Third party 'Download Only' utility for AB's?

5 posts in this topic

I know this is a long shot, but other manufacturers do this, so I'm hoping there's something similar for the Allen-Bradleys. We have a bunch of OEM units out in the big wide world, and from time to time we'd like to update the program with fixes etc. Obviously it's a schlepp for us and the client to come out and do every single unit, particularly across continents! What I'd like is a 'download only' license-free utility that we can supply clients with, and then let them download updates from our website, or get by email etc and 'patch' the PLCs themselves. Anyone seen something like this out there? Thanks Edited by CJH

One option would be to burn an EEPROM or Flash card with the "update" and snail mail them. Not as good as a web service, but can be done remotely.

Check out the folks at Automated Solutions. I've used their OCX's and if anbody makes what you describe they either do or know who does.
