Hello,
I have a forming machine that has a SLC 5/02 and Panelview 300 terminal. Unfortunately, the machine was seldom used and the battery quietly passed away...
I did manage to find the associated Eprom, and after installing it (and a new battery), I have some functionality of the machine - it is obvious to me that the program loaded as I can place the machine in manual and the I/O works, I can operate valves and motion manually, I just cannot access any of the timers or temperature settings because of the error.
I do not have software for either... The SLC 5/02 shows no com light (I think the 5/02 is DH only and I think it is supposed to be on steady). The PV panel has a flashing comms light (pretty sure it is also DH only).
I went into the panel using the <> buttons and it is DH, address 2. If I change the address to 1, it tells me "duplicate address" - does this mean it can see the 5/02 ? If I change the address to "0", it tells me required addresses are missing... I tried all of the baud rates, etc. No joy.
I found another 5/02 and cleared it, placed the Eprom in it, same situation. AB stuff is not really my thing (which is why I don't have the software), but I would sure love to have this machine back.
It's really not all that complicated, bunch of timers and some proportional temp controls, but it would still be much easier to get these guys talking rather than start from scratch....
Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance !
