dale,
What model do you have. If it's the Micrex, your out of luck. We have the Micrex series on a couple of our 500 ton presses. I usually don't have to hook up to the plc often, but I know I get in the cabinet and get this monster out to hook up to it. I don't remember the model, but I can't be a hand held unit, unless you had you buddy hold onto it while you did the key pushing. I'll look at work and find out what this big grey monster is.
