[labnetwork] Oxford PC2000 software for ICP100

[Perry M.G.]

correction

ethernet drivers of later software is compiled against chipset.

Even though i think you will struggle. Please update on final solution for this. We have a couple of black B+R plcs here that we'd love to upgrade the PC hardware!


Comments on PC2000 stands though. Its not a one off software. Gas maps, pumping configs etc all differ from machine to machine.

hi kevins,

A word of warning. Dropping the drive in a new PC is likely not to work.

The arcnet drivers i believe are compiled against a specific intel chipset. If you dont have it in the PC it wont run.

Its either a job for OIPT, repair what you have or find identical PC and run restore with xp cd. Also to find someone with identical pc2000 software is unlikely.

Most softwares are custom to each machine. Please clone your drives in the future!


Still working on a better fix than this when i get some spare time...



regards


mike

Kevin,

Do you know what part of the computer "died"? If the hard drive is still functional (or if you have a backup image of it), you should be able to drop it into a new computer and run a repair using a WinXP CD to fix any hardware discrepancies. If the hard drive is shot, well, I'll have to look on Monday to see what model PLC our Oxford is running (and whether we have the software CD, or could provide you with an image of our hard drive).

Dear Colleagues,

Does anyone have a copy of an old version (Black PLC) of Oxford's PC2000 software?

Our WinXP machine running the PC2000 software died this week and we can not find the original disk. Our PC2000 software was controlling an Oxford ICP100 with a black PLC (that is the older PLC which is not upgradeable).

Any help here is most appreciated.

Regards,
Kevin
