    This PLC is an old PLC. you can not use CoDeSys to program this PLC.
    I think you have to look about "Modsoft" from Schneider (who bought AEG Modicon in the 1990s).

    I see. I found some manuals on the internet and it seems that this PLC is manufactured in 1995.
    Ty for the info about ModSoft. I did some research, and found out that there is new and live software project called PLC WorkShop-32 For Modicon which is basically successor of the previously mentions program, and this one is running under Windows OS instead DOS.

    Behind this software is one company

    If you have some other advice shoot

    As Im using laptop for programming purpose, and the PLC is quite old and has RS232 port I used the USB to Serial adapter to connect them and then I got one hint that adapter can be source of problems too.

    What do you think is it worth trying to connect it with desktop PC and with direct serial cable?
    It will be quite a task as I need to find some PC 1st
