Connecting The Programming Devices; Cpu Setup Information - Automationdirect.com DL05 User Manual

Connecting the Programming Devices

If you're using a Personal Computer with the DirectSOFT 5 programming package, you
can connect the computer to either of the DL05's programming ports. For an engineering
office environment (typical during program development), this is the preferred method of
programming.
The Handheld programmer is connected to the CPU with a handheld programmer cable. This
device can be used for maintaining existing installations or making small program changes
whenever a PC is not available. The handheld programmer is shipped with a cable, which is
approximately 6.5 feet (200 cm) long.

CPU Setup Information

Even if you have years of experience using PLCs, there are a few things you need to do before
you can start entering programs. This section includes some basic things, such as changing the
CPU mode, but it also includes some things that you may never have to use. Here's a brief list
of the items that are discussed. Selecting and Changing the CPU Modes
• Using Auxiliary Functions
• Clearing the program (and other memory areas)
• How to initialize system memory
• Setting retentive memory ranges
The following paragraphs provide the setup information necessary to get the CPU ready for
programming. They include setup instructions for either type of programming device you
are using. The D2–HPP Handheld Programmer Manual provides the Handheld keystrokes
required to perform all of these operations. The DirectSOFT 5 Programming Software User
Manual provides a description of the menus and keystrokes required to perform the setup
procedures.
