Thanks for the advice. I don't have any other GE Fanucs to try and retrieve the program from. We have a pot pouri of PLCs in our facility. GE Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Koyo/Direct Logic, AB, Siemens, Idec and Omron. This place is a real challenge. Anyway this is my first dealing with a GE Fanuc soI may have more questions as I progress through this quagmire I'm in. I have another laptop to use so I will try these things today and post the results this afternoon. -EeMaN

I recently was assigend the task of backing up the PLC programs at our plant. By the way I'm new at the plant what happened before was out of my hands. Anyway, during my investigation into what I would need I found out that there are currently NO backups of the programs. In an attempt to backup two seperate Series 90 Micro programs I ran into this problem. I only have LogicMaster 90 v 9.05 to use. Since I don't have the original program I tried to LOAD the program to the TEMP folder and get this error each time. "Error during load; Program folder incomplete. Must reload or restore logic. Also at the bottom of the display in the status area is the message "NO COMMUNICATION." I observed that during the attempt to LOAD the program that the comm lights on the cable went out after a few seconds and then came back on just before the message appeared. Anyone have an idea of what is going on and how I can get these programs off of the PLC. It is imperative that I get a good backup because we are tearing the equipment down in three weeks and shipping it to a new plant and the PLC will be unpowered for at least three weeks. EeMaN
