NAIS FP1 Programming: Get Battery and Cable Help for Windows XP Compatibility

Question:

I recently retrieved my NAIS FP1-C40 from storage, only to find that the battery is dead and the programming has been wiped. After reaching out to the OEM for assistance, all I received were 5 diskettes (3.5) and a vague "good luck" message. It is clear that I will need to invest in a new battery and programming cable, but I am unsure about the specific type of cable required. From my research on the Panasonic website, it seems that a 232-422 converter will be necessary to connect my laptop to the PLC. Additionally, there is mention of another cable for the "tool" port. I am currently using FPSoft V1.06B and am curious if this software is compatible with Windows XP. Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you have the option to utilize the XP operating system.

The provided link contains all the necessary software for your PLC needs. In addition to the software, you will require two cables - one being the AFP8550 RS422/232 adapter and the other connecting to the tool port as previously mentioned. While I attempted to create one myself, I ultimately had to order it. Currently, I am using FPWINGR V2.4 to communicate with an FP1-C40 without any issues. However, I am facing difficulties when trying to establish communication with an expansion unit FP1-E40. Despite various attempts at address allocation, I have been unable to find any relevant documentation on this matter. It appears that NAIS is similar to AB in providing excessive information but lacking in useful data. Please reach out if you require further assistance. On a side note, does anyone have knowledge on how to allocate addresses for E40?

Thank you for the responses! I successfully utilized a free downloader software for the PLC program without any issues. Now I need assistance with fixing the non-responsive HMI display. Appreciate all the feedback provided.
