Hello! I am working on a B&R CP476 PLC that i have never worked with before, and have no clue what software and hardware cables i need and should use to attempt to backup its program. I would like to update this PLC with something more dated but i dont have the software, is there a way someone can provide me with it and a manual that will guide me to successfully backup this PLC. Also if i am able to upload its program what are the next steps I can take to replace this PLC. Thanks! ---
