Posted 18 Dec 2011 hi, i need to communicate with PLC 5, 5/15 classic i have PCMK DH+ card but when we change the laptop with new one i didn't find a PCMCIA slot , and another laptop have PCMCIA slot but the connector didn't match the PCMK card is there any solutions for communicate with PLC 5 classic without DH+ is there any adapter to use my PCMK card with any laptop (using USB port , or any standard port in new laptop) i found " U111M USB to PC Card Read-Writer 1 Slot PCMCIA PC " on http://www.synchrotech.com/products/card-rw_14-u111m_elan__ata_flash_sram_pcmcia_memory.html could it work , in that case how i configure the communication in RSlinx?

Posted 19 Dec 2011 (edited) Does your laptop have a express card slot? If so see link below. http://www.plctalk.n...+card+to+pcmcia Or a 1784-U2DHP adapter see PDF's below 1784u2dhp.pdf ABDH_Adapter.pdf Edited 19 Dec 2011 by Mickey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2011 depending on what you're trying to accomplish, it might be cheaper to just replace the PLC-5/15 processor with a used PLC-5/20 ... then you could use a cheap null-modem cable on the processor's serial port ... note: do NOT replace it with a PLC-5/25 - despite the higher model number, that one is a "classic/older" model that does NOT have a serial port ...

Posted 19 Dec 2011 (edited) Let us know if that works, I don't recall anyone trying that or finding one that works. Edited 19 Dec 2011 by Mickey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2011 I have old laptop it works ok with PCMK DH+ card but it is old it may fail soon new laptop didn't have express card i try another one but i found that the DH+ card connector didn't fit the slot ( i think DH+ card 64 and the laptop slot 32) so i try to find adapter for my DH+ card to use it with any laptop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
