Ab 6200 plc-5

[zz0ljf]

Looking for a copy of AB 6200 for a PLC-5 5/250 Pyramid Integrator. Please let me know if you have a copy.

Welcome to the forum.
if i am not mistaken, the 5/250 software required an installation key disk.
check with your local distributor to see if they still have their old laptop with the software loaded. you might be able to rent / borrow it.

No luck I’ve already talked to my Rockwell rep.

I think you need to specify a valid serial number when running the installation software.
This is from memory, and for 'normal' 6200 software for PLC5, not for the pyramid integrator, maybe it is the same.

Anyone have a copy of this?

I know I have an A/B laptop (and some floppies) for something of that time period . . . I'll try to remember to look Monday

sometimes you just can't get there from here ...

you might find the following link interesting (although it won't be helpful) ... note the date on the thread ...

Thank you for looking.

That laptop I have is a T-47 programming terminal - not quite what you were looking for.

I found a copy of the AI software and was able to get the program back into the PI. How do you set the IP of Ethernet module? It's not a parameter in the AI software so I'm assuming it must be done via BootP or some other DOS based software.

Last time I checked (about 5 years ago), it was over $10,000 per seat. It doesn't even show up in ProposalWorks to get a list price any more, even though their lifecycle search still shows it active. AB really wants folks to stop using it.

I don't have a copy of ABIC for the DOS BootP server however I've tried Rockwell's current BootP/DHCP software as well a WAGO BootP server and I'm still not having any luck. I see the BootP requests coming through and it attempts to assign an IP but never succeeds. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[zz0ljf]

Where can I find the sgmpccc.bin file? From a wireshark capture it appears the PI is attempting to TFTP a file from my BootP server after it receives it's IP.
