What plc are you trying to connect to?

Hi its FX2n.


Thanks

When you do get the software, GX Developer is what you need, you will need a SC09 cable/adapter.

Cheapies on eBay or a good one from PLCCable.com

Thank you,

yes i have the cable on the way, and a new battery.

I am assuming the battery going flat has made it lose its program. If not the PLC has some other error.

many thanks

Is the battery light on?
Do you have a backup program?
If so, do you know which software it was written with.

 

[swifty1981]

Yes the battery light is on.


I have no backup. I'm waiting to hear from the machine manufacturer to see if they still have the file.

 

[Ronnie Sullivan]

Sometimes, when the battery light is on, it's an early warning.
The program might be still in there.

Edit, if you've come on here I guess the machine doesn't work. And presume it's lost.

If you get the software and cable before the battery, or before the program from the OEM, I would write a simple program to flash an output or 2, lights only, and make sure the PLC works right off.

If it does, then cycle the power off for 1 minute and see if it comes back up intact or it lost the program that quick. Even with no battery it should retain the program a few minutes i think.

 

[swifty1981]

The CPU-e light is flashing, apparently the machine stopped working a long time ago.


My directors asked if I can get it working again.

 

[Ronnie Sullivan]

If you don't get the file (and I doubt you will as the plc is old and the batteries last donkeys years without a power up so it must be a very old program, 10 years +)
Then it's a complete rewrite.
