To upload a program for the Inovance AM600 Series PLC:
1. Connect the PC to the AM600 PLC using either a LAN cable (for network connection) or a Mini USB cable (for direct connection). 2. Ensure InoProShop software is installed on the PC. If installing for the first time, ensure over 5 GB of free space. For upgrades, back up files, uninstall the old version, restart the PC, and install the new version. 3. Locate and run the InoProShop installer (InoProShop V*.*.*.*.exe) to install the software. 4. Use InoProShop to upload the program to the AM600 PLC via the established connection.
This process allows programming from a remote PC or directly via USB.

Introduction CAUTION ◆ An emergency stop circuit, protection circuit, forward/reverse operation interlocked circuit, and upper position limit and lower position limit interlocked circuit must be set in the external circuits of the PLC to prevent damage to the machine. ◆ To ensure safe operation, design external protection circuits and safety mechanisms for output signals that may cause critical accidents.
Page 11
Introduction Wiring CAUTION ◆ Prevent metal filings and wire ends from dropping into ventilation holes of the PLC during screw hole processing. Failure to comply may result in fire, fault, and malfunction. ◆ The external wiring specifications and installation mode must comply with local regulations. For details, see the wiring section in this manual.

Introduction ■ Overview The AM600 is a modularized medium-sized PLC. Each rack can contain 16 local expansion modules and support remote rack expansion through industrial fieldbuses such as Profibus-DP, EtherCAT, and CANopen. I/O expansion for the AM600 local expansion modules, including the digital input/output modules, analog input/output modules, temperature module, and remote function modules, is based on the internal bus protocol.
Introduction Guide rail: The AM600 series use a modularized structure. The power module, CPU module, and expansion modules must be installed on the guide rail and then fixed to the corresponding plane. Note: Use the standard DIN35 guide rail and ensure that it is not deformed or painted with isolating vanish and that its electrical conductivity is excellent.

Introduction If you solder a PVC cable to the shield of the shielded cable and connect the front end of the cable to the ground, the high-frequency impedance increases, weakening the shield effect. Therefore, this method is not recommended. Figure 5-3 Shielded cable grounding requirement Analog signal cables must be connected to the ground at one end close to the module.
Introduction 5.1.3 Installing the RFI Filter for the Power Module When the AM600 series modules are used in environment with strong interference sources (for example, AC drive), you are advised to use an RFI filter to suppress noise. RFI filter must be installed as close as the AM600 power module as possible and mounted to the conductive backplate with screws to ensure properly grounding.
Introduction 5.2.3 Making Tubular-lug Cables The procedure for making a tubular cable is as follows: Peel off the insulation coating by 6 mm and pass the cable through a a cable marker sleeve. Insert the exposed end of the cable into the round hole of the lug and use the recommended crimping plier to crimp the hole.
Introduction 5.3.2 Wiring Precautions Ensure that the external power supply is switched off during installation and wiring to avoid electric shock and module damage. Use a thick cable (max. sectional area: 2 mm²) as the 110 V/220 VAC power cable, twist the cable at the terminal, and keep the power cable part connected to the terminal as short as possible to avoid short circuit when the screw is loose.

Introduction Note 1: For AM600-4TC, the L4+/L4-~L7+/L7- channels are reserved; Note 2: For AM600-8TC, the L7 sampling channel is used for compatibility which supports normal thermocouple sampling and external cold-side compensation. When the cold side of the thermocouple is far from the module, and the temperature difference is large, use the channel for external cold-side compensation if the requirement on temperature accuracy is high.

Program Upload procces
To upload a program for the Inovance AM600 Series PLC:
1. Connect the PC to the AM600 PLC using either a LAN cable (for network connection) or a Mini USB cable (for direct connection).
2. Ensure InoProShop software is installed on the PC. If installing for the first time, ensure over 5 GB of free space. For upgrades, back up files, uninstall the old version, restart the PC, and install the new version.
3. Locate and run the InoProShop installer (InoProShop V*.*.*.*.exe) to install the software.
4. Use InoProShop to upload the program to the AM600 PLC via the established connection.
This process allows programming from a remote PC or directly via USB.
