DL205 System Components

1-4

The DL205 family is a versatile product line that provides a wide variety of features in an
extremely compact package. The CPUs are small, but offer many instructions normally only
found in larger, more expensive systems. The modular design also offers more flexibility in
the fast moving industry of control systems. The following is a summary of the major DL205
system components.

CPUs
This product line includes four feature-enhanced CPUs: the DL230, DL240, DL250–1 and
DL260. All CPUs include built-in communication ports. Each CPU offers a large amount
of program memory, a substantial instruction set and advanced diagnostics. The DL250–1
features drum timers, floating–point math, 4 built-in PID loops with automatic tuning and 2
bases of local expansion capability.
The DL260 features ASCII IN/OUT and extended MODBUS communications, table and
trigonometric instructions, 16 PID loops with autotuning and up to 4 bases of local expansion.
Details of these CPU features and more are covered in Chapter 3, CPU Specifications and
Operation.

Bases
Four base sizes are available: 3, 4, 6 and 9 slot. The DL205 PLCs use bases that can be expanded.
The part numbers for these bases end with –1. These bases have a connector for local expansion
located on the right end of the base. They can serve in local, local expansion and remote I/O
configurations. All bases include a built-in power supply. The bases with the –1 suffix can
replace existing bases without a suffix if expansion is required.

I/O Configuration
The DL230 and DL240 CPUs can support up to 256 local I/O points. The DL250–1 can
support up to 768 local I/O points with up to two expansion bases. The DL260 can support
up to 1280 local I/O points with up to four expansion bases. These points can be assigned
as input or output points. The DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 systems can also be expanded
by adding remote I/O points. The DL250–1 and DL260 provide a built–in master for
remote I/O networks. The I/O configurations are explained in Chapter 4, System Design and
Configuration. I/O Modules

I/O Modules
The DL205 has some of the most powerful modules in the industry. A complete range of
discrete modules which support 24 VDC, 110/220 VAC and up to 10A relay outputs
(subject to derating) are offered. The analog modules provide 12- and 16-bit resolution and
several selections of input and output signal ranges (including bipolar). Several specialty and
communications modules are also available.

Programming Methods
Two programming methods are available for the DL205 CPUs: Relay Ladder Logic (RLL)
and RLLPLUS (Stage Programming). Both the DirectSOFT5 programming package and the
handheld programmer support RLL and Stage.

DirectSOFT Programming for Windows
The DL205 can be programmed with one of the most advanced programming packages in the
industry ––DirectSOFT5. DirectSOFT5 is a Windows-based software package that supports
many Windows features you already know, such as cut and paste between applications, point
and click editing, viewing and editing multiple application programs at the same time, etc.
DirectSOFT5 universally supports the DirectLOGIC CPU families. This means you can use
the same DirectSOFT5 package to program DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205, DL305, DL405 or
any new CPUs we may add to our product line. A separate manual discusses the DirectSOFT5

If you have experience using PLCs, or want to set up a quick example, this section is what
you want to use. This example is not intended to explain everything needed to start up your
system. It is only intended to provide a general picture of what is needed to get your system
powered up.

Step 1: Unpack the DL205 Equipment
Unpack the DL205 equipment and verify you have the parts necessary to build this
demonstration system. The minimum parts needed are as follows:
• Base
• CPU
• A discrete input module such as a D2–16ND3–2 DC or a F2–08SIM input simulator module
• A discrete output module such as a D2–16TD1–2 DC
• *Power cord
• *Hook up wire
• *One or more toggle switches (if not using the input simulator module)
• *A screwdriver, blade or Phillips type
*These items are not supplied with your PLC.

You will need at least one of the following programming options:
•D
 irectSOFT5 Programming Software, DirectSOFT5 Manual, and a programming cable
(connects the CPU to a personal computer), or
• D2–HPP Handheld Programmer and the Handheld Programmer Manual.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Step 2: Install the CPU and I/O Modules
Insert the CPU and I/O into the base. The CPU must be inserted into the first slot of the
base (next to the power supply).
• Each unit has a plastic retaining clip at the top and
bottom. Slide the retainer clips to the out position
before installing the module.
• With the unit square to the base, slide it in using
the upper and lower guides.
• Gently push the unit back until it is firmly seated in Retaining Clips
CPU must reside in first slot!
the backplane.
• Secure the unit to the base by pushing in the retainer clips.

Placement of discrete, analog and relay modules is not critical and may go in any slot in any
base; however, for this example, install the output module in the slot next to the CPU and the
input module in the next slot. Limiting factors for other types of modules are discussed in
Chapter 4, System Design and Configuration. You must also make sure you do not exceed the
power budget for each base in your system configuration. Power budgeting is also discussed
in Chapter 4.

Step 3: Remove Terminal Strip Access
Cover
Remove the terminal strip cover. It is a small
strip of clear plastic that is located on the base

power supply.

Step 4: Add I/O Simulation
To finish this quick start exercise or study other examples in this manual, you will need to
install an input simulator module (or wire an input switch as shown below), and add an output
module. Using an input simulator is the quickest way to get physical inputs for checking out
the system or a new program. To monitor output status, any discrete output module will work.
Wire the switches or other field devices prior to applying power to the system to ensure a
point is not accidentally turned on during the wiring operation. This example uses DC input

and output modules. Wire the input module, X0, to the toggle switch and 24VDC auxiliary
power supply on the CPU terminal strip as shown. Chapter 2, Installation, Wiring, and
Specifications, provides a list of I/O wiring guidelines.

Step 6: Connect the Programmer
Either connect the programming cable connected to
a computer loaded with DirectSOFT Programming
Software or a D2-HPP Handheld Programmer
(comes with programming cable) to the top port of
the CPU.

Step 7: Switch On the System Power
Apply power to the system and ensure the PWR indicator on the CPU is on. If not, remove
power from the system, check all wiring and refer to the troubleshooting section in Chapter 9
for assistance.

Step 8: Enter the Program
Slide the switch on the CPU to the STOP position (250–1/260 only) and then back to the
TERM position. This puts the CPU in the program mode and allows access to the CPU
program. Edit a DirectSOFT program using the relay ladder diagram below and load it into
the PLC. If using an HPP, the PGM indicator should be illuminated on the HPP. Enter the
following keystrokes on the HPP:
NOTE: It is not necessary for you to configure the I/O for this system since the DL205 CPUs automatically
examine any installed modules and establish the correct configuration.

After entering the example program put the CPU in the RUN mode with DirectSOFT or after
entering the program using the HPP, slide the switch from the TERM position to the RUN
position and back to TERM. The RUN indicator on the CPU will come on indicating the
CPU has entered the run mode. If not, repeat Step 8 ensuring the program is entered properly
or refer to the troubleshooting guide in Chapter 9.
During Run mode operation, the output status indicator “0” on the output module should
reflect the switch status. When the switch is on, the output should be on.

The DL205 provides four main approaches to solving the application program, including the
PID loop task depicted in the next figure.
• RLL diagram style programming is the best tool for solving boolean logic and general CPU register/
accumulator manipulation. It includes dozens of instructions, which will augment drums, stages and
loops.
• The DL250-1 and DL260 have four timer/event drum types, each with up to 16 steps. They offer
both time and/or event-based step transitions. Drums are best for a repetitive process based on a
single series of steps.
• Stage programming, called RLLPLUS, is based on state-transition diagrams. Stages divide the ladder
program into sections which correspond to the states in a flow chart of your process.
• The DL260 PID loop operation uses set-up tables to configure 16 loops. The DL250-1 PID loop
operation uses setup to configure 4 loops. Features include: auto tuning, alarms, SP ramp/soak
generation and more.

Step 7: Choose the Instructions
Once you have installed the system and understand
the theory of operation, you can choose from one
of the most powerful instruction sets available.

Step 8: Understand the Maintenance and
Troubleshooting Procedures
Equipment failures can occur at any time.
Switches fail, batteries need to be replaced, etc. In
most cases, the majority of the troubleshooting
and maintenance time is spent trying to locate the
problem. The DL205 system has many built-in
features that help you quickly identify problems.

NOTE: Products with CE marks perform their required functions safely and adhere to relevant standards
as specified by CE directives, provided they are used according to their intended purpose and that the
instructions in this manual are adhered to. The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if this
equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual. A listing of our international affiliates is available
on our Web site: http://www.automationdirect.com
WARNING: Providing a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment is your responsibility
and should be your primary goal during system planning and installation. Automation systems can fail
and may result in situations that can cause serious injury to personnel and/or damage equipment. Do
not rely on the automation system alone to provide a safe operating environment. Sufficient emergency
circuits should be provided to stop either partially or totally the operation of the PLC or the controlled
machine or process. These circuits should be routed outside the PLC in the event of controller failure,
so that independent and rapid shutdown is available. Devices, such as “mushroom” switches or end of
travel limit switches, should operate motor starter, solenoids, or other devices without being processed
by the PLC. These emergency circuits should be designed using simple logic with a minimum number of
highly reliable electromechanical components. Every automation application is different, so there may
be special requirements for your particular application. Make sure to follow all national, state, and local
government requirements for the proper installation and use of your equipment.

Plan for Safety
The best way to provide a safe operating environment is to make personnel and equipment
safety part of the planning process. You should examine every aspect of the system to determine
which areas are critical to operator or machine safety.
If you are not familiar with PLC system installation practices, or your company does not
have established installation guidelines, you should obtain additional information from the
following sources.
• NEMA — The National Electrical Manufacturers Association, located in Washington, D.C.,
publishes many different documents that discuss standards for industrial control systems.
You can order these publications directly from NEMA. Some of these include:
ICS 1, General Standards for Industrial Control and Systems
ICS 3, Industrial Systems
ICS 6, Enclosures for Industrial Control Systems

• NEC — The National Electrical Code provides regulations concerning the installation and
use of various types of electrical equipment. Copies of the NEC Handbook can often be
obtained from your local electrical equipment distributor or your local library.
• Local and State Agencies — many local and state governments have additional requirements
above and beyond those described in the NEC Handbook. Check with your local Electrical
Inspector or Fire Marshall office for information.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 2: Installation, Wiring and Specifications

Three Levels of Protection
The publications mentioned provide many ideas and requirements for system safety. At a
minimum, you should follow these regulations. Also, you should use the following techniques,
which provide three levels of system control.
• Emergency stop switch for disconnecting system power
• Mechanical disconnect for output module power
• Orderly system shutdown sequence in the PLC control program

Emergency Stops
It is recommended that emergency stop circuits be incorporated into the system for every
machine controlled by a PLC. For maximum safety in a PLC system, these circuits must not
be wired into the controller, but should be hardwired external to the PLC. The emergency
stop switches should be easily accessed by the operator and are generally wired into a master
control relay (MCR) or a safety control relay (SCR) that will remove power from the PLC I/O
system in an emergency.
MCRs and SCRs provide a convenient means for removing power from the I/O system
during an emergency situation. By de-energizing an MCR (or SCR) coil, power to the input
(optional) and output devices is removed. This event occurs when any emergency stop switch
opens. However, the PLC continues to receive power and operate even though all its inputs
and outputs are disabled.
The MCR circuit could be extended by placing a PLC fault relay (closed during normal
PLC operation) in series with any other emergency stop conditions. This would cause
the MCR circuit to drop the PLC I/O power in case of a PLC failure (memory error, I/O
communications error, etc).

Emergency Power Disconnect
A properly rated emergency power disconnect should be used to power the PLC-controlled
system as a means of removing the power from the entire control system. It may be necessary
to install a capacitor across the disconnect to protect against a condition known as “outrush.”
This condition occurs when the output Triacs are turned off by powering off the disconnect,
thus causing the energy stored in the inductive loads to seek the shortest distance to ground,
which is often through the Triacs.
After an emergency shutdown or any other type of power interruption, there may be
requirements that must be met before the PLC control program can be restarted. For example,
there may be specific register values that must be established (or maintained from the state prior
to the shutdown) before operations can resume. In this case, you may want to use retentive
memory locations, or include constants in the control program to ensure a known starting
point.

Orderly System Shutdown
Ideally, the first level of fault detection is the PLC control
program, which can identify machine problems. Certain
shutdown sequences should be performed. The types of
problems are usually things such as jammed parts, etc., that
do not pose a risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING: The control program must not be the only form of
protection for any problems that may result in a risk of personal
injury or equipment damage.

Mounting Guidelines
Before installing the PLC system, you will need to know the dimensions of the components
considered. The diagrams on the following pages provide the component dimensions to use
in defining your enclosure specifications. Remember to leave room for potential expansion.
NOTE: If you are using other components in your system, refer to the appropriate manual to determine how
those units can affect mounting dimensions.

Base Dimensions
The following information shows the proper mounting dimensions. The height dimension is
the same for all bases. The depth varies depending on your choice of I/O module. The length
varies as the number of slots increase. Make sure you have followed the installation guidelines

5. T
 he ground terminal on the DL205 base must be connected to a single point ground. Use copper
stranded wire to achieve a low impedance. Copper eye lugs should be crimped and soldered to the
ends of the stranded wire to ensure good surface contact. Remove anodized finishes and use copper
lugs and star washers at termination points. A general rule is to achieve a 0.1 ohm of DC resistance
between the DL205 base and the single point ground.
6. T
 here must be a single point ground (i.e., copper bus bar) for all devices in the panel requiring an
earth ground return. The single point of ground must be connected to the panel ground termination.
The panel ground termination must be connected to earth ground. For this connection you should
use #12 AWG stranded copper wire at a minimum. Minimum wire sizes, color coding, and general
safety practices should comply with appropriate electrical codes and standards for your region. A
good common ground reference (Earth ground) is essential for proper operation of the DL205.
Methods of providing an adequate common ground reference include:
• Installing a ground rod as close to the panel as possible.
• Connection to incoming power system ground.
7. P
 roperly evaluate any installations where the ambient temperature may approach the lower or upper
limits of the specifications. Place a temperature probe in the panel, close the door and operate the
system until the ambient temperature has stabilized. If the ambient temperature is not within the
operating specification for the DL205 system, measures such as installing a cooling/heating source
must be taken to get the ambient temperature within the DL205 operating specifications.

 he DL205 system is designed to be powered by 110/220 VAC, 24VDC, or 125VDC normally
available throughout an industrial environment. Electrical power in some areas where the PLCs
are installed is not always stable and storms can cause power surges. Due to this, powerline filters
are recommended for protecting the DL205 PLCs from power surges and EMI/RFI noise. The
Automation Powerline Filter, for use with 120VAC and 240VAC, 1–5 Amps, is an excellent choice
(can be located at www.automationdirect.com); however, you can use a filter of your choice. These
units install easily between the power source and the PLC.

