Technical support / getting a program off of a PLC
« on: May 10, 2002, 05:30:08 AM »
Hi, the new forum looks good.
I recently had my PC at work formatted, losing the programs I had written for my T100MD888 PLC. The PLC still works fine and after reinstalling the TriLogi software I can communicate PC to PLC. I tested this by setting the real time clock. When I try to open the program stored on the PLC I get an error message.
I have tried this two different ways, one by opening the matching source file: I get an error message that says that the file is not found or not a valid TriLogi file.
Then I tried opening the file from the TL server, when I do this I find only an empty directory.
Is there another way to try to download the program from the PLC to the computer? Am I making some other obvious mistake? I have hard copies of my programs but I would rather not try to redo the programs on my computer.
Thanks for any advice,
Will
