omron C20K

[rowens]

i have came upon an older omron plc in one of our machines.
it is a C20K-CDR-A.
My company wants the program modified. we have nothing as far as cables or software yet. My question is can it be programmed without the hostlink unit? another place that i worked had one of those.
I am going to have to get whatever is needed to hook to this plc. what would you recomend?

If you want to program it from your PC, you're gonna need a hostlink.

Another alternative is to buy or borrow a PRO15 handheld.

A good source for either is (of course) Ebay.
