MANUAL REVISIONS Please include the Manual Number and the Manual Issue, both shown below, when communicating with Technical Support regarding this publication. Title: DirectSOFT 5 Programming Software User Manual.

1. Configuring DirectLogic PLCs in DirectSoft Software

1. Launch DirectSOFT programming software.
2. Click the New Link icon to start the Link Wizard.
3. Select the COM port that is connected to the PLC, then click Next.
4. Select your PLC family type. For example, since I am using DirectLOGIC 205 DL-240CPU, therefore I choose 105/205/405 Family. If you are unsure, but know the communications protocol it uses, select **Not Sure** from the list.
5. Select the communication protocol and PLC address. In this example I am going to use K Sequence protocol and PLC address 1 since this is the only PLC I am using. Click Next to connect to the PLC.
6. DirectSOFT will attempt to establish communication and configure PLC settings appropriately.
7. After auto-configuration is completed, enter a name to the Link Name field, which can be any string. The Link Description field is optional. Write down the configuration settings for future references. Verify settings and click Finish after you are done, or you can go back and change any settings as necessary.
8. Now you should be able to see the new link on the Launch screen. Make sure the LED is green. If it is red, then there is a problem.
9. Double-click the new link to launch DirectSOFT programming window to create and/or monitor the Ladder Logic program stored in the PLC memory.
10. To view the Setup Secondary Communications Port configuration, selectPLC >> Setup >> Setup Sec. Comm Port.
To view I/O Configuration, select PLC >> Configure I/O.

2. Configuring DirectLogic PLCs in Lookout and Lookout Protocol Drivers

1. Close DirectSOFT and any other software currently communicating with the PLC, and start Lookout or Lookout Protocol Drivers.
2. Create a new object by selecting Object >> Create.
3. Select the DL205 or the DL405 object, depending on the type of your PLC.
4. Clone all settings from DirectSOFT. For more information about configuring the PLC using Lower port (n) protocol, refer to the KnowledgeBase entry regarding this matter.
By now, the PLC should have been configured in Lookout or Lookout Protocol Drivers and you should be able to access the PLC registers.
Both Lookout and Lookout Protocol Drivers are OPC Servers, therefore you can connect to both of them from any OPC Client, such as ServerExplorer and LabVIEW. For an example of using ServerExplorer and LabVIEW, refer to Connecting ServerExplorer to Lookout.
For more information about the DirectLogic object data members, refer to the Lookout Help.

DirectSOFT5 is the new and improved version of the Windows-based PLC programming package. With many new instructions, programming is now easier, quicker and more intuitive than ever. Improved viewing options and customizable tool bars make it easier to program and monitor your PLC system.
With DirectSOFT5, documentation can be exported for use in other applications. User Interface Themes allow operators to create a unique look and feel for the DirectSOFT5 programming environment. The dock-able window feature allows relocation of Cross Reference and Data views. The ability to auto-hide or even tear away views and place them outside the DirectSOFT5 work space .
The product offering has been simplified to a full support PC-DSOFT5 package that programs all of the DirectLOGIC PLCs, and the new PC-DS100 package, which is a full-featured FREE programming package with a 100 word limitation.
Main features:
- IBoxes 'fill-in-the-blank' instructions (for DL05, DL06, D2-250-1, D2-260 and D4-450 only)
- Tabbed views to optimize your viewing area.
- Fully customizable Tool Bars - dock-able, lock-able and group-able.
- Dock-able windows allow you to relocate Data View and Cross Reference views, auto-hide, or tear away and place them outside the DirectSOFT5 workspace - even on a second display! - for full ladder viewing optimization.
- User Interface Themes allow you to give DirectSOFT5 the same look and feel as your favorite Windows applications.
- 'Tip of the Day' is a good way to learn new features and short cuts.
- Export documentation for use in the new C-more panels.
