Slc 150

[Chris Elston 78]

Ok when I started doing this PLC programming and automation bit, my first PLC was an Allen Bradley brick SLC500 with fixed I/O. Now comes a day that I need to work on an older SLC 150. I have seen and played with that hand held programmer, but I gotta a question.... Can I get some software for the laptop and a programming cable instead of using that handheld programmer? Can I make my own cable? (I doubt it since that SLC 150 has some sort of DIN connector on it) AB probablly wants $1,000 for the cable...not to crack on you Ken, but we all know how AB handles obsolete parts... Sorry, but I am use to working on the big SLC's and PLC-5. Not everyday do I get a chance like this to work on a SLC 150.

There is software, an AB version and an AI version....... the "cable" consists of a PCC (personal communication convertor), similar (but not the same) as a 1747-PIC

Pin out for the 8 pin Din connector: 2 = rxd - 1 = rxd + 3 = txd - 8 = txd - 7 = gnd  Remove | Alert  Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top   Sid - (2 posts)  Mar-05-02, 08:05 AM (EST)   3.

Holly cow... Thanks a million times over. Luckly, I did find an old 1745-PCC interface module that should work? As long as it's not broke. But the wiring and cable pin outs are a big plus! This is going to help me out alot. PS: I don't care if you post links to other boards or sites. The way I look at it, we are all in here for one reason. To share and solve each other's problems. My website traffic is everyone else website traffic, because someone out there knows the answer...No sense in trying to hide the answers. Thanks again 93lt1!

I, too, welcome feedback from all the forums.  It doesn't hurt to be in concert with other websites rather than in competition.  It's encouraging to see regulars from other PLC forum websites.