Enclosures
Your selection of a proper enclosure is important to ensure safe and proper operation of your
DL205 system. Applications of DL205 systems vary and may require additional features. The
minimum considerations for enclosures include:
• Conformance to electrical standards
• Protection from the elements in an industrial environment
• Common ground reference
• Maintenance of specified ambient temperature
• Access to equipment
• Security or restricted access
• Sufficient space for proper installation and maintenance of equipment

Choosing the Base Type
The DL205 system offers four different sizes of bases and three different power supply options.
The following diagram shows an example of a 6-slot base.
Your choice of base depends on three things:

Power Wiring
Connections

CPU Slot

I/O Slots

• Number of I/O modules required
• Input power requirement (AC or DC power)
• Available power budget

Mounting the Base
All I/O configurations of the DL205 may use any of the base configurations. The bases are
secured to the equipment panel or mounting location using four M4 screws in the corner tabs
of the base. The full mounting dimensions are given in the previous section on Mounting
Guidelines.

Mounting Tabs

WARNING: To minimize the risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or equipment damage, always
disconnect the system power before installing or removing any system component.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 2: Installation, Wiring and Specifications

Using Mounting Rails
The DL205 bases can also be secured to the cabinet using mounting rails. You should use rails
that conform to DIN EN standard 50 022. Refer to our catalog for a complete line of DINrail, DINnectors and DIN-rail mounted apparatus. These rails are approximately 35mm high,
with a depth of 7.5 mm. If you mount the base on a rail, you should also consider using end
brackets on each end of the rail. The end brackets help keep the base from sliding horizontally
along the rail. This helps minimize the possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose.
If you examine the bottom of the base, you’ll notice small retaining clips. To secure the base
to a DIN-rail, place the base onto the rail and gently push up on the retaining clips. The clips
lock the base onto the rail.
To remove the base, pull down on the retaining clips, lift up on the base slightly, and pull it
away from the rail.

I/O Wiring Strategies

2-14

The DL205 PLC system is very flexible and will work in many different wiring configurations.
By studying this section before actual installation, you can probably find the best wiring
strategy for your application. This will help to lower system cost, wiring errors, and avoid
safety problems.

PLC Isolation Boundaries
PLC circuitry is divided into three main regions separated by isolation boundaries, shown in
the drawing below. Electrical isolation provides safety, so that a fault in one area does not
damage another. A powerline filter will provide isolation between the power source and the
power supply. A transformer in the power supply provides magnetic isolation between the
primary and secondary sides. Opto-couplers provide optical isolation in Input and Output
circuits. This isolates logic circuitry from the field side, where factory machinery connects.
Note the discrete inputs are isolated from the discrete outputs, because each is isolated from the
logic side. Isolation boundaries protect the operator interface (and the operator) from power
input faults or field wiring faults. When wiring a PLC, it is extremely important to avoid
making external connections that connect logic side circuits to any other.

Powering I/O Circuits with the Auxiliary Supply
In some cases, using the built-in auxiliary +24VDC supply can result in a cost savings for your
control system. It can power combined loads up to 300mA. Be careful not to exceed the
current rating of the supply. If you are the system designer for your application, you may be
able to select and design in field devices which can use the +24VDC auxiliary supply.
All AC powered and 125VDC DL205 bases feature the internal auxiliary supply. If input
devices AND output loads need +24VDC power, the auxiliary supply may be able to power
both circuits as shown in the following diagram.

etc. For this application type, all input devices and output loads typically use the same DC
power source. Typical wiring for DC-powered applications is shown in the following diagram.

Powering I/O Circuits Using Separate Supplies
In most applications it will be necessary to power the input devices from one power source, and
to power output loads from another source. Loads often require high-energy AC power, while
input sensors use low-energy DC. If a machine operator is likely to come in close contact with
input wiring, then safety reasons also require isolation from high-energy output circuits. It is
most convenient if the loads can use the same power source as the PLC, and the input sensors
can use the auxiliary supply, as shown to the left in the figure below.
If the loads cannot be powered from the PLC supply, then a separate supply must be used as
shown to the right in the figure below.

Some applications will use the PLC external power source to also power the input circuit. This
typically occurs on DC-powered PLCs, as shown in the drawing below to the left. The inputs
share the PLC power source supply, while the outputs have their own separate supply. A worstcase scenario, from a cost and complexity viewpoint, is an application which requires separate
power sources for the PLC, input devices, and output loads. The example wiring diagram
below on the right shows how this can work, but also the auxiliary supply output is an unused
resource. You will want to avoid this situation if possible.

Sinking / Sourcing Concepts
Before going further in the study of wiring strategies, you must have a solid understanding of
“sinking” and “sourcing” concepts. Use of these terms occurs frequently in input or output
circuit discussions. It is the goal of this section to make these concepts easy to understand,
further ensuring your success in installation. First the following short definitions are provided,
followed by practical applications.
Sinking = provides a path to supply ground (–)
Sourcing = provides a path to supply source (+)
First you will notice these are only associated with DC circuits and not AC, because of the
reference to (+) and (–) polarities. Therefore, sinking and sourcing terminology only applies to
DC input and output circuits. Input and output points that are sinking only or sourcing only
can conduct current in only one direction. This means it is possible to connect the external
supply and field device to the I/O point with current trying to flow in the wrong direction, and
the circuit will not operate. However, you can successfully connect the supply and field device
every time by understanding “sourcing” and “sinking”.
For example, the figure to the right depicts a “sinking”
PLC
input. To properly connect the external supply, you
Input
will have to connect it so the input provides a path to
(sinking)
ground (–). Start at the PLC input terminal, follow +
Input
through the input sensing circuit, exit at the common
Sensing
terminal, and connect the supply (–) to the common –
Common
terminal. By adding the switch, between the supply (+)
and the input, the circuit has been completed . Current
flows in the direction of the arrow when the switch is
closed.
Apply the circuit principle above to the four possible
combinations of input/output sinking/sourcing types as shown below. The I/O module
specifications at the end of this chapter list the input or output type.

I/O “Common” Terminal Concepts
In order for a PLC I/O circuit to operate,
current must enter at one terminal and exit at
another. Therefore, at least two terminals are
associated with every I/O point. In the figure
to the right, the Input or Output terminal is
the main path for the current. One additional
terminal must provide the return path to the
power supply.

PLC

If there was unlimited space and budget for
I/O terminals, every I/O point could have two
dedicated terminals as the figure above shows.
However, providing this level of flexibility
is not practical or even necessary for most
applications. So, most Input or Output points
on PLCs are in groups which share the return
path (called commons). The figure to the right
shows a group (or bank) of four input points
which share a common return path. In this
way, the four inputs require only five terminals
instead of eight.

Common

NOTE: In the circuit above, the current in the common path is 4 times any channel’s input current when all
inputs are energized. This is especially important in output circuits, where heavier gauge wire is sometimes
necessary on commons.

Most DL205 input and output modules group their I/O
points into banks that share a common return path.
The best indication of I/O common grouping is on the
wiring label, such as the one shown to the right. There
are two circuit banks with eight input points in each. The
common terminal for each is labeled “CA” and “CB”,
respectively.
In the wiring label example, the positive terminal of a DC
supply connects to the common terminals. Some symbols
you will see on the wiring labels, and their meanings are:

Connecting DC I/O to “Solid State” Field Devices
In the previous section on Sourcing and Sinking concepts, the DC I/O circuits were explained
to sometimes only allow current to flow one way. This is also true for many of the field devices
which have solid-state (transistor) interfaces. In other words, field devices can also be sourcing
or sinking. When connecting two devices in a series DC circuit, one must be wired as sourcing and
the other as sinking.

Solid State Input Sensors
Several DL205 DC input modules are flexible because they detect current flow in either
direction, so they can be wired as either sourcing or sinking. In the following circuit, a field
device has an open-collector NPN transistor output. It sinks current from the PLC input
point, which sources current. The power supply can be the +24 auxiliary supply or another
supply (+12VDC or +24VDC), as long as the input specifications are met.

Solid State Output Loads
Sometimes an application requires connecting a PLC output point to a solid state input on a
device. This type of connection is usually made to carry a low-level control signal, not to send
DC power to an actuator.
Several of the DL205 DC output modules are the sinking type. This means that each DC
output provides a path to ground when it is energized. In the following circuit, the PLC output
point sinks current to the output common when energized. It is connected to a sourcing input
of a field device input.

In the next example a PLC sinking DC output point is connected to the sinking input of a field
device. This is a little tricky, because both the PLC output and field device input are sinking
type. Since the circuit must have one sourcing and one sinking device, a sourcing capability
needs to be added to the PLC output by using a pull-up resistor. In the circuit below, a Rpull-up
is connected from the output to the DC output circuit power input.

NOTE 1: DO NOT attempt to drive a heavy load (>25mA) with this pull-up method
NOTE 2: Using the pull-up resistor to implement a sourcing output has the effect of inverting the output
point logic. In other words, the field device input is energized when the PLC output is OFF, from a ladder
logic point of view. Your ladder program must comprehend this and generate an inverted output. Or, you
may choose to cancel the effect of the inversion elsewhere, such as in the field device.

It is important to choose the correct value of Rpull-up. In order to do so, you need to know the
nominal input current to the field device (Iinput) when the input is energized. If this value is
not known, it can be calculated as shown (a typical value is 15mA). Then use Iinput and the
voltage of the external supply to compute Rpull-up. Then calculate the power Ppull-up (in watts),
in order to size Rpull-up properly.

Of course, the easiest way to drive a sinking input field device as shown below is to use a

Relay Output Guidelines
Several output modules in the DL205 I/O family feature relay outputs: D2–04TRS, D2–08TR,
D2–12TR, D2–08CDR, F2–08TR and F2–08TRS. Relays are best for the following
applications:
• Loads that require higher currents than the solid-state outputs can deliver
• Cost-sensitive applications
• Some output channels need isolation from other outputs (such as when some loads require different
voltages than other loads)

Some applications in which NOT to use relays:
• Loads that require currents under 10 mA
• Loads which must be switched at high speed or heavy duty cycle
Relay with Form A contacts

Relay outputs in the DL205 output modules are available in two
contact arrangements, shown to the right. The Form A type, or
SPST (single pole, single throw) type is normally open and is the
simplest to use. The Form C type, or SPDT (single pole, double
throw) type has a center contact which moves and a stationary
contact on either side. This provides a normally closed contact
and a normally open contact.
Some relay output module’s relays share common terminals,
which connect to the wiper contact in each relay of the bank.
Other relay modules have relays which are completely isolated
from each other. In all cases, the module drives the relay coil
when the corresponding output point is on.

Relay Outputs – Transient Suppression for Inductive Loads in a Control System
The following pages are intended to give a quick overview of the negative effects of transient
voltages on a control system and provide some simple advice on how to effectively minimize
them. The need for transient suppression is often not apparent to the newcomers in the
automation world. Many mysterious errors that can afflict an installation can be traced back
to a lack of transient suppression.
What is a Transient Voltage and Why is it Bad?
Inductive loads (devices with a coil) generate transient voltages as they transition from being
energized to being de-energized. If not suppressed, the transient can be many times greater
than the voltage applied to the coil. These transient voltages can damage PLC outputs or other
electronic devices connected to the circuit, and cause unreliable operation of other electronics
in the general area. Transients must be managed with suppressors for long component life and
reliable operation of the control system.
This example shows a simple circuit with a small 24V/125mA/3W relay. As you can see, when
the switch is opened, thereby de-energizing the coil, the transient voltage generated across the
switch contacts peaks at 140V.

In the same circuit, replacing the relay with a larger 24V/290mA/7W relay will generate a
transient voltage exceeding 800V (not shown). Transient voltages like this can cause many
problems, including:
• Relay contacts driving the coil may experience arcing, which can pit the contacts and reduce the
relay’s lifespan.
• Solid state (transistor) outputs driving the coil can be damaged if the transient voltage exceeds the
transistor’s ratings. In extreme cases, complete failure of the output can occur the very first time a
coil is de-energized.
• Input circuits, which might be connected to monitor the coil or the output driver, can also be
damaged by the transient voltage.

A very destructive side-effect of the arcing across relay contacts is the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) it can cause. This occurs because the arcing causes a current surge, which
releases RF energy. The entire length of wire between the relay contacts, the coil, and the
power source carries the current surge and becomes an antenna that radiates the RF energy. It
will readily couple into parallel wiring and may disrupt the PLC and other electronics in the
area. This EMI can make an otherwise stable control system behave unpredictably at times.
PLC’s Integrated Transient Suppressors
Although the PLC’s outputs typically have integrated suppressors to protect against transients,
they are not capable of handling them all. It is usually necessary to have some additional
transient suppression for an inductive load.
The next example uses the same 24V/125mA/3W relay used earlier. This example measures
the PNP transistor output of a D0-06DD2 PLC, which incorporates an integrated Zener diode
for transient suppression. Instead of the 140V peak in the first example, the transient voltage
here is limited to about 40V by the Zener diode. While the PLC will probably tolerate repeated
transients in this range for some time, the 40V is still beyond the module’s peak output voltage
rating of 30V.

The next example uses the same circuit as above, but with a larger 24V/290mA/7W relay,
thereby creating a larger inductive load. As you can see, the transient voltage generated is much
worse, peaking at over 50V. Driving an inductive load of this size without additional transient
suppression is very likely to permanently damage the PLC output.

Additional transient suppression should be used in both these examples. If you are unable
to measure the transients generated by the connected loads of your control system, using
additional transient suppression on all inductive loads would be the safest practice.

DC Coils:
The most effective protection against transients from a DC coil is a flyback diode. A flyback
diode can reduce the transient to roughly 1V over the supply voltage, as shown in this example.

Many AutomationDirect socketed relays and motor starters have add-on flyback diodes
that plug or screw into the base, such as the AD-ASMD-250 protection diode module and
784-4C-SKT-1 socket module shown below. If an add-on flyback diode is not available for
your inductive load, an easy way to add one is to use AutomationDirect’s DN-D10DR-A
diode terminal block, a 600VDC power diode mounted in a slim DIN rail housing.

