Chapter 1: Getting StartedQuick StartThis example is not intended to tell you everything you need to know about programmingand starting-up a complex control system. It is only intended to give you an opportunity todemonstrate to yourself and others the basic steps necessary to power up the PLC andconfirm its operation. Please look for warnings and notes throughout this manual forimportant information you will not want to overlook.Step 1: Unpack the DL06 EquipmentUnpack the DL06 and gather the parts necessary to build this demonstration system. Therecommended components are: DL06 Micro PLC AC power cord or DC power supply Toggle switches (see Step 2 on next page).

Chapter 1: Getting StartedStep 2: Connect Switches to Input TerminalsTo proceed with this quick-start exercise or to follow other examples in this manual, you willneed to connect one or more input switches as shown below. If you have DC inputs on anAC-supply DL06, you can use the auxiliary 24VDC supply on the output terminal block orother external 12-24VDC power supply.

An alternative, if you need a compact portableprogramming device, is the Handheld Programmer (firmware version 2.20 or later). Bothdevices will connect to COM port 1 of the DL06 via the appropriate cable.0VLGY0Y2C1Y5Y7 Y10 Y12C3 Y15 Y17GAC(L) AC(N) 24V C0Y1Y3Y4Y6C2Y11 Y13 Y14 Y16 N.C.OUTPUT: 6-240VYX01250 - 60Hz3INPUT: 12 - 24V452.0A, 6 - 27V67102.0A1112PWR: 100-240V13141516PWRRUNCPUTX1RX1TX2RX250-60Hz 40VA1720D0-06DR21 22233 - 15mALOGICC006K oyoX1X0X3X2X4C1X6X5X7C2 X11 X13 X14 X16 C4 X21 X23 N.C.X15 X17 X20 X22 N.C.X10 X12 C3TERMPORT1PORT2RUN STOPUse cable part #D2–DSCBL(cable comes with HPP)0VLGY0Y2C1Y5Y7 Y10 Y12C3 Y15 Y17GY1Y3Y4Y6C2Y11 Y13 Y14 Y16 N.C.AC(L) AC(N) 24V C0OUTPUT: 6-240VYX01250 - 60Hz3INPUT: 12 - 24V452.0A, 6 - 27V67102.0A1112PWR: 100-240V13141516PWRRUNCPUTX1RX1TX2RX250-60Hz 40VA1720D0-06DR21 22233 - 15mALOGICC006K oyoX1X0X3X2X4C1X6X5X7C2 X11 X13 X14 X16 C4 X21 X23 N.C.X10 X12 C3X15 X17 X20 X22 N.C.TERMPORT1PORT2For replacementcable, use part #DV–1000CBLRUN STOPNote: The Handheld Programmer cannot create or access LCD, ASCII or MODBUS instructions.1–8DL06 Micro PLC User Manual; 1st Ed., Rev.

Chapter 1: Getting StartedStep 5: Switch on the System PowerApply power to the system and ensure the PWR indicator on the DL06 is on. If not, removepower from the system and check all wiring and refer to the troubleshooting section inChapter 9 for assistance.Step 6: Initialize Scratchpad MemoryIt’s a good precaution to always clear the system memory (scratchpad memory) on a newDL06. There are two ways to clear the system memory: In DirectSOFT32, select the PLC menu, then Setup, then Initialize Scratchpad. For additionalinformation, see the DirectSOFT32 Manual. Initializing Scratchpad will return secondary commport settings and retentive range settings to default. If you have made any changes to these you willneed 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 ProgramAt this point, DirectSOFT32 programmers need to refer to the Quick Start Tutorial in theDirectSOFT32 Manual. There you will learn how to establish a communications link withthe 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 inProgram Mode (the RUN LED on the front of the DL06 should be off ). If the RUN LED ison, 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.Equivalent DirectSOFT32 displayX0CLRCY0OUTE2NEXTClear the ProgramCLR4AUX ENTASTR0ENTENTENDAGXOUTSHFT0E4NTMR3Move to the firstaddress and enterX0 contactEnter output Y0ENTDCLRENTEnter the ENDstatementAfter entering the simple example program put the PLC in Run mode by using the Mode keyon the Handheld Programmer.The RUN indicator on the PLC will illuminate indicating the CPU has entered the Runmode. If not, repeat this step, ensuring the program is entered properly or refer to thetroubleshooting guide in chapter 9.After the CPU enters the run mode, the output status indicator for Y0 should follow theswitch status on input channel X0. When the switch is on, the output will be on.DL06 Micro PLC User Manual; 1st Ed., Rev. A, 10/021–9

Chapter 1: Getting StartedSteps to Designing a Successful SystemStep 1: Review the Installation GuidelinesAlways make safety the first priority in any systemdesign. Chapter 2 provides several guidelines thatwill help you design a safer, more reliable system.This chapter also includes wiring guidelines for thevarious versions of the DL06 PLC.Step 2: Understand the PLC Setup ProceduresThe PLC is the heart of your automation system.Make sure you take time to understand the variousfeatures and setup requirements.Step 3: Review the I/O Selection CriteriaThere are many considerations involved when youselect your I/O type and field devices. Take time tounderstand how the various types of sensors andloads can affect your choice of I/O type.

Chapter 1: Getting StartedStep 6: Review the Programming ConceptsThe DL06 PLC instruction set provides for three main approaches to solving the applicationprogram, depicted in the figure below. RLL diagram-style programming is the best tool for solving boolean logic and general CPUregister/accumulator manipulation. It includes dozens of instructions, which will also be needed toaugment drums and stages. The Timer/Event Drum Sequencer features up to 16 steps and offers both time and/or event-basedstep transitions. The DRUM instruction is best for a repetitive process based on a single series ofsteps. Stage programming (also called RLLPlus) is based on state-transition diagrams. Stages divide theladder program into sections which correspond to the states in a flow chart you draw for yourprocess.Standard RLL Programming(see Chapter 5)X0Timer/Event Drum Sequencer(see Chapter 6)Stage Programming(see Chapter OUTLOWERUPPush–DOWNAfter reviewing the programming concepts above, you’ll be equipped with a variety of tools towrite your application program.Step 7: Choose the InstructionsOnce you have installed the Micro PLC andunderstand the main programming concepts, youcan begin writing your application program. Atthat time you will begin to use one of the mostpowerful instruction sets available in a small PLC.TMRT1K30CNTCT3K10Step 8: Understand the Maintenance andTroubleshooting ProceduresSometimes equipment failures occur when we leastexpect it. Switches fail, loads short and need to bereplaced, etc. In most cases, the majority of thetroubleshooting and maintenance time is spenttrying to locate the problem. The DL06 MicroPLC has many built-in features such as error codesthat can help you quickly identify problems.DL06 Micro PLC User Manual; 1st Ed., Rev. A, 10/021–11
