Re: [Emc-users] Decompiling PLC file
No problem Dale. BTW, what is being controlled by the PLC now? John On 10 Mar 2008 at 6:02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John, I will make the list in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Re: [Emc-users] Decompiling PLC file
Dale, In most cases it is better just to write new ladder than to try and port from one system to another. I've been programming PLC's for longer than I can remember. I can assist if needed. Basicly you need three things: 1 List of inputs 2 List of outputs 3 List of what you want to happen when an input gets triggered. Start with a pseudo list of what happens kinda like this: When start is pressed (input 1) if is safety circuit is closed(input 2) if stop is not pressed(input 3) start motor (output 1) Big John T On 8 Mar 2008 at 22:44, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, Does anyone have the knowledge and/or software to decompile the PAL (Programmable Application Logic) files from an Allen Bradley 8400MP CNC control?

[Emc-users] Decompiling PLC file

Thank you Dale Ertley What kind of machine are you converting? If the mechanics are not that complicated, I wonder if you would be better off starting from scratch. Sometimes a machine will have a number of separate simple systems that only look complicated if viewed as a whole. To me, it sounds like decompiling ROMs is complicated from the start. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
