DirectSOFT Programming Softwarefor all DirectLOGIC PLCsSeveral packages tosuit your needs — allat great pricesDirectSOFT (PC-PGMSW) is our full-featured 32-bit Windows-certified programming package that supports allfive DirectLOGIC families of PLCssimultaneously, including all DL05s,DL06s, DL105s, DL205 CPUs, DL305CPUs, DL405 CPUs, and all of theirKoyo cousins. The programming softwaresupports an incredible array of on-line/off-line programming and docu-mentation features. We also haveversions that support single families for alower cost.

Packages include:• PC-PGM-105 supports DL05 and

DL105 PLCs

• PC-PGM-BRICK supports DL05,DL06 and DL105 PLCs

• PC-PGM-205 supports all DL205CPUs

• PC-PGM-305 supports all DL305CPUs

• PC-PGMSW is the full programmingpackage for all DirectLOGIC PLCs

• PC-R40-U upgrade to Version 4

Technicians like itwhen you use ourprogramming anddocumentation tools A well-documented program can savethousands of dollars in downtime whensomething breaks, but not all packagesmake it easy to document the program.Use our grid-based documentationeditor to quickly and intuitively createrung comments, 16-character elementnicknames, 6 x 18-character elementdescriptions, and 16-character wiringlabels.

Program overEthernetOur Windows programming packagehas had several years of improvements,one of which is Ethernet support. Youcan program one or multipleDirectLOGIC PLCs from one locationover an Ethernet network. Just insert anEthernet card in your PC, and anECOM module in supported DL205and DL405 systems to monitor andprogram at warp speed! An Ethernetsetup wizard leads you through the stepsto make the connection to your PLCs.Another great feature at no extra charge!

OEM and sitelicensesWith DirectSOFT32 you can afford toship a legitimate Windows-based PLC programming package with everymachine you build! The DirectSOFT32OEM package includes one copy of thesoftware (for one family, for reproduc-tion) and five manuals. After that, addi-tional single copies of DirectSOFT32can be purchased. Site licenses are alsoavailable. Our 05/06/105 packages arepriced so low, we don’t offer OEM pack-ages for them.

What’s new in DirectSOFT32Version 4.0:

• Support for new DL06 and D2-260 CPUs

• ASCII in/out and MODBUS instructions for DL06 and D2-260 CPUs

• Support for new DL205 local I/O expansion system in D2-250-1 andD2-260 CPUs

• Support for new LCD instructions in the DL06 CPU

• Project backup feature and preferences with auto-backup settingsfor “file freshen” frequency.

• Import/export program (mnemonics and rung comments) allows forarchiving a program in a single file (txt or CSV) that does not need tobe in the form of a DirectSOFT32 file(s) format.

• Export to EZTouch/Text operator interface CSV import format (nick-name, type, PLC address) to use the same tags in our PLC programand operator interface configuration.

Upgrade your PC-PGMSW full DirectSOFT32 package toVersion 4.0 or higher. (Order part number PC-RXX-U,where XX is the new version number. If you own a single-familypackage, you must purchase a new one since we don’t offer upgradepackages for those.)

DirectSOFT32 makes relay ladderlogic easy to edit If you’re tired of cumbersome documentation editors, thenyou’ll love DirectSOFT32. Pop up the grid-based documenta-tion editor and start documenting your heart out. Otherfeatures include:

• Point and click or function key editing

• Write your program with nicknames instead of data points.

• I/O cross reference and element usage windows keep track ofaddresses used.

Stage programming keeps thesequence in orderRLLPLUS Stage programming can help break a control probleminto smaller pieces and provide benefits such as the following:

• Stages divide the ladder program into sections that correspond tothe states in a flowchart of your process.

• Stages help make large programs more manageable by giving themsome structure.

• Your stage program can have more than one “thread” of execution.For example, you can have an alarm reporting mini-stage program(or recipe handler, data acquisition, etc.) running in parallel withthe main logic. This makes stage programming very powerful,because most of the control functions in a system are very asyn-chronous.

OverviewDirectSOFT32TM Programming Softwaresingle-user licenses have been designed tomake PLC programming and machinemonitoring easier than ever before. The32-bit Windows-based package providessimple menu and icon choices thatoperate similarly to those found in moststandard Windows packages. WithDirectSOFT32 you can have the powerof Windows on the factory floor.

For more information on DirectSOFT32or to receive a demo version, pleasecontact your local affiliate.

Which package isright for you?The programming software packages

share the same general features, but thereare a couple of key differences:

PC-PGMSW programs all six CPU families(DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL305 andDL405). If you’re a system integrator or OEMwho uses one or more of our product lines,then this package is the right choice.

PC-PGM-105 programs the DL05 and DL105CPUs only .

PC-PGM-BRICK programs the DL05, DL06and DL105 CPUs only.

PC-PGM-205 programs the DL205 CPUsonly.

PC-PGM-305 programs the DL-305 CPUsonly.

Please note, you cannot upgrade the PC-PGM-305,PC-PGM-205, PC-PGM-105 or PC-PGM-BRICK packages to support any other product families.

Number of usersThe packages listed above are really“single-station” packages. That is, youcan legally install them on only onecomputer. However, if there is only oneperson who primarily uses the computer(over 80% of the time), then you can

install the software on a laptop, homeoffice, or any other single backupcomputer.

If you need more flexibility, or you needto install multiple copies in many areas,then check out our Site Licenses.

Laptop/portablecomputers and off-site usageMany of you may be using laptopcomputers for field service work. This isperfectly acceptable as long as it adheresto the guidelines described above.

