System Integration, Industrial Problem solving

Using DosBox and WinXP together to run Allen Bradley PCIS software, this is for communicating to an SLC100 or
150 and using an PCC cable.

There are several versions of this cable, the adapter is an RS232 to RS422 cable, make sure your cable has the
adapter on the end, otherwise you will have issues

You can get the cable from us if you don’t have one at www.plctrainer.net

Down load DOSBox and install it you can find it here, I am running .72 http://www.dosbox.com/

This is what your status screen should look like, note the Serial port is opened and at com1 (you must have a real
serial port on your PC)

Place your PCIS file on you root directory as you will need to access the exe from the PCIS program

Double click your short cut on your desktop if you installed one or open the program, at the Z prompt (Z:\>)

Type “mount c c:\YourDirectory (note mine is in a folder that I created called AB_PCIS)

Then type c:\ and hit enter, this will change your prompt to c:\

Type dir and hit enter, this will show you your files that you have in that folder and now this is considered your c:\
drive

I have another folder inside of that one so I must change directory again to access that one, I type cd pcis

This is for cd (change directory) and the folder pcis that is inside that directory

Now type PCIS and this will run that exe file PCIS
