Hello everyone,

Thanks

Ahhhh DOX5 ... I remember this. One of the most primitive programming software I ever encountered.

DOX5 was used with SattControl.
There is this site, maybe they can help:
http://sattcontrol.se/programming/dox5-3/
It looks abandoned, maybe you can try to email them.

If you have a printout of the program, I would seriously consider replacing the arcaic PLC.
Select any current PLC and write a new program based on the printout.

Yeah I've seen that thread, sadly it's DOX10 anyway which is for slightly newer versions of Sattcons. I have to say I've gone through all google results and definitely no download link, just people saying they have it and to email them - but going years back. Thanks though!

Haha, yeah it's pretty rudimentary technology I have to say. We're looking at upgrading it but with the chip shortage we have a lot of waiting to do for parts to arrive. Just want it for a worst case scenario really.

I'll try this website, cheers

Ah, DOX10 is quite different to DOX5.

DOX5 reminded of EDLIN (remember that ?). Just gruesome.

Oof. Yeah.

Well, I found it. With manuals and everything.

What's a good website to upload files to nowadays? Somebody will need it some day.

If its small you can upload it directly to the forum, even if in parts.

All free file hosts will eventually remove your links.

Just below the limit! Cant upload manuals etc sadly as they're quite big.

Hope the software helps somebody.
