How to Update Your DirectSOFT Programming Software

You will need DirectSOFT 5 Version 5.0 (or later) to use all features of the D0–01MC. If you
have a licensed copy of DirectSOFT, contact AutomationDirect about a software upgrade to
DirectSOFT 5 (PC-DSOFT5).
Your DL05 must have Version 5.10, or later, firmware to operate correctly with all features of
the D0–01MC. To determine your firmware revision level, connect to the DL05 with
DirectSOFT 5 programming software, and click on PLC > Diagnostics > System
Information. This will bring up the System Information screen.
The "CPU Version:" will tell you what firmware revision level is installed in your PLC.

How to Update Your DL05 Firmware

If your DL05 requires new firmware, you may download the latest firmware and upgrade tool
from our website. Point your browser to www.automationdirect.com, and click on Technical
