Modicon 984 Questions

Modicon 984 Questions

(OP)
Hey All,

Does Schneider Automation still support the 984 series platform of PLCs?  If so what is the programming interface that is used to access the processor and edit code?

Regards,

Rich....

RE: Modicon 984 Questions

Yes, it is still supported.
There are several programming packages offered:
ModSoft (Schneider's DOS-type software, kinda clunky
ProWORX NxT (third party)
FasTrak SoftWorks, Inc. (another third party package)

RE: Modicon 984 Questions

Yes, they do. Your best bet is to use the Proworx32 originally authored by Taylor Software. It is DOS based, but is very reliable, and one of the best 984 logic editors

RE: Modicon 984 Questions

Actually most of the new 984 processors are 1131 compliant and you are free to use all the amenities of Concept. You don't need to be constrained to ladder logic.

RE: Modicon 984 Questions

If your program is small, < 25 networks, then Proworx NXT can be used in demo mode for free.

Does anyone know if the same applies to Proworx32, and is it any better?

Can anyone tell me the cable connection for the TSX Compact 984-E258. This is 9 pin D at PC to RJ45 ethernet type plug on the PLC.
