OLD Mitsubishi A0J2

[Dariusch]

I have a problem with an A0J2-PLC.
I was called out to a customer who has a machine with an A0J2-PLC.
First there was no power to the PLC, I turned the power on, but then the "RUN"-led flashes slowley.
I tryed reset but it did not help.
The I tryed to communicate trouht GX-Developer, but could not because it dosent support the OLD PLC. Then I tryed with Medoc 2.3, but I did not get any response from the PLC.
My conclusion is:

1) The CPU is dead
or
2) I can not communicate with my laptop running Win XP.

Please can some one help me on this one!?!?
If You also thin the CPU is dead, maby you could tell me where to get this old CPU.
My lokal mitsubishi reseller can not help me. (tells me that I have to replace with new).

Thank you

Dariusch

Not to be negative but this would be a good opportunity to upgrade your customer to a newer platform. If the IO count is small enough one of the newer Micro's from Siemens or A-B (as well as others) would be a good choice.

You need a pc running 98 or lower they had trouble with medoc running in 2000 or xp also a pcx kit would probably help you out. Although if you decide to change that plc out to a newer model I would appreciate it if you would get in touch with me I would like to talk about purchasing it for spare parts.
