  1. It's a micrologix or an SLC isn't it? 
    Fault Code = 0002H  accompanied message:

    "Unexpected hardware watchdog timeout or an ASIC reset occurred. Cannot go online or upload from default processor (no program). You must perform download."

    This occurs from one of three conditions on AC powered units.

    1. AC power browns out slowly.
    2. AC power modulates below 50hz before failing
    3. The PLC is now a crippled self-bricking POS that can no longer hold a program past a power cycle.

  2. I've done it before. worked just fine. But if you're not using DH+ communications I'd get a 5/05 you just have to change the processor type in the project before you download it.
    If you are using DH+ communications I'd suggest budgeting to change them all to 5/05 at once and reconfigure for ethernet, that way you have some path for new equipment or scada.


  3. I've got a 90 Micro I haven't been able to get online with I'll try it on.

    That's a big oh hell no.

    I don't have any PC's older enough to run that,

  4. I'd look at Allen Bradley Compactlogix PLCs that have the sweet programming features of the controllogix with a lower price tag and no stupid backplane.

    I have avoided the Siemens mostly due to scada driver support and lack of engineers asking for it outside D.O.D. projects.

    I've only dealt with Mitsubishi Drives, hopefully their PLCs aren't as convoluted,
