DirectSOFT32 PLC Programming SoftwareDIRECTSOFT32 M-BRICKPC-PGM-205PC-PGM-305 --- --- --- --- --- 1 - 80 0 - 633 - 0405OverviewDirectSOFT32TM 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 DirectSOFT32and to download a demo version, pleasevisitourWebsiteatwww.automationdirect.com. You canalso view or download the Quick Startmanual.Which package isright for you?The programming software packagesshare 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-BRICKpackages to support any other product families.8–6SoftwareNumber 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 caninstall 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 andoff-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 mycustomer?No, except for a single backup copy, youcannot make, install, or distribute anyadditional copies. You can transfer theoriginal copy (original CD, any applicable 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 inexpensive 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.1 - 80 0 - 633 - 0405

DirectSOFT32 PLC Programming SoftwareDIRECTSOFT32 PROGRAMMING FOR PLCSPC system compatibilityFollowing are the minimum system requirements for running DirectSOFT32 on a PC: Pentium/Celeron CPU, 333 Mhz 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,LINUX or UNIX versions, or 16-bit versions available) 32 MB free RAM and 11 MB free hard disk space At least one unused serial communications port Color SVGA monitorS OFTWARENOTES:Laptops: DirectSOFT32 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 DirectLOGIC PLCs. If your laptop has a USB port, consider using our USB to serial adapter, USB-RS232 (minimum of DS3.0, build 80 required for support of USB & Windows XP). If your laptop has an Ethernet port andyou are considering a DL205 or DL405 PLC, consider using the H*-ECOM Ethernet Communications Module toconnect 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 asprogram editing changes, error conditions, etc.Connecting to DirectLOGIC PLCsDL06 CPUsTwo built-in portsMax. baud 38.4 KDL05 CPUsTwo built-in portsMax. baud 38.4 KDL205 CPUsDL105 CPUsOne built-in portFixed baud 9.6 KDL305 CPUsD3-330 requires D3-232-DCU; fixed baud 9.6 KTwo built-in ports D3-340/350; max. baud 38.4 KOne built-in port D2-230; fixed baud 9.6 KTwo built-in ports D2-240; max. baud 19.2 KTwo built-in ports D2-250(-1)/260 max. baud 38.4 KDL405 CPUsTwo built-in ports D4-430/440; max. baud 19.2 KFour built-in ports D4-450; max. baud 38.4 KOr use an ECOM module in the DL205 (except D2-230) or DL405local base to program over a high-speed Ethernet link.w w w. a u to m at i o n d i re c t . c o m / d i re c ts o f tSoftware8–9

DirectSOFT32 PLC Programming SoftwareDIRECTSOFT32 SITE AND OEM LICENSESite licensesPackage 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 mycustomer?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-siteusageYou 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.An 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.Order No.PC-5U --- PC-10U --- PC-25U --- PC-50U --- Note: It is not recommended that an OEM package be used for your development 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 production CD with the OEM password utilityand five complete sets of user documentation. 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 password 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.OEM licensepackagesEach OEM license provides supportfor a specific family of PLCs andcomes with five complete packages.OEM license part numbersWe offer several different packages designed for specific numbers of users. This allowsyou to purchase a license that closely matches your needs without paying a high price.Users5-user10-user25-user50-userEach package supports a single family ofPLCs. For example, if you purchase theDL205 OEM License package (PCD2OEM), you get support for theDL205 family of products only.
