Hi guys.
I've been given one of these and I don't know what it is. It has a ton of stuff with it, an LCD remote unit, a ROM expansion in a box, cables, and it's all in a brief case thing with lots of paper work and instructions. Alan Alan |

Re: Toshiba EX20 PLC.
Hi,
A programmable logic controller. A digital computer used for automation of processes driven by the inputs. If you google it, would seem that several people would be interested in the instructions.... Rob |

Re: Toshiba EX20 PLC.
PLCs can be fun things to play around with. Have one buried under the bed here that I keep meaning to do something with. The programming language behind it really isn't hard to get your head around either. We had a class on them at college which was really interesting. Have quite a bit of documentation from the one I have rattling around somewhere which I could probably scan if that would be useful. Think there was an intro to programming in there too.

Re: Toshiba EX20 PLC.
The EX20 was also sold under the Cutler-Hammer brand. Toshiba never really took off in the UK on machinery, although the local washing-up liquid factory runs its polythene shrink-wrappers off EX20's.
