Hello, We currently have an aging KUHNKE PLC (PCI) system (please see the attached document) and we are contemplating an upgrade. Before we proceed, we need more information about this system, such as the specific engineering software it uses. This system has been in operation for over 20 years, and unfortunately, there is no available data on it. Despite our efforts to search online for answers, we have come up empty-handed. If you have any useful information or documentation to share, it would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, the PC operating system is running on a QNX loader.
It has been quite some time, but I believe those markings belong to an ISA slot, not PCI. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide further assistance.
Thank you for your help. Through my research, I discovered that the engineering software is known as KUBES and is specifically designed to operate on Windows. My main concern lies in understanding how the runtime effectively communicates with the PLC card. This is particularly important as the runtime operates on the same PC, specifically on QNX. Have you had experience dealing with a similar setup? Once again, thank you for your assistance.
Multivac form fill and seal machines once heavily relied on burning programs into an Eprom for non-editable functionality. It's important to thoroughly understand the process, document I/Os and parameters, before attempting any dismantling. This ensures a smooth operation and prevents potential errors.
Yes, the program is indeed written onto an EPROM. I am currently puzzled by how the runtime system on the QNX operating system communicates with the PLC, as the PLC software (KUBES) is designed for Windows. I am unsure if there is a compatible driver for the PLC on the QNX OS. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
