Merci JC, Thanks for the feedback - I kinda' like the museum piece and still considering to acquire the TSX-TS4-21E language module. Only 1 piece and hopefully I would be in action. In any case, I trust your advise and will make preparations accordingly. I have software (floppies) with PL7-2, some with XTEL, some with OS2... tried earlier putting everything together but it was a pain to configure and possibly version were off. If I could locate a functioning image I will be super happy. Any idea of where to start looking? As for the RS232->RS485 I have several converters from different manufacturers. USB and regular com port interface - should take care of the TSX17 aspect. As for the RS232->Current Loop converter I need to shop around. I do see some Westermo MA-21 out there, but like the little generic converter you included as an example. Thanks again, JP  

Thanks Hud, Appreciate the feedback - however, I am still at a stage where I need to extract the source file to a computer. Right just trying to get it out on a printer using the T407 console. If I could get to a stage where I had the source file and was able to convert, I would be a happy camper :) Sincerely, Jeppe  

Hello, Does anyone know of a compatible printer for the TSX T407? An old PLC conversion is coming up - need to convert a system with 1 x TSX 47-40 as master looking at 4 x TSX 17-24012 slaves. I have the TSX T407 10 Programmer w. language module TSX TS4 50F (french) for the TSX17 PL7.2 - also have the TSX 17ACC7 adapter for TSX17/ TSX T407 communication and the TSX CTC03 cable (9pin -> 15pin) - communication works well.. even if language is French. For the conversion and instead of handwriting rung by rung, I would like to Print the TSX17 program logic. I see there is both a 'Transfer to Printer' option in the Programmer and what seems to be a Parallel Port - however initial attempt to print to an old printer failed. I take certain protocol is needed in the printer. Bonus Question: For the TSX 47-40 I assume I need to acquire the TSX-TS4-21E language module for TSX 47-40? Anything else to talk to this old sweetheart? Same adapter and cable for the TSX17 works? Thanks in advance, JP  

Hi all, I found a paper copy of the manual on PL7-3 for DOS - I quickly scanned the first chapter and attached it. If you look on page 9 of the PDF is tells you minimum DOS 3.2 and no higher than DOS 3.3. I should be able to find the disks somewhere so I will try to make a Virtual DOS machine with PL7-3 and let you know how that goes. All the best, Jeppe pl7_3_dos_man_001.pdf pl7_3_dos_man.pdf
