I'm looking for a little help from the older guys here!
I look after DCS (TDC2000/3000& PLCs (Quantums & SLC5002)as part of my day job and have been roped into helping improve the quality of the local tech colleges automation classes.
I've set up their fixed & modular SLC500's onto a mixed network so they can teach comms, data transfer etc.
I got the key to the 'storage area' so I could find the oddments I was missing to finish up, and discovered a few items that may (or may not) be of use.
This stuff is wayyy before my time so I was hoping for a little help in figuring out what I could and couldnt use or what could be upgraded to make it usable.
There are:
3x PLC2, one labellled as a 'micro' - are the chassis & I/O compatible with a PLC5 processor?
1 x PLC4 - I didnt even know these even existed!
1 x Gould/Modicon Model 84 PLC ( 984 is about as old as I go - would modsoft talk to this thing?)
2x AB Industrial Programming Terminals - Are these any use or should we stick to Linx/Logix?
1x PanelView 1200 - Model 2711-TC1 - I cant find this model in PanelBuilder :0( any help in setting this up would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
