alarm on the Series 3. I just found out it was replaced with an A-D PLC, but wasn't checked off the antiquated list.

Thank You for all your help!!!
