Hello gagul,
the timestamp indicates, that your were on night shift this morning :-)
In the past we had serveral projects with WF470 on older sinumerik controls.
The complete project was stored finally on EPROM-Modules.
Is there any reason for using RAM modules?
Do you have any floppy whith the files B001..B014....?

It´s a long time ago, but I think, we have some older PG´s with software available. Unfortunately we remove our last machine with WF470 2 years ago...
let me know, if I can help you.
regards from germany

Thank you all for reply, yes I have that floppy and you can see its contents on the screen upon reading it with KA470 IMG_20171012_204434.jpg
We have PG685, but no software, and it has 5 inch floppy...
Reason for RAM? I don't know, machine works with RAM for the last 27 years, and in five S5 units as well... not the best idea

Hi Gagul,
this morning I checked our old PG's.
We have 2 PG750 with empty CMOS-Battery :-)
After correcting the CMOS-settings both PG powered up correct.
One PG with MS-DOS has a dual floppy device. It should be possible to copy data from 3.5 floppy to a formatted 5.25 floppy by means of pcopy.exe.
The second PG has no 3.5 floppy but WF470-software version 5.0 running on it.
Unfortunately I cannot find any old 5.25 floppy to check the functions.
If you have 5.25 floppies available, I can try to copy the files from your backup to these floppies without warranty :-)).
Let me know, if this wolud be a solution for you.

regards
Burkhard
 
Could it be possible, that the the file is crypted?
the page of the link indicates, that the key is invalid and is asking for a new code for decrypting.

thanks it works.
In the mean time I´ve got some old 5.25 floppies.
Tomorrow I will try to copy your data on that floppies.

see you

hello gagul,
sorry for my late reply....In the last two days I tried to copy your data on a 5.25 floppy.
This causes serveral problems.
Finally I found out that the 5.25 drive of our dual floppy at pg 750 is damaged . Only the 3.5 floppy is working.
The 5.25 floppy of the second PG 750 works and only of of 4 floppies was not damaged :-)
now my problem is to transfer the data from one PG to the other.
Additionally I am busy with my regular job, so I only can look at these things only aprrox 1 hour a day.
So in the next days I´ll try to mount the working drive at the other PG, but this takes time. Hope that you have some time.
When I was looking at the whole thread I saw that you used the the PG7xx cable at a PG685. This could not work because
the pinout of the com ports on both PG are different.
The cable is for transferring 20 mA signals.
For my understanding, at which computer you have KA470 running under dos ?
Do you have MS-DOS running at PG685?
Does this computer have a working com1 port with 25 or 9 pin plug?
Maybe the easiest way is to buy a 20mA converter for the com1 of your PC.
We used these converters in the past for coupling s5-PLC´s with PC´s .
I´ll continue trying to create a 5.25 floppy running under CP/M with your files, but this will take some
more time than I expect.

regards
Burkhard
 
Hello Burkhard

Thank you for your efforts and sorry for my late reply, I wasn't received email notification for your post. Now to answer to your questions.
I did not used PG7xx cable at PG685
I used it on Siemens PC Box680(620) that is equipped with 25 pin AG port that has the same pinout as PG7xx (acive tty enabled in bios works). On the same PC I installed 6.22 MS-DOS and run KA470 from it. I did that because I thought KA470 needs exclusively that kind of environment. Before that, I used normal IBM laptop with 9 pin COM port, MS-DOS and 20mA converter that was used several times for communication with S5 plc's. Both configurations (PC Box and laptop) failed to communicate to wf470 and that has to be because of old firmware on it (v3.0).
I think there is no DOS on PG685, only CP/M.

Regards.
 
Hello gagul,

Is there any possibility for you, to share ka470.exe and associated files?
I tried to buy software from a Siemens seller, but it is no longer available.


PS. I use PG720 with Win98 and if I have problems with a floppy drive, then I use HyperTerminal with serial communication RS232 to send, or receive files to another computer. This works quite well, if the baudrate is <9600bps.

Regards

Hello Gagul,
it me again after several months:smile:
SO finally I had no success in Copying the files to a 5.25 floppy on CP/M wit htwo PG750.
One with a dual disk floppy could not read the 3.5 floppy and also couldn´t read/write floppies from the other pg, wher wf470 runs.
The desktop PC can run KA470 and WF470 under dos, but it has not 5.25 floppy.
I have extracted the files from the desktop and will send it to Graffi, because he needs the KA470 files. Maybe he has the equippment to support you, if your problem still exists.
sorry, that I have no better infos for you.
Please inform me, if your problem still exists.

regards
Burkhard
 
required data

Hello graffi, hello gagul,
due to the fact that gmail won´t accept my data files, I hope, that this way is okay.
Attached you find the files.
@graffi: If you are able to burn eproms from the files, maybe you can help gagul.