Two more common options for DC coils are Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) or TVS diodes.
These devices should be connected across the driver (PLC output) for best protection as shown
below. The optimum voltage rating for the suppressor is the lowest rated voltage available that
will NOT conduct at the supply voltage, while allowing a safe margin.
AutomationDirect’s ZL-TSD8-24 transorb module is a good choice for 24VDC circuits. It is
a bank of 8 uni-directional 30V TVS diodes. Since they are uni-directional, be sure to observe
the polarity during installation. MOVs or bi-directional TVS diodes would install at the same
location, but have no polarity concerns.

AC Coils:
Two options for AC coils are MOVs or bi-directional TVS diodes. These devices are most
effective at protecting the driver from a transient voltage when connected across the driver
(PLC output) but are also commonly connected across the coil. The optimum voltage rating
for the suppressor is the lowest rated voltage available that will NOT conduct at the supply
voltage, while allowing a safe margin.
AutomationDirect’s ZL-TSD8-120 transorb module is a good choice for 120VAC circuits. It
is a bank of eight bi-directional 180V TVS diodes.
AC MOV or Bi-Directional Diode Circuit

VAC

NOTE: Manufacturers of devices with coils frequently offer MOV or TVS diode suppressors as an add-on
option which mount conveniently across the coil. Before using them, carefully check the suppressor’s
ratings. Just because the suppressor is made specifically for that part does not mean it will reduce the
transient voltages to an acceptable level.

For example, a MOV or TVS diode rated for use on 24-48 VDC coils would need to have a
high enough voltage rating to NOT conduct at 48V. That suppressor might typically start
conducting at roughly 60VDC. If it were mounted across a 24V coil, transients of roughly
84V (if sinking output) or -60V (if sourcing output) could reach the PLC output. Many
semiconductor PLC outputs cannot tolerate such levels.

Slot Numbering
The DL205 bases each provide different numbers of slots for use with the I/O modules. You
may notice the bases refer to 3-slot, 4-slot, etc. One of the slots is dedicated to the CPU, so
you always have one less I/O slot. For example, you have five I/O slots with a 6-slot base. The
I/O slots are numbered 0–4. The CPU slot always contains a PLC CPU or other CPU–slot
controller and is not numbered.

Special Placement Considerations for Analog Modules
In most cases, the analog modules can be placed in any slot. However, the placement can
also depend on the type of CPU you are using and the other types of modules installed to the
left of the analog modules. If you’re using a DL230 CPU (or a DL240 CPU with firmware
earlier than V1.4) you should check the DL205 Analog I/O Manual for any possible placement
restrictions related to your particular module. You can order the DL205 Analog I/O Manual
by ordering part number D2–ANLG–M.

Wiring the Different Module Connectors
There are two types of module connectors for the DL205 I/O. Some modules have normal
screw terminal connectors. Other modules have connectors with recessed screws. The recessed
screws help minimize the risk of someone accidentally touching active wiring.
Both types of connectors can be easily removed. If you examine the connectors closely, you’ll
notice there are squeeze tabs on the top and bottom. To remove the terminal block, press the
squeeze tabs and pull the terminal block away from the module.
We also have DIN rail mounted terminal blocks, DINnectors (refer to our catalog for a
complete listing of all available products). ZIPLinks come with special pre–assembled cables
with the I/O connectors installed and wired.
WARNING: For some modules, field device power may still be present on the terminal block even
though the PLC system is turned off. To minimize the risk of electrical shock, check all field device
power before you remove the connector.

I/O Wiring Checklist
Use the following guidelines when wiring the I/O modules in your system.
1. T
 here is a limit to the size of wire the modules can accept. The table below lists the suggested AWG
for each module type. When making terminal connections, follow the suggested torque values.

Terminal type
10-Terminal Fixed
10-Terminal Removable
20-Terminal Removable

Suggested AWG Range
14 – 24 AWG
16* – 24 AWG
16* – 24 AWG

Suggested Torque
3.5 lb-inch (0.4 N·m)
7.81 lb-inch (0.88 N·m)
2.65 lb-in (0.3 N·m)

*NOTE: 16 AWG Type TFFN or Type MTW is recommended. Other types of 16 AWG may be acceptable,
but it really depends on the thickness and stiffness of the wire insulation. If the insulation is too thick or
stiff and a majority of the module’s I/O points are used, then the plastic terminal cover may not close
properly or the connector may pull away from the module. This applies especially for high temperature
thermoplastics such as THHN.

2. Always use a continuous length of wire, do not combine wires to attain a needed length.
3. Use the shortest possible wire length.
4. Use wire trays for routing where possible.
5. A
 void running wires near high energy wiring. Also, avoid running input wiring close to output
wiring where possible.
6. T
 o minimize voltage drops when wires must run a long distance, consider using multiple wires for
the return line.
7. Avoid running DC wiring in close proximity to AC wiring where possible.
8. Avoid creating sharp bends in the wires.

Safety Guidelines

9. T
 o reduce the risk of having a module with a blown fuse, we suggest you add external fuses to
your I/O wiring. A fast blow fuse, with a lower current rating than the I/O module fuse can
be added to each common, or a fuse with a rating of slightly less than the maximum current
per output point can be added to each output. Refer to our catalog for a complete line of
DINnectors, DIN-rail mounted fuse blocks.

At 40 mS duration, loads of 3.0A or greater cannot be used.
At 100 mS duration, loads of 2.0A or greater cannot be used.
Find the load current you expect to use and the duration that the
output is ON. The number at the intersection of the row and column
represents the switching cycles per minute. For example, a 1A
inductive load that is on for 100 ms can be switched on and off a
maximum of 60 times per minute. To convert this to duty cycle
percentage use: (duration x cycles)/60. In this example,
(60 x .1)/60 = .1, or 10% duty cycle.

1) Contact life may be extended beyond those values shown with
the use of arc suppression techniques described in the DL205 User
Manual. Since these modules have no leakage current, they do not
have built-in snubber. For example, if you place a diode across a
24VDC inductive load, you can significantly increase the life of the
relay.
2) At 120VDC 0.5 A resistive load, contact life cycle is 200k cycles.
3) Normally closed contacts have 1/2 the current handling
capability of the normally open contacts.

CPU Overview

3-2

The Central Processing Unit is the heart of the PLC. Almost all
system operations are controlled by the CPU, so it is important
that it is set up and installed correctly. This chapter provides the
information needed to understand:
• The differences between the various models of CPUs, and
• The steps required to set up and install the CPU.

General CPU Features
The DL230, DL240, DL250–1 and D2–260 are modular CPUs
which can be installed in 3, 4, 6, or 9 slot bases. All I/O modules
in the DL205 family will work with any of the CPUs. The DL205
CPUs offer a wide range of processing power and program instructions. All offer RLL and
Stage program instructions (See Chapter 5). They also provide extensive internal diagnostics
that can be monitored from the application program or from an operator interface.

DL230 CPU Features
The DL230 has 2.4K words of memory comprised of 2.0K of ladder memory and approximately
400 words of V-memory (data registers). It has 92 different instructions available for
programming, and supports a maximum of 256 I/O points.
Program storage is in the factory-installed EEPROM. In addition to the EEPROM there is
also RAM on the CPU which will store system parameters, V-memory, and other data which
is not in the application program.
The DL230 provides one built-in RS-232 communication port, so you can easily connect a
handheld programmer or a personal computer without needing any additional hardware.

DL240 CPU Features
The DL240 has a maximum of 3.8K of memory comprised of 2.5K of ladder memory and
approximately 1.3K of V-memory (data registers). There are 129 instructions available for
program development and a maximum of 256 points local I/O, and 896 points with remote
I/O are supported.
Program storage is in the factory-installed EEPROM. In addition to the EEPROM, there is
also RAM on the CPU that will store system parameters, V-memory and other data which is
not in the application program.
The DL240 has two communication ports. The top port is the same port configuration as the
DL230. The bottom port also supports the DirectNET protocol, so you can use the DL240 in
a DirectNET network. Since the port is RS-232, you must use an RS-232/RS-422 converter
for multi-drop connections.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 3: CPU Specifications and Operations

DL250–1 CPU Features
The DL250–1 replaces the DL250 CPU. It offers all the DL240 features, plus more program
instructions and a built–in Remote I/O Master port. It offers all the features of the DL250 CPU
with the addition of supporting Local expansion I/O. It has a maximum of 14.8K of program
memory comprised of 7.6K of ladder memory and 7.2K of V-memory (data registers). It
supports a maximum of 256 points of local I/O and a maximum of 768 I/O points (maximum
of two local expansion bases). In addition, port 2 supports up to 2048 points if you use the
DL250–1 as a Remote master. It includes an internal RISC–based microprocessor for greater
processing power. The DL250–1 has 240 instructions. The instructions are in addition to
the DL240 instruction set which includes drum timers, a print function, floating point math,
PID loop control for 4 loops and the Intelligent Box (IBox) instructions.
The DL250–1 has a total of two built–in communications ports. The top port is identical to
the top port of the DL240, with the exception of the DirectNet slave feature. The bottom port
is a 15–pin RS-232/RS-422 port. It will interface with DirectSOFT and operator interfaces,
and provides DirectNet and Modbus RTU Master/Slave connections.

DL260 CPU Features
The DL260 offers all the DL250–1 features, plus ASCII IN/OUT and expanded Modbus
instructions. It also supports up to 1280 local I/O points by using up to four local expansion
bases. It has a maximum of 30.4K of program memory comprised of 15.8K of ladder memory
(saved on flash memory) and 14.6K of V-memory (data registers). It also includes an internal
RISC–based microprocessor for greater processing power. The DL260 has 297 instructions.
In addition to those in the DL250–1 instruction set, the DL260 instruction set includes table
instructions, trigonometric instructions and support for 16 PID loops.
The DL260 has a total of two built–in communications ports. The top port is identical to the
top port of the DL250–1. The bottom port is a 15–pin RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 port. It will
interface with DirectSOFT (version 4.0 or later), operator interfaces, and provides DirectNet,
Modbus RTU Master/Slave connections. Port 2 also supports ASCII IN/OUT instructions.

Selecting the Program Storage Media
Built-in EEPROM

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

The DL230 and DL240 CPUs provide built-in EEPROM storage. This type of memory is
non-volatile and is not dependent on battery backup to retain the program. The EEPROM
can be electrically reprogrammed without being removed from the CPU. You can also set
Jumper 3, which will write protect the EEPROM. The jumper is set at the factory to allow
changes to EEPROM. If you select write protection by changing the jumper position, you
cannot make changes to the program.
WARNING: Do NOT change Jumper 2. This is for factory test operations. If you change Jumper 2, the
CPU will not operate properly.
Jumper in position
shown selects write

EEPROM

EEPROM Sizes
The DL230 and DL240 CPUs use different sizes of EEPROMs. The CPUs come from the
factory with EEPROMs already installed. However, if you need extra EEPROMs, select one
that is compatible with the following part numbers.
CPU Type
EEPROM Part Number
Capacity
DL230
DL240

Hitachi HN58C65P–25
Hitachi HN58C256P–20

8K byte (2Kw)
32K byte (3Kw)

EEPROM Operations
Many AUX functions are specifically for use with an EEPROM in the Handheld Programmer.
This enables you to quickly and easily copy programs between a program developed offline in
the Handheld Programmer and the CPU. Also, you can erase EEPROMs, compare them, etc.
See the DL205 Handheld Programmer Manual for details on using these AUX functions with
the Handheld Programmer.
NOTE: If the instructions are supported in both CPUs and the program size is within the limits of the
DL230, you can move a program between the two CPUs. However, the EEPROM installed in the Handheld
Programmer must be the same size as (or larger than) the CPU being used. For example, you could not
install a DL240 EEPROM in the Handheld Programmer and download the program to a DL230. Instead, if
the program is within the size limits of the DL230, use a DL230 chip in the Handheld when you obtain the
program from the DL240.

The CPU must be installed in the first slot in the base (closest to the power supply). You
cannot install the CPU in any other slot. When inserting the CPU into the base, align the
PC board with the grooves on the top and bottom of the base. Push the CPU straight into
the base until it is firmly seated in the backplane connector. Use the retaining clips to secure
the CPU to the base.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or equipment damage, always
disconnect the system power before installing or removing any system component.

Retaining Clips

CPU must reside in first slot!

Connecting the Programming Devices
The handheld programmer is connected to the CPU with a Handheld Programmer cable.
You can connect the Handheld Programmer to either port on a DL240 CPU. The Handheld
Programmer is shipped with a cable. The cable is approximately 6.5 ft (200cm).

Connect Handheld to either Port

If you are using a Personal Computer with the DirectSOFT programming package, you can
use either the top or bottom port.

CPU Setup Information
Even if you have years of experience using PLCs, there are a few tasks you need to do before
you can start entering programs. This section includes some basic tasks, such as changing the
CPU mode, but it also includes some tasks that you may never have to use. Here’s a brief list
of the items that are discussed:
• Using auxiliary functions
• Clearing the program (and other memory areas)
• How to initialize system memory
• Setting retentive memory ranges

The following paragraphs provide the setup information necessary to ready the CPU for
programming, including set-up instructions for either type of programming device you are
using. The D2–HPP Handheld Programmer Manual provides the Handheld keystrokes
required to perform all of these operations. The DirectSOFT Manual provides a description of
the menus and keystrokes required to perform the setup procedures via DirectSOFT.

Mode Switch Functions
The mode switch on the DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs provides positions for enabling
and disabling program changes in the CPU. Unless the mode switch is in the TERM position,
RUN and STOP mode changes will not be allowed by any interface device, (Handheld
Programmer, DirectSOFT programing package or operator interface). Programs may be
viewed or monitored but no changes may be made. If the switch is in the TERM position and
no program password is in effect, all operating modes as well as program access will be allowed
through the connected programming or monitoring device.
The CPU mode can be changed in two ways:
• Use the CPU mode switch to select the operating mode.
• Place the CPU mode switch in the TERM position and use a programming device to change
operating modes. In this position, you can change between Run and Program modes.
NOTE: If the PLC is switched to the RUN Mode without a program in the CPU, the CPU will produce a
FATAL ERROR which can be cleared by cycling the power to the PLC.

can be changed between Run and Program modes. You can use either DirectSOFT or the
Handheld Programmer to change the CPU mode of operation. With DirectSOFT use the
PLC menu option PLC > Mode or use the Mode button located on the Online
toolbar. With the Handheld Programmer, use the MODE key.

