I need to install PG2000 (MS DOS based B&R SW) to urgently help our costumer. I have DOS 7.1 installed on notebook, with 3 and 1/2 floppy drive and I have true RS232 COM port on it. So, thats all fine. I have got from company archive also PG2000 installation but not on floppies. My first problem …

Hello, basically you do not need any floppy disk. Simply unzip all to any folder on the harddrive and run the installer. I can share PG2000 latest version if you need it but this is also an almost 25 year old version as there is no newer one

Hello Oliver! Thanks for reply. I have version 2.44. Does exist any newer? During weekend I succeeded to install it and it is working. But it seems the version we have is not the last as I cant’t open the costumer archived application (offline). For test I made one new and compare the contents. Ther…

As far as I know 2.44 was the latest version and there is no newer one which I could share with you. “Not enough memory” could also arise if the available DOS memory is too low - back in this days there were a lot of tricks to free up memory (by not loading certain drivers or usage of “loadhigh” co…

Are you sure the C200 is programmed as a PLC? The C200 controller can be connected to a display and key-blocks and was programmed with PKS 2.5 (Panelware Configuration Software). But the C200 controller could also be programmed as a PLC.

Hi, in addition to what Oliver already mentioned: [image] Oliver D: “Not enough memory” could also arise if the available DOS memory is too low - back in this days there were a lot of tricks to free up memory (by not loading certain drivers or usage of “loadhigh” commands,…) As I remember, …

Hi! This I don’t know… Is it possible to check somehow from the application files? I’ve asked costumer but it seems it was PG2000. They gave me this SW (PG2000) and the application for PLC. They would like only to load that application to the C200 again.

That helps a lot! I refresh my memory with those DOS tricky settings. Thank you!

Hi Alexander! Can you help further? I have problems with download of app to the C200. On the C200 I put switch to the mode 7 as per manual. It means it goes into DIAG mode what should right mode for program transfer. I start the download and receive message "Version number of the configuration modu…

Hi, I’m really sorry, but I’ve never worked with PG2000 in terms of PLC programming - I only was the guy who looked into the DOS topics :wink: I hope that someone else can help! Best regards!

I am ashamed to admit, but I was under impression that PG2000 is for Minicontrol? Thats what I get when spending late night googling stuff. Is the ProSys available? Back in 2010, I first saw the Minicontrol PLC, and after quick google search I understood that theres no uploading software from PLC…

Hello @Ozy_P ProSys is for Mini and Multicontrol PLC series (the so called “black series”) PG2000 is for 2003, 2005 and 2010 PLC series (the “blue series”) So google seems to be incorrect here :frowning: ProSys would be availabe if you would need it. Just send me a private message and I will sen…
