I'm looking to upgrade an old Simatic 535 PLC to a new S7 300 range PLC and I just have a few questions..
Firstly, is it possible to get online with Siemens S5 to the Simatic 535 in order to upload the code? I notice that it has what looks like a 15 pin RS232 port on the front and not TTY. Would I need a different lead to get online with it and if I had the right lead would S5 do it or would I need another software package.
The Simatic 535 has a Brodersen 2 line text display attached to it. It looks like this unit is just fired by 8 outputs in order to dictate which message it shows. Can anyone clarify / confirm this?
Many thanks
