Just acquired a couple GMT 286s and 396s with GMTsoft firmware, as soon as I receive them here in Brazil we will test them on some of the machines with the Enda programming. Assuming that it works as promised, this would fix things for a while, allowing us to use the machines with these PLCs and giving us time to think about the rewriting of the code to work with GMTsuite. I received a couple emails from people interested in this task, was it anyone of you fellow forum members? Wish you all a nice week! André

Hi weron, could you please point out which capacitor would that be, so we can arrange to test it here on our boards? Thank you in advance, André

Hi Hanifi, We will acquire one or two PLCs and ask for them to be shipped with the firmware for GMTSoft, so we can use the original Enda programming and test these two on the machines. However I would also like to hire someone to rewrite the GMTSoft code to GMTSuite, so we wouldn´t be depending on the firmware in the future since we will need to buy more PLCs for the other machines and to get rid of EndaSoft/GMTSoft. There´s also an issue where the old Enda PLCs just stop working after some time, as if the software running on the machine´s PC doesn´t "authorize" it anymore; reprogramming the PLCs sometimes makes them start working again, sometimes they just don´t work anymore; I couldn´t figure out if it´s something in the programming or some hardware error (but it happened randomly on all the old PLCs) and we need to understand this to make sure it won´t happen too on the GMT PLCs in the future. The PLC connects to the computer, gets recognized but the commands to activate the hydraulics on the machine stops working. Would you be able to do it? Thank you in advance

Hi everybody, I´m an architect here in Brazil working with a construction company developing light gauge steel buildings. We have 8 machines that have been without support from manufacturer for more than a decade, since the company shut down. They ran on Enda ELC-286R / 386R PLCs with EXM-88R extensions, but we only have one of those still working to this day so we need to solve this situation with some urgency. I have the original programming files from EndaSoft, and we are trying to replace them with GMT´s PLCs but I´ve been struggling with the programming. We acquired a GLC-396R and a GXM-88RA by suggestion from one of GMT´s sales representatives as being the more compatible option, but we can´t get it to communicate with GMTSoft, it seems as it has the firmware for using with GMTSuite. I would like to hire someone to help us do this replacement, writing the programming to this GMT PLC for testing at the industry and for replacing the PLCs from all the other machines, we can allow you a remote connection to work on the PLCs. There´s also some issues and improvements to the programming and to the software that runs on a PC connected to the PLC that I would like to discuss with someone experienced in working with these PLCs. We really need to fix this ASAP, so if someone is available to help, please don´t hesitate to get in touch. My contact info: André Tomasi | +5547992299429 WhatsApp | Telegram | andre@toma.si
