[Battery died, parameters lost - how to recover?]

The machine is very simple, it rewinds plastic films.

It has one electric motor, one pressure sensor, one speed sensor and one friction break.

On the screen you can set up only the desired speed and film tension.

The machine automatically accelerate to the speed and keeps the right tension. 

I assume, the parameters lost are some calculations that re-calculate signal from the sensors and tells the break how much to break and the motor how fast to go... Because the other buttons like light ON/OFF do work. 

Thank you

I didn't know that.

This means I need also some txt or bop file with the parameters.

If I get that file as well, what does it take then to make the machine running again?

Is it possible remotely?

thank you

Dear Flex and Gabriel,

If we get the VLP file without password - how much work is it to upload it to the PLC? How long does it usually take?

Are you able to do it remotely? if yes, can you offer a price?

Thank you.

Dear Ausman,

can you confirm, that when the battery dies, the variable parameters got lost? - does this happen every time?

How should be the battery changed?

Is there any other way, how the parameters can get lost from the machine besides the battery?

Thank you very much.

You are likely in big trouble. I'm assuming from what you are saying that with a new battery the 1210 is running it's program, but variable parameters crucial to operations, that you can't enter/edit via screens have been lost.

My first suggestion would be to search across all computers in your organisation to see if you have a *.vlp file anywhere.  This is the program in the 1210 and may  have been originally supplied to you, but I doubt it.  Also, is there an SD card in the 1210?  If so, what files are on it?

Can't even find any old employees of the company who would know?  Other firms in your line of business using the same machine might know?

the *.vlp file is in the controller only. Without the password, we are not able to do anything with it. Without the variable parameters set right the machine don't work. There is no SD card in the controller. The manufacturer of the machine was from different country, and didn't supply any backup with the machine. We are not able to contact them anymore.

in our machine we have V1210 PLC.

Probably because of the battery died, the parameters from the program got lost.

The company that manufactured the machine is not working anymore.

If we tried to get the program, it asked for password. We don't know the password.

How do we get the parameters back up to make the machine running again?

Thank you.