PLC Menu
MODE Key

Mode of Operation at Power Up
The DL205 CPUs will normally power up in the mode that it was in just prior to the power
interruption. For example, if the CPU was in Program Mode when the power was disconnected,
the CPU will power up in Program Mode (see warning note below).
WARNING: Once the super capacitor has discharged, the system memory may not retain the previous
mode of operation. When this occurs, the PLC can power-up in either Run or Program Mode if the mode
switch is in the term position. There is no way to determine which mode will be entered as the startup
mode. Failure to adhere to this warning greatly increases the risk of unexpected equipment startup.

The mode in which the CPU will power up in is also determined by the state of System
Memory bit B7633.13. If the bit is set and the Mode Switch is in the TERM position, the
CPU will power-up in RUN mode. If B7633.13 is not set with the Mode Switch in TERM
position, then the CPU will power up in the state it was in when it was powered down.

Using Battery Backup

3-14

An optional lithium battery is available to maintain the system RAM retentive memory when
the DL205 system is without external power. Typical CPU battery life is five years, which
includes PLC runtime and normal shut-down periods. However, consider installing a fresh
battery if your battery has not been changed recently and the system will be shut down for a
period of more than ten days.
NOTE: Before installing or replacing your CPU battery, back up your V-memory and system parameters. You
can do this by using DirectSOFT to save the program, V-memory, and system parameters to hard/floppy
disk on a personal computer.

To install the D2–BAT CPU battery in DL230 or
DL240 CPUs:
1. G
 ently push the battery connector onto the circuit
board connector.
2. P
 ush the battery into the retaining clip. Don’t use
excessive force. You may break the retaining clip.
3. Make a note of the date the battery was installed.

To install the D2–BAT–1 CPU battery in the DL250–1/DL260
CPUs: (#CR2354)
1. P
 ress the retaining clip on the battery door down and swing the
battery door open.
2. P
 lace the battery into the coin–type slot with the +, or larger, side
out.
3. Close the battery door making sure that it locks securely in place.
4. Make a note of the date the battery was installed.

WARNING: Do not attempt to recharge the battery or dispose of an old battery by fire. The battery may
explode or release hazardous materials.

Battery Backup
The battery backup is available immediately after the battery has been installed in the DL205
CPUs. The battery low (BATT) indicator will turn on if the battery is less than 2.5VDC (refer
to the Status Indicator table on page 3-12). Special Relay 43 (SP43) will also be activated. The
low battery indication is enabled by setting bit 12 of V7633 (B7633.12). If the low-battery
feature is not desired, do not set bit V7633.12.
The super capacitor will retain memory IF it is configured as retentive regardless of the state of
B7633.12. The battery will be the same, but for a much longer time.

Chapter 3: CPU Specifications and Operations

Auxiliary Functions
Many CPU set-up tasks involve the use of Auxiliary (AUX) Functions. The AUX Functions
perform many different operations, including clearing ladder memory, displaying the scan
time, copying programs to EEPROM in the Handheld Programmer, etc. They are divided
into categories that affect different system parameters. Appendix A provides a description of
the AUX functions.
You can access the AUX Functions from DirectSOFT or from the DL205 Handheld
Programmer. The manuals for those products provide step-by-step procedures for accessing
the AUX Functions. Some of these AUX Functions are designed specifically for the Handheld
Programmer setup, so they will not be needed (or available) with the DirectSOFT package.
The following table shows a list of the Auxiliary functions for the different CPUs and the
Handheld Programmer.
NOTE: The Handheld Programmer may have additional AUX functions that are not supported with the DL205
CPUs.

Clearing an Existing Program
Before you enter a new program, you should always clear ladder memory. You can use AUX
Function 24 to clear the complete program.
You can also use other AUX functions to clear other memory areas.
AUX 23 — Clear Ladder Range
AUX 24 — Clear all Ladders
AUX 31 — Clear V-Memory

Initializing System Memory
The DL205 CPUs maintain system parameters in a memory area often referred to as the
“scratchpad.” In some cases, you may make changes to the system setup that will be stored in
system memory. For example, if you specify a range of Control Relays (CRs) as retentive, these
changes are stored. AUX 54 resets the system memory to the default values.
WARNING: You may never have to use this feature unless you want to clear any set-up information
that is stored in system memory. Usually, you will only need to initialize the system memory if you
are changing programs and the old program required a special system setup. You can usually change
from program to program without ever initializing system memory. Remember, this AUX function will
reset all system memory. If you have set special parameters such as retentive ranges, etc., they will
be erased when AUX 54 is used. Make sure that you have considered all ramifications of this operation
before you select it.

Setting the Clock and Calendar

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

3-16

The DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 also have a Clock/Calendar that can be used for many
purposes. If you need to use this feature, AUX functions are available that allow you to set the
date and time. For example, you would use AUX 52, Display/Change Calendar to set the time
and date with the Handheld Programmer. With DirectSOFT you would use the PLC set-up
menu options using K–Sequence protocol only.
The CPU uses the following format to display the date and time.
• Date — Year, Month, Date, Day of week (0 – 6, Sunday
through Saturday)
• Time —24-hour format, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Handheld Programmer Display

23:08:17 08/02/20

You can use the AUX function to change any component of the date or time. However, the
CPU will not automatically correct any discrepancy between the date and the day of the week.
For example, if you change the date to the 15th of the month and the 15th is on a Thursday,
you will also have to change the day of the week (unless the CPU already shows the date as
Thursday). The day of the week can only be set using the Handheld Programmer.

Setting the CPU Network Address


 240
 250-1
 260
230

The DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs have built in DirectNet ports. You can use the
Handheld Programmer to set the network address for the port and the port communication
parameters. The default settings are:
• Station Address 1
• Hex Mode
• Odd Parity
• 9600 Baud

The DirectNet Manual provides additional information about choosing the communication
settings for network operation.

Setting Retentive Memory Ranges
The DL205 CPUs provide certain ranges of retentive memory by default. The default ranges
are suitable for many applications, but you can change them if your application requires
additional retentive ranges or no retentive ranges at all. The default settings are:

Using a Password
The DL205 CPUs allow you to use a password to help minimize the risk of unauthorized
program and/or data changes. Once you enter a password you can “lock” the CPU against
access. Once the CPU is locked you must enter the password before you can use a programming
device to change any system parameters.
You can select an 8-digit numeric password. The CPUs are shipped from the factory with a
password of 00000000. All zeros removes the password protection. If a password has been
entered into the CPU, you cannot enter all zeros to remove it. Once you enter the correct
password, you can change the password to all zeros to remove the password protection. For
more information on passwords, see the appropriate appendix on auxiliary functions.
WARNING: Make sure you remember your password. If you forget your password you will not be able
to access the CPU. The CPU must be returned to the factory to have the password (along with the
ladder project) removed. It is the policy of AutomationDirect to require the memory of the PLC to be
cleared along with the password.

You can use the D2–HPP Handheld Programmer
or DirectSOFT to enter a password. The following
diagram shows how you can enter a password with the
Handheld Programmer.

The CPU can be locked three ways once the password has been entered.
•If the CPU power is disconnected, the CPU will be automatically locked against access.
•If you enter the password with DirectSOFT, the CPU will be automatically locked against access
when you exit DirectSOFT.
•Use AUX 83 to lock the CPU.

When you use DirectSOFT, you will be prompted for a password if the CPU has been locked.
If you use the Handheld Programmer, you have to use AUX 82 to unlock the CPU. Once you
enter AUX 82, you will be prompted to enter the password.
NOTE: The DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs offer multi–level passwords for even more password
protection of the ladder program. This allows password protection while not locking the communication port
to an operator interface. The multi-level password can be invoked by creating a password with an upper case
“A” followed by seven numeric characters (e.g., A1234567).

Four analog potentiometers (pots) are on the
face plate of the DL240 CPU. These pots can
be used to change timer constants, frequency of
pulse train output, value for an analog output
module, etc.
Each analog channel has corresponding
V-memory locations for setting lower and upper
limits for each analog channel.
To increase the value associated with the analog
pot, turn the pot clockwise. To decrease the
value, turn the pot counter clockwise

You can use the program logic to load the limits
into these locations, or, you can use a programming
device to load the values. The range for each limit
is 0 – 9999.
These analog pots have a resolution of 256 pieces.
Therefore, if the span between the upper and lower
limits is less than or equal to 256, then you have
better resolution or, more precise control.
Use the formula shown to determine the smallest
amount of change that can be detected.
For example, a range of 100 – 600 would result in a
resolution of 1.95. Therefore, the smallest increment
would be 1.95 units. (The actual result depends on
exactly how you are using the values in the control
program).

CPU Operation
Achieving the proper control for your equipment or process requires a good understanding
of how DL205 CPUs control all aspects of system operation. The flowchart below shows the
main tasks of the CPU operating system. In this section, we
will investigate four aspects of CPU operation:
Power up
• CPU Operating System — The CPU manages all aspects of
system control.

Initialize hardware

• CPU Operating Modes — The three primary modes of
operation are Program Mode, Run Mode, and Test Mode.

Check I/O module
config. and verify

• CPU Timing — The two important areas we discuss are the
I/O response time and the CPU scan time.

Initialize various memory
based on retentive
configuration

• CPU Memory Map — The CPU’s memory map shows the
CPU addresses of various system resources, such as timers,
counters, inputs, and outputs.

Update input
Read input data from
Specialty and Remote I/O

CPU Operating System
At power up, the CPU initializes the internal electronic
hardware. Memory initialization starts with examining
the retentive memory settings. In general, the contents of
retentive memory are preserved, and non-retentive memory
is initialized to zero (unless otherwise specified).
After the one-time power-up tasks, the CPU begins the
cyclical scan activity. The flowchart to the right shows how
the tasks differ based on the CPU mode and the existence
of any errors. The “scan time” is defined as the average
time around the task loop. Note that the CPU is always
reading the inputs, even during program mode. This allows
programming tools to monitor input status at any time.
The outputs are only updated in Run mode. In Program
mode, they are in the off state.
In Run Mode, the CPU executes the user ladder program.
Immediately afterwards, any PID loops which are
configured are executed (DL250-1 and DL260). Then
the CPU writes the output results of these two tasks to the
appropriate output points.
Error detection has two levels: Non-fatal and fatal. Nonfatal errors are reported, but the CPU remains in its current
mode. If a fatal error occurs, the CPU is forced into
program mode and the outputs go off.

modules. The primary use for Program Mode
is to enter or change an application program.
You also use the program mode to set up
CPU parameters, such as the network address,
retentive memory areas, etc.
Download Program
You can use the mode switch on the DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs to select Program Mode
operation. Or, with the switch in TERM position, you can use a programming device such as
the Handheld Programmer to place the CPU in Program Mode.

Run Mode Operation
In Run Mode, the CPU executes the application
program, does PID calculations for configured
PID loops (DL250-1/DL260), and updates the
I/O system. You can perform many operations
during Run Mode. Some of these include:
• Monitor and change I/O point status
• Update timer/counter preset values
• Update Variable memory locations

You can also edit the program during Run Mode.
Diagnostics
The Run Mode Edits are not “bumpless.”
Instead, the CPU maintains the outputs in
their last state while it accepts the new program information. If an error is found in the new
program, then the CPU will turn all the outputs off and enter the Program Mode.
WARNING: Only authorized personnel fully familiar with all aspects of the application should make
changes to the program. Changes during Run Mode become effective immediately. Make sure you
thoroughly consider the impact of any changes to minimize the risk of personal injury or damage to
equipment.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 3: CPU Specifications and Operations

Read Inputs
The CPU reads the status of all inputs, then stores it in the image register. Input image register
locations are designated with an X followed by a memory location. Image register data is used
by the CPU when it solves the application program. Of course, an input may change after
the CPU has read the inputs. Generally, the CPU scan time is measured in milliseconds. If
you have an application that cannot wait until the next I/O update, you can use Immediate
Instructions. These do not use the status of the input image register to solve the application
program. The Immediate instructions immediately read the input status directly from I/O
modules. However, this lengthens the program scan since the CPU has to read the I/O point
status again. A complete list of the Immediate instructions is included in Chapter 5.

Read Inputs from Specialty and Remote I/O
After the CPU reads the inputs from the input
modules, it reads any input point data from any
Specialty modules that are installed, such as Counter
Interface modules, etc. This is also the portion of
the scan that reads the input status from Remote I/O
bases.

NOTE: It may appear the Remote I/O point status is
updated every scan. This is not quite true. The CPU will receive information from the Remote I/O Master
module every scan, but the Remote Master may not have received an update from all the Remote Slaves.
Remember, the Remote I/O link is managed by the Remote Master, not the CPU.

Service Peripherals and Force I/O
After the CPU reads the inputs from the input modules, it reads any attached peripheral
devices. This is primarily a communications service for any attached devices. For example,
it would read a programming device to see if any input, output, or other memory type status
needs to be modified. Two basic types of forcing are available with the DL205 CPUs.
NOTE: DirectNet protocol does not support bit operations.

• Forcing from a peripheral – not a permanent force, good only for one scan
• Bit Override (DL240, DL250–1 and DL260) – holds the I/O point (or other bit) in the current
state. Valid bits are X, Y, C, T, CT, and S. These memory types are discussed in more detail later
in this chapter.

Regular Forcing — This type of forcing can temporarily change the status of a discrete bit.
For example, you may want to force an input on, even though it is really off. This allows you
to change the point status that was stored in the image register. This value will be valid until
the image register location is written to during the next scan. This is primarily useful during
testing situations when you need to force a bit on to trigger another event.

