Good day. I kindly ask for your assistance. I am new to working with B&R PLCs. In our factory, we have several B&R 2003 CP476 PLC units, and I would like to read the PLC program. However, I am not sure which version of Automation Studio is compatible with this model.
Could you please let me know:
Which version of Automation Studio I need to use?
Where I can download that specific version (a link would be greatly appreciated)?
Do I need a special cable for communication with the CP476 PLC?
If so, could you provide the part number or specifications of the required cable so I can purchase it?
Thank you very much for your support, and I look forward to your reply.
The CP476 can be programmed with PG2000 or a later AS-version.
It is probably only possible to upload binary compiled code from the CP476.
If you need the source code of the CP476, you should contact the machine builder.
I use Automation Studio 4.0 for reprogramming this series;
please note that com port setting must be equal to the settings on the cpu to have a succesfull connection, also lower baudrates are important.
USB TO serial connection cables will mostly work, but a real serial port on the computer is better
