Problem with Toshiba EX40

[slavo 0]

Hello, A few days ago I bought a second-hand packaging machine with Toshiba EX40H (2MCRB5) programmable controller. Now I need to re-programm this plc. I downloaded EXPDD2040 programming software, but I have no hardware key. Also I have no information about necessary cables or/and converters. Can anybody help me. I will be happy if I get anything about this plc. In advance thank you very much.

I used the EX20 years ago, the software i remember was DOS based and indeed require a key, but that was at previous employment and i no longer have access to it sorry... I do remember that you could program them with a hand held programmer these were really neat for the time because they even displayed the ladder logic on the diplay not just mnuemonics..You might be able to pick one of these up off an auction site perhaps or mabey at PLC Centre Sorry could not be of any more help.
