Going online with a TI505

Can anybody help me with steps in getting online with the TI505 plc? I have a dongle and I need to look at some inputs while the machine is in operation, but I am not familiar with the steps to do this. I have a hard copy of the code and would also like to know how to navigate to a specific bit or network while online with the processor. I would greatly appreciate any help with this. -Bobby

You failed to mention which software package you are using. 505 Workshop or TISoft? Which processor, TI525, TI545....? What OS on the PC? If I remember the TI versions were possibly all RS232 or 422. So is your dongle a USB to serial unit?
The TI500's and 505's were some of the easiest to connect with.

TI 505 series use Ti-Soft software and a standard RS232 connection to the top port.

The RS232 must be native, no USB adapter without a lot of effort, and must be on Com1 or Com2.

Here is a link to a TI-505 Programming Reference Manual, thanks to Ken Moore. This manual does not contain the "going online" steps.

Ken may also know which manual contains the steps to go online.

Online connection is covered in the Tisoft manual. I can email the 6.3 version.
