Mitsubishi PLC

Mitsubishi PLC

Mitsubishi PLC

(OP)
I am a 15 year "veteran" of PLC programming.  I started with the Texas Instruments brand of PLC's (before SIEMENS bought them).  I have extensive experience with AB SLC's and PLC 5's.
Recently, I accepted a position of Electronic Systems Analyst for a refrigerator manufacturing company.  I am the only PLC programmer in the building.  When I looked through the control panels and found OMRON and MELSEC PLC's, I started to wonder if I had bitten off more than I could chew.  To compound my problems, most of the programs were developed in languages other than English.  I have programs with Japanese, German and Italian documentation, and of course, I know only English.  Also, most of the programs are stored on 3 1/2 floppies with NO documentation!  If anyone knows how I can acquire a programming manual for a Mitsubishi "A" series PLC, it would be the first step in trying to figure out how those "foreigners" are making these machines run.  Thanks, in advance!
