Any suggestions for newbie slc 100 programmer
(OP)
Hi all I am looking for software to program an old slc 100. Yes it is a little outdated but cost is an issue and i have this slc 100 #1745-lp101.I am looking to programm it with a couple inputs 10 (ac) and a couple outputs 4 (ac). It is capable as the model diagrams shows. I have never programmed a plc but i have many years of experience with looking at programming and diagnosing problems. I have no problems with ladder logic. Well with all that said anyone with suggestions?
I was also considering the plc direct DL06 with operator interface.Is this a good start for a new programmer?
Thanks,Joe

i am not sure if you can still get the stand-alone software of the SLC100/150 from Allen Bradley but i agree with you that this PLC is a good starter to write a program....
one suggestion is if you can get the allen-bradley PLC called "PICO" ...you don't need a software to write the program...there is a built in keypad and screen ...and you can have a good practice in PLC programming...ladder logics..it will take a while before you get used to it...but once you are familiar.. for sure your gonna have fun..
i think it is less than US$200....but a least you can survive without the software..

even with the software you will still need the slc100/150 keypad....or the plc to computer interface...
do you have those?

families. If you find old AB software, you will wind up giving too much for it and will not be advantaged very much.
Don't get started with AB, you seem like someone with a lot of potential.
