The most simple idea would probably be to send this out of date control to the museum and buy a cheap, new brick PLC. Unless these controls were common in your area, the chances of finding software are limited. Some of the really old PLCs could only be programmed with a unique, to each manufacturer, OEM interface device.

Do you know if it is a Corely or Salem mill? Is this on a Resaw mill or a head rig.

Resaws don't normally have setworks. I'd bet a million dollars this is either a scragg mill of Frick.

I believe you would call this a head rig. I do not know the manufacture. The name on the hard drive cabinet is Computerized Setworks model saver II

We have one where I work. The cpu cards are in one cabinet they are the size of a legal pad note book. The operator has the setworks buttons in front of him. Then the monitor that displays shift tally and other info is located in a office away from the cab.


This system runs Three hydraulic servo valves and has a encoder to reference the carriage postion. Does this sound similar to your system

This one every thing is in the operators cab. The programing board set in front of the operator. Some of the buttons are setup , clear, stack, ,save the rest have numbers on them. One has Pri/Alt/ Then next to that a box with many toggle switches.

In our company, our Resaws and Head Rigs have setworks along with our Gang. Granted, two of the three aren't really necessary, but it seems like when Salem bid a project, every possible machine got computerized setworks.

I wonder if you could benefit from a QS module-based setup?
