Hello everyone! I recently received a request for assistance at a customer's facility where they are using a programmable logic controller (PLC) BnR CP260 with PG2000 v2.36 software. They require some modifications and verification in the code, which led them to seek help from various service providers before turning to me. Although initially hesitant, I eventually agreed to assist them with their PLC and programming software needs. I am seeking guidance on the basics of this system, such as compiling, downloading, monitoring online data, and making code changes. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any assistance in understanding the code structure and making the necessary modifications. While I have extensive experience with SoMachine and TwinCat for many years, I find PG2000 to be less intuitive. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the comments and variable names in the code are in German. I would appreciate any help or advice in navigating this particular PLC and programming software. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
If you need assistance with the programming software PG2000 V2.36 or require a download link, I can help. Additionally, I am experienced in changing the communication mode for a PLC program using the PG2000 software from RS422 to RS485. Let me know how I can assist you further.
Hello Mina, I appreciate your response! I have successfully set up the programming software and established communication. However, the documentation provided with the software is somewhat unclear. I am seeking a method to compare with the online program and possibly upload it. I have managed to compare tasks individually and upload them, but I am unsure if I have done it correctly or if there is a more efficient way to accomplish this. Moreover, when it comes to transferring code to the PLC, I am unsure of the correct procedure. Do I need to transfer it task by task or can I compile the entire code and transfer it all at once? I apologize for the numerous inquiries, but this software is not very user-friendly and differs from other software programs.
Hello, I'm facing an issue with a CPU 2003 and I'm in need of the PG2000 software and documentation for transferring it to a new unit. Can anyone suggest where I can find the necessary programs and guides? Thank you in advance. - Alex

Hey there! I've had some experience with PG2000 and I agree, it can feel less intuitive compared to SoMachine or TwinCAT. The interface and coding structure are quite different. As far as compiling and downloading, it's generally in the tools menu; you should see a compile and build option. After successful compilation, you'll find an option to download the project in the same menu. For monitoring the data online, you can use the Debug mode. Now the hard part: understanding and modifying code. If you aren't familiar with the German language, I'd recommend using a translation tool. The code structure should become clearer once you can understand the variables and comments. Also, since this is BnR, I think it is based on structured text, which isn't all too different from other text based PLC programming languages, just follow the logic flow and it should make sense. Keep digging through the menu and help tabs, as PG2000 does have some good inbuilt help. Don't hesitate to ask more specific questions, happy to help where I can!
Hey there! It sounds like you're diving into a pretty interesting challenge with the BnR CP260 and PG2000. Since you have experience with SoMachine and TwinCat, you're already familiar with the fundamentals of PLC programming, which will definitely help. For PG2000, I’d recommend starting with the official documentation; it can give you insights into the interface and specific commands that may not be immediately apparent. Also, consider using translation tools for the German comments to get a better grasp of the code's intent. If you have a test environment, try experimenting with small changes to see how they affect the system—it's a great way to learn on-the-fly. Good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask more questions as you go along!
Hey there! It sounds like quite the challenge you're tackling, but your background with other systems like SoMachine and TwinCat should help you adapt more quickly than you might think. For PG2000, I recommend taking a look at the official documentation or any user forums specific to BnR products, as they can be incredibly helpful for understanding the unique aspects of their code structure. If the comments and variable names are in German, you might try using translation tools or reaching out to a colleague who speaks the language for a quick translation guide. Once you get a hang of the interface, you'll likely find some similarities with the other platforms. Good luck, and don't hesitate to share any specific issues you encounter along the way!
