Step 5: Switch on the System Power
Apply power to the system and ensure the PWR indicator on the DL06 is on. If not, remove
power from the system and check all wiring and refer to the troubleshooting section in
Chapter 9 for assistance.
Step 6: Initialize Scratchpad Memory
It’s a good precaution to always clear the system memory (scratchpad memory) on a new
DL06. There are two ways to clear the system memory:
• In
Direct
SOFT, select the PLC menu, then Setup and Initialize Scratch Pad. Initializing Scratch
Pad will return secondary comm port settings and retentive range settings to default. If you have
made any changes to these, you will need to note these changes and re-enter them after initializing
Scratchpad.
• For the Handheld Programmer, use the AUX key and execute AUX 54.
See the Handheld Programmer Manual for additional information.
Step 7: Enter a Ladder Program
At this point,
Direct
SOFT programmers need to refer to Chapter 2 (Quick Start) in the
Direct
SOFT Programming Software Manual. There you will learn how to establish a
communications link with the DL06 PLC, change CPU modes to Run or Program, and
enter a program.
If you are learning how to program with the Handheld Programmer, make sure the CPU
is in Program Mode (the RUN LED on the front of the DL06 should be off). If the RUN
LED is on, use the MODE key on the Handheld PRogrammer to put the PLC in Program
Mode, then switch to TERM.
Enter the following keystrokes on the Handheld Programmer.
After entering the simple example program, put the PLC in Run mode by using the Mode
key on the Handheld Programmer.
The RUN indicator on the PLC will illuminate, indicating the CPU has entered the Run
mode. If not, repeat this step, ensuring the program is entered properly or refer to the
troubleshooting guide in chapter 9.
After the CPU enters the run mode, the output status indicator for Y0 should follow the
switch status on input channel X0. When the switch is on, the output will be on.