Bit Override — (DL240, DL250–1 and DL260) Bit override can be enabled on a point-bypoint basis by using AUX 59 from the Handheld Programmer or, by a menu option from
within DirectSOFT. Bit override basically disables any changes to the discrete point by the
CPU. For example, if you enable bit override for X1, and X1 is off at the time, then the CPU
will not change the state of X1. This means that even if X1 comes on, the CPU will not
acknowledge the change. So, if you used X1 in the program, it would always be evaluated as
“off” in this case. Of course, if X1 was on when the bit override was enabled, then X1 would
always be evaluated as “on.” There is an advantage available when you use the bit override
feature. The regular forcing is not disabled because the bit override is enabled. For example, if
you enabled the Bit Override for Y0 and it was off at the time, then the CPU would not change
the state of Y0. However, you can still use a programming device to change the status. Now, if
you use the programming device to force Y0 on, it will remain on and the CPU will not change
the state of Y0. If you then force Y0 off, the CPU will maintain Y0 as off. The CPU will never
update the point with the results from the application program or from the I/O update until
the bit override is removed. The following diagram shows a brief overview of the bit override
feature. Notice the CPU does not update the Image Register when bit override is enabled

CPU Bus Communication
Specialty Modules, such as the Data Communications Module, can transfer data to and from
the CPU over the CPU bus on the backplane. This data is more than standard I/O point
status. This type of communications can only occur on the CPU (local) base. A portion of the
execution cycle is used to communicate with these modules. The CPU performs both read and
write requests during this segment.

Update Clock, Special Relays and Special Registers
The DL240 , DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs have an internal real-time clock and calendar
timer which are accessible to the application program. Special V-memory locations hold this
information. This portion of the execution cycle makes sure these locations get updated on
every scan. Several different Special Relays, such as diagnostic relays, etc., are also updated
during this segment.

Solve Application Program
The CPU evaluates each instruction in the application
program during this segment of the scan cycle. The
instructions define the relationship between input
conditions and the system outputs.
The CPU begins with the first rung of the ladder program,
evaluating it from left to right and from top to bottom. It
continues, rung by rung, until it encounters the END coil
instruction. At that point, a new image for the outputs is
complete.

The internal control relays (C), the stages (S), and the

You may recall the CPU may have obtained and stored forcing information when it serviced
the peripheral devices. If any I/O points or memory data have been forced, the output image
register also contains this information.

NOTE: If an output point was used in the application program, the results of the program solution will
overwrite any forcing information that was stored. For example, if Y0 was forced on by the programming
device, and a rung containing Y0 was evaluated such that Y0 should be turned off, then the output image
register will show that Y0 should be off. Of course, you can force output points that are not used in the
application program. In this case, the point remains forced because there is no solution that results from
the application program execution.

Solve PID Loop Equations

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

The DL260 CPU can process up to 16 PID loops and the DL250–1 can process up to 4 PID
loops. The loop calculations are run as a separate task from the ladder program execution,
immediately following it. Only loops that have been configured are calculated, and then only
according to a built-in loop scheduler. The sample time (calculation interval) of each loop is
programmable. Please refer to Chapter 8, PID Loop Operation, for more on the effects of PID
loop calculation on the overall CPU scan time.

Write Outputs
Once the application program has solved the instruction logic and constructed the output
image register, the CPU writes the contents of the output image register to the corresponding
output points located in the local CPU base or the local expansion bases. Remember, the CPU
also made sure any forcing operation changes were stored in the output image register, so the
forced points get updated with the status specified earlier.

Write Outputs to Specialty and Remote I/O
After the CPU updates the outputs in the local and expansion bases, it sends the output point
information that is required by any Specialty modules that are installed. For example, this is
the portion of the scan that writes the output status from the image register to the Remote I/O
racks.
NOTE: It may appear the Remote I/O point status is updated every scan. This is not quite true. The
CPU will send the information to the Remote I/O Master module every scan, but the Remote Master will
update the actual remote modules during the next communication sequence between the master and slave
modules. Remember, the Remote I/O link communication is managed by the Remote Master, not the CPU.

Diagnostics
During this part of the scan, the CPU performs all
system diagnostics and other tasks, such as:
• calculating the scan time
• updating special relays

You can use AUX 53 to view the minimum, maximum, and current scan time. Use AUX 55
to increase or decrease the watchdog timer value. There is also an RSTWT instruction that can
be used in the application program to reset the watch dog timer during the CPU scan.

Chapter 3: CPU Specifications and Operations

I/O Response Time
Is Timing Important for Your Application?
I/O response time is the amount of time required for the control system to sense a change in
an input point and update a corresponding output point. In the majority of applications, the
CPU performs this task practically instantaneously. However, some applications do require
extremely fast update times. Four things can affect the I/O response time:
• The point in the scan period when the field input changes states
• Input module Off to On delay time
• CPU scan time
• Output module Off to On delay time

Normal Minimum I/O Response
The I/O response time is shortest when the module senses the input change before the Read
Inputs portion of the execution cycle. In this case the input status is read, the application
program is solved, and the output point gets updated. The following diagram shows an
example of the timing for this situation.

I/O Response Time

In this case, you can calculate the response time by simply adding the following items:

Normal Maximum I/O Response
The I/O response time is longest when the module senses the input change after the Read
Inputs portion of the execution cycle. In this case the new input status does not get read until
the following scan. The following diagram shows an example of the timing for this situation.
In this case, you can calculate the response time by simply adding the following items:
Input Delay +(2 x Scan Time) + Output Delay = Response Time

Improving Response Time
You can do a few things to help improve throughput.
• Choose instructions with faster execution times
• Use immediate I/O instructions (which update the I/O points during the ladder program
execution segment)
• Choose modules that have faster response times
Immediate I/O instructions are probably the most useful technique. The following example
shows immediate input and output instructions and their effect.

I/O Response Time

In this case, you can calculate the response time by simply adding the following items:
Input Delay + Instruction Execution Time + Output Delay = Response Time

The instruction execution time is calculated by adding the time for the immediate input
instruction, the immediate output instruction, and all instructions in between.
NOTE: When the immediate instruction reads the current status from a module, it uses the results to solve
that one instruction without updating the image register. Therefore, any regular instructions that follow
will still use image register values. Any immediate instructions that follow will access the module again to
update the status.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 3: CPU Specifications and Operations

CPU Scan Time Considerations
The scan time covers all the cyclical tasks
that the operating system performs. You
can use DirectSOFT or the Handheld
Programmer to display the minimum,
maximum, and current scan times that have
occurred since the previous Program Mode
to Run Mode transition. This information
can be very important when evaluating
system performance.
As shown previously, there are several
segments that make up the scan cycle. Each
of these segments requires a certain amount
of time to complete. Of all the segments,
the only one you really have the most control
over is the amount of time it takes to execute
the application program. This is because
different instructions take different amounts
of time to execute. So, if you think you need
a faster scan, then you can try to choose
faster instructions.
Your choice of I/O modules and system
configuration, such as expansion or remote
I/O, can also affect the scan time; however,
the application usually dictates them.
For example, if you need to count pulses at
high rates of speed, then you will probably
have to use a High-Speed Counter module.
Also, if you have I/O points that need to be
located several hundred feet from the CPU,
then you need remote I/O because it is much
faster and cheaper to install a single remote
I/O cable than it is to run all those signal
wires for each individual I/O point. The
following paragraphs provide some general
information on how much time some of the
segments can require.

The time required to read any input status from these modules depends on which CPU you are
using, the number of modules, and the number of input points.

Service Peripherals
Communication requests can occur at any time during the scan, but the CPU only “logs” the
requests for service until the Service Peripherals portion of the scan. The CPU does not spend
any time on this if there are no peripherals connected.

CPU Bus Communication
Some specialty modules can also communicate directly with the CPU via the CPU bus. During
this portion of the cycle the CPU completes any CPU bus communications. The actual time
required depends on the type of modules installed and the type of request being processed.
NOTE: Some specialty modules can have a considerable impact on the CPU scan time. If timing is critical in
your application, consult the module documentation for any information concerning the impact on the scan
time.

Update Clock/Calendar, Special Relays, Special Registers
The clock, calendar, and special relays are updated and loaded into special V-memory locations
during this time. This update is performed during both Run and Program Modes.

NOTE: This total time is the actual time required for the CPU to update these outputs. This does not include
any additional time that is required for the CPU to actually service the particular specialty modules.

Diagnostics
The DL205 CPUs perform many types of system diagnostics. The amount of time required

Application Program Execution
The CPU processes the program from the top (address 0) to the END instruction. The CPU
executes the program left to right and top to bottom. As each rung is evaluated, the appropriate
image register or memory location is updated.
The time required to solve the application program depends on the type and number of
instructions used and the amount of execution overhead.
You can add the execution times for all the instructions in your program to find the total
program execution time. For example, the execution time for a DL240 running the program
shown would be calculated as follows:

Appendix C provides a complete list of instruction execution times for DL205 CPUs.
Program Control Instructions — the DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs offer additional
instructions that can change the way the program executes. These instructions include FOR/
NEXT loops, Subroutines, and Interrupt Routines. These instructions can interrupt the
normal program flow and affect the program execution time. Chapter 5 provides detailed
information on how these different types of instructions operate.

As any good computer does, PLCs store and manipulate numbers in binary form: ones and
zeros. So why do we have to deal with numbers in so many different forms? Numbers have
meaning, and some representations are more convenient than others for particular purposes.
Sometimes we use numbers to represent a size or amount of something. Other numbers refer
to locations or addresses, or to time. In science we attach engineering units to numbers to give
a particular meaning (see Appendix H for numbering system details).

?

PLC Resources
PLCs offer a fixed number of resources, depending on the model and configuration. We use
the word “resources” to include variable memory (V-memory), I/O points, timers, counters,
etc. Most modular PLCs allow you to add I/O points in groups of eight. In fact, all the
resources of our PLCs are counted in octal. It’s easier for computers to count in groups of eight
than ten, because eight is an even power of two.
Octal means simply counting in groups of eight. Decimal 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
In the figure to the right, there are eight circles.
The quantity in decimal is “8,” but in octal it is
“10” (8 and 9 are not valid in octal). In octal, Octal
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10
“10” means 1 group of 8 plus 0 (no individuals).
In the figure below, we have two groups of eight circles. Counting in octal we have “20.”items,
meaning two groups of eight, plus zero individuals Don’t say “twenty,” say “two–zero octal”.
This makes a clear distinction between number systems.

After counting PLC resources, it’s time to access PLC resources (there’s a difference). The CPU
instruction set accesses resources of the PLC using octal addresses. Octal addresses are the
same as octal quantities, except they start counting at zero. The number zero is significant to a
computer, so we don’t skip it.

Variable memory (called “V-memory”) stores data for the ladder program and for configuration settings.
V-memory locations and V-memory addresses are the same thing, and are numbered in octal. For example,
V2073 is a valid location, while V1983 is not valid (“9” and “8” are not valid octal digits).
Each V-memory location is one data word wide, meaning 16 bits. For configuration registers, our manuals will show
each bit of a V-memory word. The least significant bit (LSB) will be on the right, and the most significant bit (MSB)
on the left. We use the word “significant,” referring to the relative binary weighting of the bits.
V-memory data is 16-bit binary, but we rarely program the data registers one bit at a time. We use

instructions or viewing tools that let us work with binary, decimal, octal, and hexadecimal numbers. All
these are converted and stored as binary for us. A frequently-asked question is “How do I tell if a number is
binary, octal, BCD, or hex”? The answer is that we usually cannot tell by looking at the data, but it does not
really matter. What matters is: the source or mechanism which writes data into a V-memory location and
the thing which later reads it must both use the same data type (i.e., octal, hex, binary, or whatever). The
V-memory location is a storage box, that’s all. It does not convert or move the data on its own.

Binary-Coded Decimal Numbers
Since humans naturally count in decimal, we prefer to enter and view PLC data in decimal as well (via
operator interfaces). However, computers are more efficient in using pure binary numbers. A compromise
solution between the two is Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) representation. A BCD digit ranges from 0 to
9, and is stored as 4 binary bits (a nibble). This permits each V-memory location to store 4 BCD digits, with
a range of decimal numbers from 0000 to 9999.

In a pure binary sense, a 16-bit word represents numbers from 0 to 65535. In storing BCD numbers, the
range is reduced to 0 to 9999. Many math instructions use BCD data, and DirectSOFT and the Handheld
Programmer allow us to enter and view data in BCD. Special RLL instructions convert from BCD to
binary, or visa–versa.

Hexadecimal Numbers
Hexadecimal numbers are similar to BCD numbers, except they utilize all possible binary values in each 4-bit
digit. They are base-16 numbers so we need 16 different digits. To extend our decimal digits 0 through 9,
we use A through F as shown.

A 4-digit hexadecimal number can represent all 65536 values in a V-memory word. The range is from 0000
to FFFF (hex). PLCs often need this full range for sensor data, etc. Hexadecimal is a convenient way for
humans to view full binary data.

Memory Map
With any PLC system, you generally have many different types of information to process. This
includes input device status, output device status, various timing elements, parts counts, etc. It
is important to understand how the system represents and stores the various types of data. For
example, you need to know how the system identifies input points, output points, data words,
etc. The following paragraphs discuss the various memory types used in the DL205 CPUs.
A memory map overview for the DL230, DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs follows the
memory descriptions.

Octal Numbering System
All memory locations or areas are numbered in Octal
(base 8). For example, the diagram shows how the
octal numbering system works for the discrete input
points. Notice the octal system does not contain any
numbers with the digits 8 or 9.

Discrete and Word Locations
As you examine the different memory types, you’ll
notice two types of memory in the DL205, discrete and
word memory. Discrete memory is one bit that can
be either a 1 or a 0. Word memory is referred to as
V memory (variable) and is a 16-bit location normally
used to manipulate data/numbers, store data/numbers,
etc. Some information is automatically stored in
V-memory. For example, the timer current values are
stored in V-memory.

V–Memory Locations for Discrete Memory Areas
The discrete memory area is for inputs, outputs, control relays, special relays, stages, timer status
bits and counter status bits. However, you can also access the bit data types as a V-memory
word. Each V-memory location contains 16 consecutive discrete locations. For example, the
following diagram shows how the X input points are mapped into V-memory locations.

The discrete output points are noted by a Y
data type. Up to 512 discrete output points

example, output point Y1 will turn on when
input X1 energizes.

Control Relays (C Data Type)
Control relays are discrete bits normally used to
control the user program. The control relays do
not represent a real world device; that is, they
cannot be physically tied to switches, output
coils, etc. Control relays are internal to the
CPU and can be programmed as discrete inputs
or discrete outputs. These locations are used in
programming the discrete memory locations (C)
or the corresponding word location which has 16
consecutive discrete locations. In this example,
memory location C5 will energize when input
X10 turns on. The second rung shows a simple
example of how to use a control relay as an input.

