Toshiba EX-100 PLC Programming
Hi logicmuthu,
Sorry to sadden you but goody is right, you do need the hardware 'dongle' which plugs into the serial port.
This is made by Rainbow Technology and is called the Sentinal Pro. The part number is RB-4X33CH-B9610L2436. They have a website (do a google search) and should be able to help you.
If you run the EX-PDD software without this dongle in, when you try anything that requires the PC to communicate with the PLC it comes up with error message '(190)Hardware key not installed' or something like that.
You will need the cable to connect the PLC to the PC, it has a 9 pin D type plug for the COM1 port on the PC, a little black box in the middle, and an 8 (or maybe 10)pin rectangular plug for the programming port on the EX-100.
If I can get a part number for this for you I will post it on here.
I do have a question for you. Do you know of a place to download an editor program for the EX-100 ladder programs?
Many thanks.
Chris Marsden.
