sorry - but the free download version that Tom mentioned will NOT program your SLC-5/03 processor. one thing that you will need is software. there is a BIG difference between the two approaches. without the list, all we can do is offer GENERAL suggestions. Once we have that list, we can start making SPECIFIC instructions on how to plug things together. use complete catalog numbers and post the list on the forum so that we can all take a look at it. The next logical thing to do is make a complete inventory of ALL of the parts that you have available. You are a lucky guy - that is hundreds of dollars worth of neat toys!Īnd other than the innocent assumption that you’re a “guy” and not a “gal” he’s absolutely right. any help will be greatly appreciated and thank you in advace.!Īnd welcome to the forum. I want to be able to learn some things and experiment with them on what i have right now then learn some more and advance like that. can you please point me to a website or book or something that will get me started from the point where im at. i am familiar with ladder diagrams and as i was reading around i noticed they are the main type of diagram used when it comes to plcs. i don't know what software is used to program plcs or what kinda programs i would need. I have a omega humidity and temperature transmiter that i'm not even sure if it hooks up to a plc or not.i just found it around some of my dads plc things he has at home. I have a rs 232(com cable) and ethernet wires laying everywhere. right now i was able to get myself a SLC 5/03 and a panelview 550. not knowing what they do or what they are my dad has told me more about them since he works with them. Hey i'm 16 and i was taking a course in a classroom that has a whole bunch of plcs laying around and i've seen that they can some pretty cool things.