Timers and Timer Status Bits (T Data Type)
The number of timers available depends on the
model of CPU you are using. The tables at
the end of this section provide the number of
timers for the DL230, DL240, D2-250-1 and
DL260. Regardless of the number of timers,
you have access to timer status bits that reflect
the relationship between the current value and
the preset value of a specified timer. The timer
status bit will be on when the current value is
equal to or greater than the preset value of a
corresponding timer.
When input X0 turns on, timer T1 will start.
When the timer reaches the preset of 3 seconds
(K of 30), timer status contact T1 turns on.
When T1 turns on, output Y12 turns on.

Timer Current Values (V Data Type)
Some information is automatically stored in
V-memory, such as the current values associated with
timers. For example, V0 holds the current value for
Timer 0, V1 holds the current value for Timer 1, etc.
These are 4-digit BCD values.
The primary reason for this is programming flexibility.
The example shows how you can use relational contacts
to monitor several time intervals from a single timer.

Counters and Counter Status Bits
(CT Data Type)
You have access to counter status bits that reflect the
relationship between the current value and the preset
value of a specified counter. The counter status bit will
be on when the current value is equal to or greater than
the preset value of a corresponding counter.
Each time contact X0 transitions from off to on,
the counter increments by one (If X1 comes on, the
counter is reset to zero). When the counter reaches the
preset of 10 counts (K of 10), counter status contact
CT3 turns on. When CT3 turns on, output Y12 turns
on.

Counter Current Values (V Data Type)
Just like the timers, the counter current values are
also automatically stored in V-memory. For example,
V1000 holds the current value for Counter CT0,
V1001 holds the current value for Counter CT1, etc.
These are 4-digit BCD values. The primary reason for
this is programming flexibility. The example shows
how you can use relational contacts to monitor the
counter values.

Word Memory (V Data Type)
Word memory is referred to as V-memory (variable)
and is a 16-bit location normally used to manipulate
data/numbers, store data/numbers, etc. Some
information is automatically stored in V-memory.
For example, the timer current values are stored in
V-memory. The example shows how a four-digit
BCD constant is loaded into the accumulator and then
stored in a V-memory location.

Stages (S Data type)
RLLPLUS

Stages are used in
programs to create a
structured program, similar to a flowchart. Each
program stage denotes a program segment. When
the program segment, or stage, is active, the logic
within that segment is executed. If the stage is
off, or inactive, the logic is not executed and the
CPU skips to the next active stage. (See Chapter
7 for a more detailed description of RLLPLUS
programming.)
Each stage also has a discrete status bit that can be
used as an input to indicate whether the stage is
active or inactive. If the stage is active, then the
status bit is on. If the stage is inactive, then the
status bit is off. This status bit can also be turned
on or off by other instructions, such as the SET
or RESET instructions. This allows you to easily
control stages throughout the program.

with pre-defined functionality. There are many
different types of special relays. For example,
some aid in program development, others
provide system operating status information, etc.
Appendix D provides a complete listing of the
special relays.
In this example, control relay C10 will energize
for 50ms and de–energize for 50 ms because SP5
is a pre–defined relay that will be on for 50ms and
off for 50ms.

SP4: 1 second clock
SP5: 100 ms clock
SP6: 50 ms clock

Remote I/O Points (GX Data Type)
Remote I/O points are represented by global
relays. They are generally used only to control
remote I/O, but they can be used as normal
control relays when remote I/O is not used in the
system.
In this example, memory location GX0 represents
an output point and memory location GX10
represents an input point.

DL205 Aliases

3-52

An alias is an alternate way of referring to certain memory types, such as timer/counter current
values, V-memory locations for I/O points, etc., which simplifies understanding the memory
address. The use of the alias is optional, but some users may find the alias to be helpful when
developing a program. The table below shows how the aliases can be used.

DL205 System Design Strategies

4-2

I/O System Configurations
The DL205 PLCs offer the following ways to add I/O to the system:
• Local I/O – consists of I/O modules located in the same base as the CPU.
•L
 ocal Expansion I/O – consists of I/O modules in expansion bases located close to the CPU local
base. Expansion cables connect the expansion bases and CPU base in daisy–chain format.
•E
 thernet Remote Master – provides a low-cost, high-speed Ethernet Remote I/O link to Ethernet
Remote Slave I/O.
•E
 thernet Base Controller – provides a low-cost, high-speed Ethernet link between a network master
to AutomationDirect Ethernet Remote Slave I/O.
•R
 emote I/O – consists of I/O modules located in bases which are serially connected to the local CPU
base through a Remote Master module, or may connect directly to the bottom port on a DL250–1
or DL260 CPU.

A DL205 system can be developed using many different arrangements of these configurations.
All I/O configurations use the standard complement of DL205 I/O modules and bases. Local
expansion requires using (–1) bases.

Networking Configurations
The DL205 PLCs offers the following way to add networking to the system:
• E
 thernet Communications Module – connects DL205 systems (DL240, DL250–1 or DL260
CPUs only) and DL405 CPU systems in high–speed, peer–to–peer networks. Any PLC can initiate
communications with any other PLC when using either the ECOM or ECOM100 modules.
• D
 ata Communications Module – connects a DL205 (DL240, DL250–1 and DL260 only) system
to devices using the DirectNET protocol, or connects as a slave to a Modbus RTU network.
• D
 L250–1 Communications Port – The DL250–1 CPU has a 15–Pin connector on Port 2 that
provides a built–in Modbus RTU or DirectNET master/slave connection.
• D
 L260 Communications Port – The DL260 CPU has a 15–Pin connector on Port 2 that provides
a built–in DirectNET master/slave or Modbus RTU master/slave connection with more Modbus
function codes than the DL250–1. (The DL260 MRX and MWX instructions allow you to
enter native Modbus addressing in your ladder program with no need to perform octal to decimal
conversions.) Port 2 can also be used for ASCII IN or ASCII OUT communications.

Module Placement
Slot Numbering
The DL205 bases each provide different
numbers of slots for use with the I/O
modules. You may notice the bases refer
to 3-slot, 4-slot, etc. One of the slots is
dedicated to the CPU, so you always have
one less I/O slot. For example, you have five
I/O slots with a 6-slot base. The I/O slots
are numbered 0 – 4. The CPU slot always
contains a CPU or a base controller (EBC)
or Remote Slave and is not numbered.

Automatic I/O Configuration

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

The DL205 CPUs automatically detect any installed I/O modules (including specialty modules)
at powerup, and establish the correct I/O configuration and addresses. This applies to modules
located in local and local expansion I/O bases. For most applications, you will never have to
change the configuration.
I/O addresses use octal numbering, starting at X0 and Y0 in the slot next to the CPU. The
addresses are assigned in groups of 8 or 16, depending on the number of points for the I/O
module. The discrete input and output modules can be mixed in any order, but there may
be restrictions placed on some specialty modules. The following diagram shows the I/O
numbering convention for an example system.
Both the Handheld Programmer and DirectSOFT provide AUX functions that allow you
to automatically configure the I/O. For example, with the Handheld Programmer AUX 46
executes an automatic configuration, which allows the CPU to examine the installed modules
and determine the I/O configuration and addressing. With DirectSOFT, the PLC Configure
I/O menu option would be used.

 230 Manual I/O Configuration
may never become necessary, but DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs allow manual I/O address
 240 Itassignments
for any I/O slot(s) in local or local expansion bases. You can manually modify
 250-1 an auto configuration to match arbitrary I/O numbering. For example, two adjacent input
 260 modules can have starting addresses at X20 and X200. Use DirectSOFT PLC Configure I/O

4-4

menu option to assign manual I/O address.
In automatic configuration, the addresses are assigned on 8-point boundaries. Manual
configuration, however, assumes that all modules are at least 16 points, so you can only assign
addresses that are a multiple of 20 (octal). For example, X30 and Y50 are not valid starting
addresses. You can still use 8-point modules, but 16 addresses will be assigned and the upper
eight addresses will be unused.
WARNING: If you manually configure an I/O slot, the I/O addressing for the other modules may change.
This is because the DL250–1 and DL260 CPUs do not allow you to assign duplicate I/O addresses. You
must always correct any I/O configuration errors before you place the CPU in RUN mode. Uncorrected
errors can cause unpredictable machine operation that can result in a risk of personal injury or damage
to equipment.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 4: System Design and Configuration

Removing a Manual Configuration
After a manual configuration, the system will automatically retain the new I/O addresses
through a power cycle. You can remove (overwrite) any manual configuration changes by
changing all of the manually configured addresses back to automatic.

Power–On I/O Configuration Check
The DL205 CPUs can also be set to automatically check the I/O configuration on power-up.
By selecting this feature, you can detect any changes that may have occurred while the power
was disconnected. For example, if someone places an output module in a slot that previously
held an input module, the CPU will not go into RUN mode and the configuration check will
detect the change and print a message on the Handheld Programmer or DirectSOFT screen
(use AUX 44 on the HPP to enable the configuration check).
If the system detects a change in the PLC/Setup/I/O configuration check at power-up, error
code E252 will be generated. You can use AUX 42 (HPP) or DirectSOFT I/O diagnostics to
determine the exact base and slot location where the change occurred. When a configuration
error is generated, you may actually want to use the new I/O configuration. For example, you
may have intentionally changed an I/O module to use with a program change. You can use
PLC/Diagnostics/I/O Diagnostics in DirectSoft or AUX 45 to select the new configuration, or,
keep the existing configuration stored in memory.
WARNING: You should always correct any I/O configuration errors before you place the CPU into RUN
mode. Uncorrected errors can cause unpredictable machine operation that can result in a risk of
personal injury or damage to equipment.
WARNING: Verify that the I/O configuration being selected will work properly with the CPU program.
Always correct any I/O configuration errors before placing the CPU in RUN mode. Uncorrected errors
can cause unpredictable machine operation that can result in a risk of personal injury or damage to
equipment.

Calculating the Power Budget
Managing Your Power Resource
When you determine the types and quantities of I/O modules you will be using in the DL205
system, it is important to remember there is a limited amount of power available from the
power supply. We have provided a chart to help you easily see the amount of power available
with each base. The following chart will help you calculate the amount of power you need
with your I/O selections. At the end of this section is an example of power budgeting and a
worksheet for your own calculations.
If the I/O you choose exceeds the maximum power available from the power supply, you may
need to use local expansion bases or remote I/O bases.
WARNING: It is extremely important to calculate the power budget. If you exceed the power budget,
the system may operate in an unpredictable manner, which may result in a risk of personal injury or
equipment damage.

CPU Power Specifications
The following chart shows the amount of current available for the two voltages supplied from
the DL205 base. Use these currents when calculating the power budget for your system. The
Auxiliary 24V Power Source mentioned in the table is a connection at the base terminal strip
allowing you to connect to devices or DL205 modules that require 24VDC.

 se the power budget table to fill in the power requirements for all the system components.
First, enter the amount of power supplied by the base. Next, list the requirements for
the CPU, any I/O modules, and any other devices, such as the Handheld Programmer,
C-more HMI or the DV–1000 operator interface. Remember, even though the Handheld
Programmer or the DV–1000 are not installed in the base, they still obtain their power
from the system. Also, make sure you obtain any external power requirements, such as the
24VDC power required by the analog modules.
2. Add the current columns starting with CPU slot and put the total in the row labeled “Total
Power Required.”
3. Subtract the row labeled “Total Power Required” from the row labeled “Available Base
Power.” Place the difference in the row labeled “Remaining Power Available.”
4. If “Total Power Required” is greater than the power available from the base, the power
budget will be exceeded. It will be unsafe to use this configuration, and you will need to
restructure your I/O configuration.
WARNING: It is extremely important to calculate the power budget. If you exceed the power budget,
the system may operate in an unpredictable manner which may result in a risk of personal injury or
equipment damage.

obtain any external power requirements, such as the 24VDC power required by the analog
modules.
2. Add the current columns starting with CPU slot and put the total in the row labeled “Total
Power Required.”
3. Subtract the row labeled “Total Power Required” from the row labeled “Available Base
Power.” Place the difference in the row labeled “Remaining Power Available.”
4. If “Total Power Required” is greater than the power available from the base, the power
budget will be exceeded. It will be unsafe to use this configuration, and you will need to
restructure your I/O configuration.
WARNING: It is extremely important to calculate the power budget. If you exceed the power budget,
the system may operate in an unpredictable manner which may result in a risk of personal injury or
equipment damage.

Local Expansion I/O
Use local expansion when you need more I/O points, a greater power budget than the local
CPU base provides or when placing an I/O base at a location away from the CPU base, but
within the expansion cable limits. Each local expansion base requires the D2–CM controller
module in the CPU slot. The local CPU base requires the D2–EM expansion module, as well
as each expansion base. All bases in the system must be the new (–1) bases. These bases have
a connector on the right side of the base to which the D2–EM expansion module attaches. All
local and local expansion I/O points are updated on every CPU scan.
Use the DirectSOFT PLC Configure I/O menu option to view the local expansion system
automatic I/O addressing configuration. This menu also allows manual addresses to be
assigned if necessary.

D2–EM Local Expansion Module
The D2–EM expansion unit is attached to the right side of each base in the expansion system,
including the local CPU base. (All bases in the local expansion system must be the new
(–1) bases). The D2–EMs on each end of the expansion system should have the TERM
(termination) switch placed in the ON position. The expansion units between the endmost
bases should have the TERM switch placed in the OFF position. The CPU base can be located
at any base position in the expansion system. The bases are connected in a daisy–chain fashion
using the D2–EXCBL–1 (category 5 straight–through cable with RJ45 connectors). Either of
the RJ45 ports (labelled A and B) can be used to connect one expansion base to another.

