LogicMaster software

4 posts in this topic

I have a client that has an old extruder system that is controlled by a GE Fanuc 90-30 PLC.  I have been trying to get the running program out of the PLC so we can update with out having to write a new program.  It turns out the program was loaded using Logicmaster software and can only be read by Logicmaster software.  I cannot find Logicmaster software for free (trial?) or to purchase anywhere.  Any ideas?  I would really appreciate any guidance.  Thank you.

That doesn't sound right.  I haven't been using it lately, but I've connected to many 90-30 model with Proficy to pull old programs out.  They'll never show "Logix Equals" with a different programming tool, but that can be correctly by re-downloading.

Do note: the 90-30 does not carry the comments in the processor.  The original logicmaster files, if you have them, can be imported into Proficy.

I am able to connect with Proficy but the PLC crashes every time I try to read the program.  Everything else seems to work fine.  A specialist I worked with at Cimtec told me if the program was loaded with LM it can only be read with LM.  On the internet I found other people who have had this same problem and using LM was their solution.  I checked and our program was loaded with Logicmaster so that is what I am trying.  I am open to any other ideas.

Did you try reading the program while the PLC was stopped?
