I need to get connected to an older machine that has been in storage for years. It utilizes a Scheider Electric 140 CPU 434 12A. I have not worked with the Schneider ecosystem and need to cost out the correct programming software and cabling.
I'm pretty sure the cable I need is this, if someone could verify: https://www.se.com/us/en/product/99...or-pc-terminal---for-unity-processor---3.7-m/
The software is a little less obvious. I found documentation for the Quantum processors which states:
I do not yet know if the processor has been already been updated to support unity pro. Is anyone here familiar with this procedure? Do I also need a installation of Concept or ProWORX to perform the upgrade (i.e to save the program prior). Would I need to prepare a windows XP VM to run this on a modern machine?
Also, do I even have to purchase unity pro? Since proworx has reached it's end of life, is it possible to source a legitimate copy of it?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The software is a little less obvious. I found documentation for the Quantum processors which states:
As both the 140 CPU 434 12A and 140 CPU 534 14B Quantum CPUs are compatible
with Concept or ProWORX software, they can be upgraded to be compatible with the
Unity Pro™ software without any hardware modification.. This process of migrating
from Concept to Unity Pro is achieved by updating the CPU operating system.
This update is performed with the aid of the OS-Loader tool included with Unity Pro
(see page 7/29).