Chapter 4: System Design and Configuration

Expansion Base Output Hold Option
The bit settings in V–memory registers V7741 and V7742 determine the expansion bases’
outputs response to a communications failure. The CPU will exit the RUN mode to the STOP
mode when an expansion base communications failure occurs. If the Output Hold bit is ON,
the outputs on the corresponding module will hold their last state when a communication error
occurs. If OFF (default), the outputs on the module unit will turn off in response to an error.
The setting does not have to be the same for all the modules on an expansion base.
The selection of the output mode will depend on your application. You must consider the
consequences of turning off all the devices in one or all expansion bases at the same time vs.
letting the system run “steady state” while unresponsive to input changes. For example, a
conveyor system would typically suffer no harm if the system were shut down all at once. In a
way, it is the equivalent of an “E–STOP”. On the other hand, for a continuous process such
as waste water treatment, holding the last state would allow the current state of the process to
continue until the operator can intervene manually. V7741 and V7742 are reserved for the
expansion base Output Hold option. The bit definitions are as follows:

Enabling I/O Configuration Check using DirectSOFT
Enabling the I/O Config Check will force the CPU, at power up, to examine the local and
expansion I/O configuration before entering the RUN mode. If there is a change in the I/O
configuration, the CPU will not enter the RUN mode. For example, if local expansion base
#1 does not power up with the CPU and the other expansion bases, the I/O Configuration
Check will prevent the CPU from entering the RUN mode. If the I/O Configuration check
is disabled and automatic addressing is used, the CPU would assign addresses from expansion
base #1 to base #2 and possibly enter the RUN mode. This is not desirable, and can be
prevented by enabling the I/O Configuration check.
Manual addressing can be used to manually assign addresses to the I/O modules. This will
prevent any automatic addressing re–assignments by the CPU. The I/O Configuration Check
can also be used with manual addressing.
To display the I/O Config Check window, use DirectSOFT>PLC menu>Setup>I/O Config
Check.

Select “Yes,” then
save to disk or to
PLC, if connected to
the PLC.

Expanding DL205 I/O
I/O Expansion Overview
Expanding I/O beyond the local chassis is useful for a system which has a sufficient number of
sensors and other field devices located a relatively long distance from the CPU. Two forms of
communication can be used to add remote I/O to your system: either an Ethernet or a serial
communication network. A discussion of each method follows.

Ethernet Remote Master, H2-ERM(100, -F)

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

The Ethernet Remote Master, H2-ERM(100, -F), is a module that provides a low-cost, highspeed Ethernet Remote I/O link to connect either a DL240, a DL250-1 or a DL260 CPU to
slave I/O over a high-speed Ethernet link.
Each H2-ERM(100) module can support up to 16 additional H2-EBC systems, 16 Terminator
I/O EBC systems, or 16 fully expanded H4-EBC systems.
The H2-ERM(100) connects to your control network using Category 5 UTP cables for
distances up to 100m (328ft). Repeaters are used to extend the distances and to expand the
number of nodes. The fiber optic version, H2-ERM-F, uses industry standard 62.5/125
ST-style fiber optic cables and can be run up to 2,000m (6560ft).
The PLC, ERM and EBC slave modules work together to update the remote I/O points. These
three scan cycles are occurring at the same time, but asynchronously. We recommend that
critical I/O points that must be monitored every scan be placed in the CPU base.

Use a PC equipped with a 10/100BaseT or a 10BaseFL network adapter card and the Ethernet
Remote Master (ERM) Workbench software configuration utility (included with the ERM
manual, H24-ERM-M) to configure the ERM module and its slaves over the Ethernet remote
I/O network.

When networking ERMs with other Ethernet devices, we recommend that a dedicated Ethernet
remote I/O network be used for the ERM and its slaves. While Ethernet networks can handle
an extremely large number of data transactions, and normally very quickly, heavy Ethernet
traffic can adversely affect the reliability of the slave I/O and the speed of the I/O network.
Keep ERM networks, multiple ERM networks and ECOM/office networks isolated from one
another.
Once the ERM remote I/O network is configured and running, the PC can be removed from
the network.

Installing the ERM Module
This section will briefly describe the installation of the ERM module. More detailed
information is available in the Ethernet Remote Master Module manual, H24-ERM-M, which
will be needed to configure the communication link to the remote I/O.
In addition to the manual, configuration software will be needed. The ERM Workbench
software utility must be used to configure the ERM and its slave modules. The utility is
provided on a CD which comes with the ERM manual. The ERM module can be identified by
two different methods, either by Module ID (dip switch) or by Ethernet address. Whichever
method is used, the ERM Workbench is all that is needed to configure the network modules.
If IP addressing (UDP/IP) is necessary or if the Module ID is set with software, the NetEdit
software utility (included with the ERM Workbench utility) will be needed in addition to the
ERM Workbench.
ERM Module ID
Set the ERM Module ID before installing the module in the DL205 base. Always set the
module ID to 0. A Module ID can be set in one of two ways:
• Use the DIP switches on the module (1-63)
• Use the configuration tools in NetEdit

Use the DIP switch to install and change slave modules without using a PC to set the Module
ID. Set the module’s DIP switch, insert the module in the base, and connect the network
cable. The Module ID is set on power up, and it is ready to communicate on the network.

Safety Guidelines

The Module IDs can also be set or changed on the network from a single PC by using the tools
in NetEdit.
The Module ID equals the sum of the binary values of the slide switches set in the ON position.
For example, if slide switches 1, 2 and 3 are set to the ON position, the Module ID will be 14.
This is found by adding 8+4+2=14. The maximum value which can be set on the DIP switch
is 32+16+8+4+2=63. This is achieved by setting switches 0 through 5 to the ON position. The
6 and 7 switch positions are inactive.

Ethernet Base Controller, H2-EBC(100)(-F)
The Ethernet Base Controller module H2-EBC(100)(-F) provides a low-cost, high-performance
Ethernet link between a network master controller and an DirectLOGIC PLC I/O slave system.
Also, the H2-EBC100 supports the Modbus TCP/IP client/server protocol.
The Ethernet Base Controller (EBC) serves as an interface between the master control system
and the DL205/405 I/O modules. The control function is performed by the master controller,
not the EBC slave. The EBC occupies the CPU slot in the base and communicates across the
backplane to input and output modules. Various master controllers with EBC slaves are shown
in the diagram below.

installation of the H2 Series EBCs. More detailed information is available in the Ethernet Base
Controller manual, H24-EBC-M, which will be needed to configure the remote I/O.
Each EBC module must be assigned at least one unique identifier to make it possible for master
controllers to recognize it on the network. Two methods for identifying the EBC module give
it the flexibility to fit most networking schemes. These identifiers are:
• Module ID (IPX protocol only)
• IP Address (for TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols)

The two methods which can be used to set the EBC module ID are either by DIP switch or
by software. One software method is to use the NetEdit3 program which is included with the
EBC manual. To keep the set-up discussion simple here, only the DIP switch method will be
discussed. Refer to the EBC manual for the complete use of NetEdit3.
It is recommended to use the DIP switch to set the Module ID because the DIP switch is simple
to set, and the Module ID can be determined by looking at the physical module, without
reference to a software utility.
The DIP switch can be used to set the Module ID to a number from 1-63. Do not use Module
ID 0 for communication.
If the DIP switch is set to a number greater than 0, the software utilities are disabled from
setting the Module ID. Software utilities will only allow changes to the Module ID if the DIP
switch setting is 0 (all switches OFF).
NOTE: The DIP switch settings are read at powerup only. The power must be cycled each time the DIP
switches are changed.

Setting the Module ID with the DIP switches is identical to setting the DIP switches on the
H2-ERM(100) module. Refer to page 4-19 in this chapter.

Insert the EBC Module
Once the Module ID DIP switches are set, insert the module in the CPU slot of any DL205
base.

Of the two types of EBC modules available, one supports the 10/100BaseT standard and the
other one supports the 10BaseFL standard. The 10/100BaseT standard uses twisted pairs of
copper wire conductors and the 10BaseFL standard is used with fiber optic cabling.

The 10BaseT and 100BaseT EBCs have an eight-pin modular jack that accepts RJ45
connectors. UTP Category 5 (CAT5) cable is highly recommended for use with all
Ethernet 10/100BaseT connections. For convenient and reliable networking, purchase
commercially manufactured cables which have the connectors already installed.
To connect an EBC, or a PC, to a hub or repeater, use a patch cable (sometimes called a
straight-through cable). The cable used to connect a PC directly to an EBC or to connect
two hubs is referred to as a crossover cable.

10BaseFL Network Cabling
The H2-EBC-F and the H2-ERM-F modules have two ST-style bayonet connectors. The
ST-style connector uses a quick release coupling which requires a quarter turn to engage or
disengage. The connectors provide mechanical and optical alignment of fibers.
Each cable segment requires two strands of fiber; one to transmit data and one to receive data.
The ST-style connectors are used to connect the H2-Exx-F module to a PC or a fiber optic hub
or repeater. The modules themselves cannot act as repeaters.
The H2-EBC-F and the H2-ERM-F modules accept 62.5/125 multimode fiber optic (MMF)
cable. The glass core diameter is 62.5 micrometers, and the glass cladding is 125 micrometers.
The fiber optic cable is highly immune to noise and permits communications over much
greater distances than 10/100BaseT.

Add a Serial Remote I/O Master/Slave Module

 230
 240
 250-1

In addition to the I/O located in the local base, adding remote I/O can be accomplished via
a shielded twisted-pair cable linking the master CPU to a remote I/O base. The methods of
adding serial remote I/O are:
• DL240 CPUs: Remote I/O requires a remote master module (D2–RMSM) to be installed in the
local base. The CPU updates the remote master, then the remote master handles all communication
to and from the remote I/O base by communicating to a remote slave module (D2–RSSS) installed
in each remote base.
• DL250–1 and D2–260 CPU: The CPU’s comm port 2 features a built-in Remote I/O channel. You
may also use up to seven D2–RMSM remote masters in the local base as described above (you can
use either or both methods).

Remote I/O points map into different CPU memory locations, therefore it does not reduce the
number of local I/O points. Refer to the DL205 Remote I/O manual for details on remote
I/O configuration and numbering. Configuring the built-in remote I/O channel is described
in the following section.
The figure below shows one CPU base, and one remote I/O channel with six remote bases.
If the CPU is a DL250–1 or DL260, adding the first remote I/O channel does not require
installing a remote master module (use the CPU’s built-in remote I/O channel).

2 per CPU base (DL240)

Configuring the CPU’s Remote I/O Channel


 240
 250-1
 260
230

This section describes how to configure the DL250–1 and DL260’s built-in remote I/O
channel. Additional information is in the Remote I/O manual, D2–REMIO–M, which
you will need in configuring the Remote slave units on the network. You can use the D2–
REMIO–M manual exclusively when using regular Remote Masters and Remote Slaves for
remote I/O in any DL205 system.
The DL250–1 and DL260 CPU’s built-in remote I/O channel only supports RM–Net which
allows it to communicate with up to seven remote bases containing a maximum of 2048 I/O
points per channel, at a maximum distance of 1000 meters. If required, you can still use
Remote Master modules in the local CPU base (2048 I/O points on each channel).
You may recall from the CPU specifications in Chapter 3 that the DL250–1 and DL260’s Port
2 is capable of several protocols. To configure the port using the Handheld Programmer, use
AUX 56 and follow the prompts, making the same choices as indicated below on this page. To
configure the port in DirectSOFT, choose the PLC menu, then Setup, then Setup Secondary
Comm Port.
• Port: From the port number list box at the
top, choose “Port 2.”
•P
 rotocol: Click the check box to the left
of “Remote I/O” (called “M–NET” on the
HPP), and then you’ll see the dialog box
shown below.
•S
 tation Number: Choose “0” as the station
number, which makes the DL250–1 or
DL260 the master. Station numbers 1–7
are reserved for remote slaves.
•B
 aud Rate: The baud rates 19200 and
38400 are available. Choose 38400
initially as the remote I/O baud rate, and
revert to 19200 baud if you experience
data errors or noise problems on the link.
• Memory Address: Choose a V-memory
address to use as the starting location of a
Remote I/O configuration table (V37700
is the default). This table is separate
and independent from the table for any
Remote Master(s) in the system, and it is
32 words in length.

Then click the button indicated to send the Port 2 configuration to the CPU, and click Close.
NOTE: You must configure the baud rate on the Remote Slaves with DIP switches to match the baud rate
selection for the CPU’s Port 2.

purpose is to minimize electrical reflections that occur over long cables. A termination resistor
must be present at both physical ends of the network.
Ideally, the two termination resistors at the cable’s opposite ends and the cable’s rated

Chapter 4: System Design and Configuration

Configure Remote I/O Slaves
After configuring the DL250–1 or DL260 CPU’s Port 2 and wiring it to the remote slave(s),
use the following checklist to complete the configuration of the remote slaves. Full instructions
for these steps are in the Remote I/O manual.
• Set the baud rate to match CPU’s Port 2 setting.
• Select a station address for each slave, from 1 to 7. Each device on the remote link must have
a unique station address. There can be only one master (address 0) on the remote link.

Configuring the Remote I/O Table
The beginning of the configuration table
for the built-in remote I/O channel is the
memory address we selected in the Port 2
setup.
The table consists of blocks of four words
which correspond to each slave in the
system, as shown to the right. The first
four table locations are reserved.
The CPU reads data from the table after
powerup, interpreting the four data words
in each block with these meanings:
1. Starting address of slave’s input data
2. Number of slave’s input points
3. Starting address of outputs in slave
4. Number of slave’s output points
The table is 32 words long. If your system
has fewer than seven remote slave bases,
then the remainder of the table must be
filled with zeros. For example, a three–slave
system will have a remote configuration
table containing four reserved words, 12
words of data and 16 words of “0000.”
A portion of the ladder program must
configure this table (only once) at powerup.
Use the LDA instruction as shown to the
right, to load an address to place in the
table. Use the regular LD constant to load
the number of the slave’s input or output
points. The following page gives a short
program example for one slave.

Consider the simple system featuring Remote I/O shown below. The DL250–1 or DL260’s
built-in Remote I/O channel connects to one slave base, which we will assign a station
address=1. The baud rates on the master and slave will be 38.4KB.
We can map the remote I/O points as any type of I/O point, simply by choosing the appropriate
range of V-memory. Since we have plenty of standard I/O addresses available (X and Y), we
will have the remote I/O points start at the next X and Y addresses after the main base points
(X60 and Y40, respectively).

When configuring a Remote I/O channel for
fewer than 7 slaves, we must fill the remainder
of the table with zeros. This is necessary
because the CPU will try to interpret any nonzero number as slave information.
We continue our set-up program from the
previous page by adding a segment which
fills the remainder of the table with zeros.
The example to the right fills zeros for slave
numbers 2–7, which do not exist in our

this contact after any Remote I/O set-up program.

