6.6.1 Creating a Connection

Before a program and parameters are downloaded to a PLC or monitored online, ISPSoft must be connected
to the PLC. In this example, ISPSoft is connected to the CPU module AHCPU530-EN through a USB cable.
Refer to section 6.6.2, if the connection to the CPU module has been established.
Those who have connected ISPSoft to a PLC successfully in accordance with the contents of section
2.4 in ISPSoft User Manual can skip this section.
(1) Install the modules on the main backplane in accordance with the hardware configuration in HWCONFIG.
Make sure that the wiring is correct, and then power the CPU module.
(2) Connect the CPU module to the computer through a USB cable. If the USB driver for the AH500 series
CPU module has been installed on the computer, Delta PLC will appear in the Device Manager Window,
and a port number will be assigned to Delta PLC. Please refer to appendix A for more information about
installing a USB driver.
(3) Make sure that COMMGR is started, and the icon representing COMMGR is displayed on the system
tray. If the icon representing COMMGR is not displayed on the system tray, users can start COMMGR by
clicking the shortcut on the Start menu (Start>Programs>Delta Industrial Automation> COMMGR).
(4) Double-click the icon representing COMMGR on the system tray to open the COMMGR window. Click
