Lighthouse PLCs, Inc. : Automation Forum
THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM IS: AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS. IF YOU ARE A PERSON INVOLVED IN SOME ASPECT OF AUTOMATION, HAVE AN APPLICATION YOU JUST CAN'T QUITE GET A HANDLE ON 
- HAVE A PRODUCT QUESTION - OR MAYBE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING (EVEN IF IT IS WITH US 
), IT IS POSSIBLE YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER HERE!!
OR, IF YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW THE ANSWER, OR EVEN THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER, THEN JUST POST IT! MAKE THAT REPLY!
YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT ON THE MARK, AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP SOMEBODY OUT!! 
AND, IT COULD BE YOU THAT NEEDS HELP NEXT TIME. AFTER ALL...(REALLY?).. ARE WE NOT ALL "CHILDREN" - AT VARIOUS POINTS ON THE LEARNING CURVE OF TECHNOLOGY" ??? (I know I've still got a lot to learn and I've been at it for... well since 1970!)
Hopefully the information presented here will help provide solutions to some of today's automation challenges. Some issues are probably old, some are probably new. Many are products of the economy, the resultant reduction in manpower, exacerbated by aging equipment crippled by decreases in maintenance budgets. The ULTIMATE goal here is that we all become more successful in our careers and chosen professions.
MAYBE THIS FORUM CAN HELP!!!
You know the rules - ADVERTISING IS NOT ALLOWED ! 
This area is for we, :
...the Fraternal Order of Propeller-Heads
You know the rest - no flaming 
, profanity, blatant advertising, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. If you are 5 years old, or feel like acting 5 years old, you really need to go outside and ride your bike - OH, and seek some professional therapy. Yea, that would be good, too!
OH! BTW, if you don't feel like providing your name/company, just put "Anonymous" / "Withheld"/ "Not On File" or Anything! I promise 
we won't tell !
Note: For best viewing..
We suggest switching to "Board Style" (below) rather than "Threaded Style" !
Your choice! 
Dear Misic Nadar,
The "short" answer, is ActSip-E.
However, Software is only 50% of the answer. The other half of the equation is hardware - that is to say, some hardward will be required to interface with your J-Series Processor.
You will notice on your CPJ base unit, there is a 16 pin connector intended to accept a ribbon cable connector. There are two devices which provide this interface. The first, "PIF-J" is rare. The second is "PGM-JR2", and is readily available. The PIF-J is a serial protocol interface (period), whereas the PGM-JR2 is actually a "Universal Programmer". It doubles as a hand-held programmer as well as a serial protocol interface. In addition, it can burn a EPROM, and even print directly to a Serial Printer; functions which helps offset its high price.
So, lets say you have a PGM-JR2. You will then need ActSip-E-C programming software. A cable is included in the kit to connect from the DB25 connector in the PGM-JR2 to your laptops COM port. The software itself is DOS based, but works in virtually all Windows© platforms.
ActSip-E programs in either Ladder Logic (LD) or Instruction Set (IS). You can create, upload, download, and document your project. There are three forms of on-line monitoring for troublshooting.
The J-Series was manufactured from 1984 to 1992 and other than the hand-held programmers, parts are no longer available. (Exception: There is also a manual available for this unit -Part number SI-E075P.)
As your CPJ is 16+ years old (at the newest), you are wise in getting your project documented. If it should fail, the project can be used (with slight modification) in the Micro-EH, which is the suggested replacement.
I hope this information helps. There is more information on ActSip on this website.
