Hi All,
Someone at work has put a PLC system on my desk, that's just been taken off an idle production line.
He said "It's an S7 PLC. We don't have the code backed up anywhere...Can you make a backup in case the PLC gets damaged or whatever?"
I told him "Err, I've not done that before, but I'm guessing it's possible."
I opened the lid and it's the same as what I've worked on before - an S7-1200 series PLC.
If I connect it to my laptop that's got TIA PORTAL (mine is v18) on it, is it possible to read the program on the PLC and create a project from it?
Thanks