Can I ship a copy to my customer?No, except for a single backup copy, youcannot make, install, or distribute anyadditional copies. You can transfer theoriginal copy (original CD, any appli-cable upgrades, and any documentation)with our written consent prior to thetransfer.

Of course, this means you cannot legallykeep a copy once you have transferredthe original. Some machine builders andOEMs are required to ship a copy of thePLC programming software with everymachine. If this describes your situation,then you’ll need our OEM license. TheOEM license allows you to ship an inex-pensive copy of the software with everymachine you sell.

Maintenance releasesYou can receive maintenance releases atno charge by downloading them fromour Web site. These often include someminor feature enhancements along withsoftware corrections.

Software upgradesPC-RXX-U Any release that contains major featureenhancements will be subject to thenormal upgrade charge in effect at thattime. The DirectSOFT32 upgrade partnumber is PC-RXX-U, where XX is thelatest release number.

Note: The upgrade will only update anypackages that are already installed onyour system.

New features for DirectSOFT32 release 4.0The most significant additions forversion 4.0 are support for the following:

• DL06 and DL260 CPUs

• DL205 Expansion I/O

• DL06 and DL260 ASCII instructions

• DL06 and DL260 MODBUS instructions

• DL06 LCD panel

• Project backup feature

Following are the minimum system requirements for running DirectSOFT32 on a PC:• Pentium/Celeron CPU, 333Mhz clock speed, CD-ROM for loading software

• Windows 98/2000/NT 4.0 or later, and all Windows XP versions (no DOS, OS/2, MacIntosh,LINUXor UNIX versions, or 16-bit versions available)

• 32MB free RAM and 11MB free hard disk space

• At least one unused serial communications port

• Color SVGA monitorNOTES:Laptops: DDiirreeccttSOFT32 is perfectly suitable for use with laptop computers as long as they meet the requirementsshown above. Most laptops can be ordered with a serial port as an option, which will allow a direct connection toour DDiirreeccttLOGIC PLCs. If your laptop has a USB port, consider contacting your laptop supplier for a port replicator, or Belkin Components at www.belkin.com for a USB to serial port converter. If your laptop has anEthernet port and you are considering a DL205 or DL405 PLC, consider using the H*-ECOM EthernetCommunications Module to connect your PC to the PLC. (The D2-230 does not support the ECOM).

Monitors: Any size monitor will work, however, larger monitors enhance the features of DirectSOFT32. Also, westrongly recommend a color monitor. DirectSOFT32 makes use of color to note certain conditions, such as program editing changes, error conditions, etc.

Connecting to DirectLOGIC PLCs

Or use an ECOM module in the DL205 (except D2-230) or DL405local base to program over a high-speed Ethernet link.

DIRECTSOFT32 FUNCTIONS


688 Software

Site licensesIn some larger installations (or in educa-tional institutions) there are occasionswhen you have several people who eachneed access to a copy of the program-ming software. A Site License package forDirectSOFT32 Programming Software isavailable for those who need to install thesoftware on multiple machinesthroughout a single location. The SiteLicense package programs allDirectLOGIC families of PLCs (andmany compatible PLCs).

Package contentsThe Site License package contains oneCD and one set of documentation. Youcan use this CD to install the software onthe maximum number of PCs includedin the site license. You can make copies ofthe documentation, or you can purchaseadditional copies.

Number of usersEach package is designed for a specificnumber of concurrent users. The licensedefines a ‘user’ as someone who uses thesoftware more than 20% of their normalworking hours. This means that eventhough you purchase a five-user license,you are actually allowed to have manyother people who occasionally use thesoftware. This is especially useful fortechnicians who only use the software fortroubleshooting or maintenance on arandom basis.

Can I ship a copy to my customer?No, the Site License is not intended toallow you to ship copies of the softwareto your customers. If you need to do this,check out our OEM Licenses.

Portable computers and off-site usageYou can install the software on laptopmachines for field work as long as theirpermanent residence remains at thelicensed site. It is perfectly acceptable toallow your engineers or technicians totake computers to job sites or remoteoffice for occasional use.

UpgradesMaintenance releases are provided at nocost by ordering them or downloadingthem from the Web. The maintenancereleases provide bug fixes, corrections,and any minor enhancements. Anyrelease that contains major featureenhancements or significant new PLCsupport will be subject to the normalupgrade charge in effect at that time. Forexample, if you purchased a five-userlicense and later you see an advertisementthat shows some exciting new features,rather than purchasing a new SiteLicense, you would simply purchase fiveupgrade packages.

OEM licensesAn OEM license program for theDirectSOFT32 Programming Software isalso available. This program is designedto allow you to ship an inexpensivelimited version of our powerful softwarewith every machine you build.

Tailored packagingEach package supports a single family ofPLCs. For example, if you purchase theDL205 OEM License package (PC-D2OEM), you get support for theDL205 family of products only The sameis true for PC-D3OEM (for DL305family) and PC-D4OEM (for DL405family).Note: It is not recommended that an OEM package be used for your devel-opment system due to the slightly reduced feature set and single familysupport. It is recommended that PC-PGMSW be purchased instead.

Package contentsThe OEM License package one produc-tion CD with the OEM password utilityand five complete sets of user documen-tation. The OEM is responsible forproducing diskettes for the end users.

Extra copiesOnce you have purchased the license,you can purchase extra copies at adiscount. Extra copies can be tailored tothe exact product you are using.

Password protectionWith the password utility in the OEMpackages, you can add your own pass-word to each package that you send out.You can even completely restrict programediting capacity if necessary.IMPORTANT! The OEM versions always allow the customer to at least viewthe program. The passwords only affect the ability to edit the program.These OEM packages are not a substitute for a CPU password, which isdesigned to minimize the risk of loss for proprietary program information.
