Hi
I am no siemens expert and have been asked to price for changing out an old obsolete HMI unit (it has a large keypad, lots of F keys and a 2 line LCD Display) to a Redlion G308.
My first question is the G3 has Siemens comms drivers, none listed as S5 but there is one TI500 series ? Is this the one ? If not then is there an S5 driver available ?
The Processor is at present a 941, this is being swapped out to a 943 with 16K eprom.
I dont know what the existing HMI is, ill be on site tomorrow so will hopefully be able to have a look. The existing HMI goes into the same port on the processor that is used for programming.
I can also get a copy of the HMI program but i wouldnt have the software so hopefully someone here will be able to help out!!
Edit: Another thing - what cable (pinout) would be required for the g3 -> S5 ?
