This is an old plant with series 6 systems, running via Logicmaster 6 parallel software. Our workmaster went down and we need parallel software.
I still have a WorkmasterII with a parallel card (WSI). When someone posts a request on the forum for a printout of their Logicmaster file I run LM6 using DOSBox on an XP machine.
I mount the root drive (C as drive C in DOSBox which it recommends against doing. Logicmaster Six prefers to run out of a directory named "LM6". When I was trying to make sure that the version of LM6 I was getting ready to send to Cyrqenergy was parallel, I got that failure message unless I launched LM6 the way it wants.Dosbox didn't work for me, I was getting the dreaded "Software Initialization Failure Number 2". How do you have yours set up?
Wait a minute... GM... Series Six... in Tennessee... rummages through some dusty memories... are you referring to the former Saturn auto plant? If so, by any chance are any of these still controlling the five Carrier Air Conditioning centrifugal water chillers? That was my first HMI project, using the original PanelMate 1000.Ugh! Do anything to avoid using the Serial version!
@Steve: Do you have the most recent version (yeah, decades ago) that you can create a "Saturn.def" macro file that will be loaded when LM6 gets started up? Great for automatically bringing up the PLC program when you start LM6. I think that it's 4.6 or something...
GM still has a few Series Sixes, and it's getting almost as hard to find guys who can program them anymore as it is to find parts for them.
But I'm not surprised that this old "dinosaur" is still working.