Now we can verify the remote I/O link and
set-up program operation. A simple quick
check can be done with one rung of ladder,
shown to the right. It connects the first input

placing the PLC in RUN mode, we can go
to the remote base and activate its first input.
Then its first output should turn on.

This section describes how to configure the CPU’s built-in networking ports for either Modbus
or DirectNET. This will allow you to connect the DL205 PLC system directly to Modbus
networks using the RTU protocol, or to other devices on a DirectNET network. For more
details on DirectNET, order our DirectNET manual, part number DA–DNET–M.

Configuring Port 2 For Modbus RTU
 230
 240

Modbus hosts system on the network must be capable of issuing the Modbus commands to
read or write the appropriate data. For details on the Modbus protocol, please refer to the
Gould Modbus Protocol reference Guide (P1–MBUS–300 Rev. J). In the event a more recent
version is available, check with your Modbus supplier before ordering the documentation.
You will need to determine whether the network connection is a 3-wire RS–232 type, or a
5-wire RS–422 type. Normally, the RS–232 signals are used for shorter distance (15 meters
(50 feet) maximum) communications between two devices. RS–422 signals are for longer
distance (1000 meters (3280ft) maximum) multi-drop networks (from two to 247 devices).
Use termination resistors at both ends of RS–422 network wiring, matching the impedance
rating of the cable (between 100 and 500 ohms).

In DirectSOFT, choose the PLC menu, then Setup, then “Secondary Comm Port.”
• Port: From the port number list box at the top, choose “Port 2.”
• Protocol: Click the check box to the left of “MODBUS” (use AUX 56 on the HPP, and select
“MBUS”), and then you’ll see the dialog
box below.
• Timeout: The amount of time the port
will wait after it sends a message to get a
response before logging an error.
• RTS On Delay Time: The amount of time
between raising the RTS line and sending
the data.
• RTS Off Delay Time: The amount of
time between resetting the RTS line after
sending the data.
• Station Number: To make the CPU
port a Modbus master, choose “1.” The
possible range for Modbus slave numbers
is from 1 to 247, but the DL250–1 and
DL260 WX and RX network instructions
used in Master mode will access only
slaves 1 to 90. Each slave must have a
unique number. At powerup, the port is
automatically a slave, unless and until the
DL250–1 or DL260 executes ladder logic
network instructions which use the port
as a master. Thereafter, the port reverts
back to slave mode until ladder logic
uses the port again.

NOTE: The DL250–1 does not support the
Echo Suppression feature

• Baud Rate: The available baud rates include 300, 600, 900, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400
baud. Choose a higher baud rate initially, reverting to lower baud rates if you experience data errors
or noise problems on the network. Important: You must configure the baud rates of all devices on
the network to the same value. Refer to the appropriate product manual for details.
• Stop Bits: Choose 1 or 2 stop bits for use in the protocol.
• Parity: Choose none, even, or odd parity for error checking.
• Echo Suppression: Select the appropriate radio button based on the wiring configuration used on
port 2.

Then click the button indicated to send the Port configuration to the CPU, and click Close.

Network Slave Operation
 230
 240
 250-1
 260

This section describes how other devices on a network can communicate with a CPU port that
you have configured as a DirectNET slave (DL240/250–1/260) or Modbus slave (DL250–1,
DL260). A Modbus host must use the Modbus RTU protocol to communicate with the
DL250–1 or DL260 as a slave. The host software must send a Modbus function code and
Modbus address to specify a PLC memory location the DL250–1 or DL260 comprehends.
The DirectNET host uses normal I/O addresses to access applicable DL205 CPU and system.
No CPU ladder logic is required to support either Modbus slave or DirectNET slave operation.

Modbus Function Codes Supported

 230
 240

The Modbus function code determines whether the access is a read or a write, and whether to
access a single data point or a group of them. The DL250–1 and DL260 support the Modbus
function codes described below.

Determining the Modbus Address
There are typically two ways that most host software conventions allow you to specify a PLC
memory location. These are:
• By specifying the Modbus data type and address
• By specifying a Modbus address only.

If Your Host Software Requires the Data Type and Address
Many Host software packages allow you to specify the Modbus data type and the Modbus
address that correspond to the PLC memory location. This is the easiest method, but not all
packages allow you to do it this way.
The actual equation used to calculate the address depends on the type of PLC data you are
using. The PLC memory types are split into two categories for this purpose.
• Discrete – X, SP, Y, C, S, T (contacts), CT (contacts)
• Word – V, Timer current value, Counter current value

In either case, you basically convert the PLC octal address to decimal and add the appropriate
Modbus address (if required). The table on the following page shows the exact equation used
for each group of data.
NOTE: For information about the Modbus protocol see www.Modbus.org and select Technical Resources.

If Your Modbus Host Software Requires an Address ONLY
Some host software does not allow you to specify the Modbus data type and address. Instead,
you specify an address only. This method requires another step to determine the address, but
it is not difficult. Basically, Modbus separates the data types by address ranges as well. So
this means an address alone can actually describe the type of data and location. This is often
referred to as “adding the offset.” One important thing to remember here is that two different
addressing modes may be available in your host software package. These are:
• 484 Mode
• 584/984 Mode

We recommend that you use the 584/984 addressing mode if your host software allows you
to choose. This is because the 584/984 mode allows access to a higher number of memory
locations within each data type. If your software only supports 484 mode, then there may be
some PLC memory locations that will be unavailable. The actual equation used to calculate
the address depends on the type of PLC data you are using. The PLC memory types are split
into two categories for this purpose.
• Discrete – X, GX, SP, Y, R, S, T, CT (contacts), C (contacts)
• Word – V, Timer current value, Counter current value

In either case, you basically convert the PLC octal address to decimal and add the appropriate
Modbus addresses (as required). The table below shows the exact equation used for each group
of data.

*Modbus: Function 04
The DL-250 supports function 04 read input register (Address 30001). To use function 04,
put the number ‘4’ into the most significant position (4xxx) when defining the number of
bytes to read. Four digits must be entered for the instruction to work properly with this mode.

LD

LD

LDA

K101

K4128

The maximum constant possible is 4128. This
is due to the 128 maximum number of Bytes
that the RX/WX instruction can allow. The
value of 4 in the most significant position of
the word will cause the RX to use function 04
(30001 range).

O4000

Refer to your PLC user manual for the correct memory size of your PLC. Some of the addresses
shown above might not pertain to your particular CPU.

Determining the DirectNET Address
Addressing the memory types for DirectNET slaves is very easy. Use the ordinary native
address of the slave device itself. To access a slave PLC’s memory address V2000 via
DirectNET, for example, the network master will request V2000 from the slave.

This section describes how the DL250–1 and DL260 can communicate on a Modbus or
DirectNET network as a master. For Modbus networks, it uses the Modbus RTU protocol,
which must be interpreted by all the slaves on the network. Both Modbus and DirectNET are
single master/multiple slave networks. The master is the only member of the network that can
initiate requests on the network. This section teaches you how to design the required ladder
logic for network master operation.

Master

Slave #1

Slave #2

Slave #3

Modbus RTU Protocol, or DirectNET

When using the DL250–1 or DL260 CPU
as the master station, you use simple RLL
Master
instructions to initiate the requests. The
WX instruction initiates network write
operations, and the RX instruction initiates
network read operations. Before executing
Slave
either the WX or RX commands, we will
need to load data related to the read or write
WX (write)
operation onto the CPU’s accumulator
stack. When the WX or RX instruction
RX (read)
executes, it uses the information on the stack
combined with data in the instruction box
Network
to completely define the task, which goes to
the port.
The following step-by-step procedure will provide the information necessary to set up your
ladder program to receive data from a network slave.

Step 1: Identify Master Port # and Slave #
The first Load (LD) instruction identifies the
communications port number on the network
master (DL250-1/260) and the address of the
slave station. This instruction can address up
to 99 Modbus slaves, or 90 DirectNET slaves.
The format of the word is shown to the right.
The “F1” in the upper byte indicates the use of
the bottom port of the DL250-1/260 PLC, port
number 2. The lower byte contains the slave
address number in BCD (01 to 99).

Step 2: Load Number of Bytes to Transfer

The second Load (LD) instruction determines
the number of bytes which will be transferred
# of bytes to transfer
between the master and slave in the subsequent
WX or RX instruction. The value to be loaded is
LD
in BCD format (decimal), from 1 to 128 bytes.
K128
The number of bytes specified also depends on
the type of data you want to obtain. For example, the DL205 Input points can be accessed by
V-memory locations or as X input locations. However, if you only want X0 – X27, you’ll have
to use the X input data type because the V-memory locations can only be accessed in 2-byte
increments. The following table shows the byte ranges for the various types of DirectLOGIC™
products.

Step 3: Specify Master Memory Area
The third instruction in the RX or WX sequence is
a Load Address (LDA) instruction. Its purpose is to
load the starting address of the memory area to be
transferred. Entered as an octal number, the LDA
instruction converts it to hex and places the result
in the accumulator.
For a WX instruction, the DL250-1/260 CPU
sends the number of bytes previously specified from
its memory area beginning at the LDA address
specified.
For an RX instruction, the DL250-1/260 CPU
reads the number of bytes previously specified from
the slave, placing the received data into its memory
area beginning at the LDA address specified.

NOTE: Since V-memory words are always 16 bits, you may not always use the whole word. For example,
if you only specify 3 bytes and you are reading Y outputs from the slave, you will only get 24 bits of data.
In this case, only the 8 least significant bits of the last word location will be modified. The remaining 8 bits
are not affected.

Step 4: Specify Slave Memory Area
The last instruction in our sequence is the WX
or RX instruction itself. Use WX to write to the
slave, and RX to read from the slave. All four of
our instructions are shown to the right. In the last
instruction, you must specify the starting address
and a valid data type for the slave.

Communications from a Ladder Program
Typically, network communications will last
Port Communication Error
longer than one scan. The program must
wait for the communications to finish before SP117

starting the next transaction.
SET
Port 2, which can be a master, has two
Special Relay contacts associated with it. SP116
LD
KF201
One indicates “Port busy”(SP116), and
the other indicates ”Port Communication

Error”(SP117). The example shows the use
K3
of these contacts for a network master that
only reads a device (RX). The “Port Busy”
LDA
O40600
bit is on while the PLC communicates with
the slave. When the bit is off, the program
RX
can initiate the next network request.
Y0
The “Port Communication Error” bit turns
on when the PLC has detected an error. Use
of this bit is optional. When used, it should be ahead of any network instruction boxes since
the error bit is reset when an RX or WX instruction is executed.

Multiple Read and Write Interlocks
If you are using multiple reads and writes in the RLL
program, you have to interlock the routines to make
sure all the routines are executed. If you don’t use the
interlocks, then the CPU will only execute the first
routine. This is because each port can only handle
one transaction at a time.
In the example to the right, after the RX instruction
is executed, C100 is set. When the port has finished
the communication task, the second routine is
executed and C100 is reset.
If you’re using RLLPLUS Stage Programming, you
can put each routine in a separate program stage to
ensure proper execution and switch from stage to
stage allowing only one of them to be active at a time.

Modbus Port Configuration
In DirectSOFT, choose the PLC menu, then Setup, then “Secondary Comm Port.”


 240
 250-1
 260
230

• Port: From the port number list box at the top, choose “Port 2.”
• Protocol: Click the check box to the left of “MODBUS” (use AUX 56 on the HPP, and select
“MBUS”), and then you’ll see the dialog box below.
• Timeout: Amount of time the port will wait after it sends a message to get a response before logging
an error.

• RTS On Delay Time: The amount of time between raising the RTS line and sending the data.
• RTS Off Delay Time: The amount of time between resetting the RTS line after sending the data.
• Station Number: For making the CPU port a Modbus master, choose “1.” The possible range for
Modbus slave numbers is from 1 to 247. Each slave must have a unique number. At powerup, the
port is automatically a slave, unless and until the DL06 executes ladder logic MWX/MRX network
instructions which use the port as a master. Thereafter, the port reverts back to slave mode until
ladder logic uses the port again.
• Baud Rate: The available baud rates include 300, 600, 900, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400
baud. Choose a higher baud rate initially, reverting to lower baud rates if you experience data errors
or noise problems on the network. Important: You must configure the baud rates of all devices on
the network to the same value. Refer to the appropriate product manual for details.
• Stop Bits: Choose 1 or 2 stop bits for use in the protocol.
• Parity: Choose none, even, or odd parity for error checking.
• Echo Suppression: Select the appropriate radio button based on the wiring configuration used on
port 2.

Then click the button indicated to send the Port configuration to the CPU, and click Close.

The Modbus Write to Network (MWX) instruction is used to write a block of data from the
network master (DL260) memory to Modbus memory addresses within a slave device on the
network. The instruction allows the user to specify the Modbus Function Code, slave station
address, starting master and slave memory addresses, number of elements to transfer, Modbus
data format and the Exception Response Buffer.
•

Port Number: must be DL260 Port 2 (K2).
• Slave Address: specify a slave station address (0–247).
• Function Code: the MWX instruction supports the following Modbus function codes:
05 – Force Single coil
06 – Preset Single Register
08 – Diagnostics
15 – Force Multiple Coils
16 – Preset Multiple Registers
• Start Slave Memory Address: specifies the starting slave memory address where the data will be
written.
• Start Master Memory Address: specifies the starting address of the data in the master that is to
written to the slave.
• Number of Elements: specifies how many consecutive coils or registers will be written to. This
field is only active when either function code 15 or 16 is selected.
• Modbus Data Format: specifies Modbus 584/984 or 484 data format to be used.
• Exception Response Buffer: specifies the master memory address where the Exception Response
will be placed.

MRX/MWX Example in DirectSOFT
DL260 port 2 has two Special Relay contacts associated with it (see Appendix D for comm
port special relays). One indicates “Port busy”(SP116), and the other indicates ”Port
Communication Error”(SP117). The “Port Busy” bit is on while the PLC communicates with
the slave. When the bit is off, the program can initiate the next network request. The “Port
Communication Error” bit turns on when the PLC has detected an error and use of this bit is
optional. When used, it should be ahead of any network instruction boxes since the error bit
is reset when an MRX or MWX instruction is executed. Typically, network communications
will last longer than one CPU scan. The program must wait for the communications to finish
before starting the next transaction.
The “Port Communication Error” bit turns on when the PLC has detected an error. Use of
this bit is optional. When used, it should be ahead of any network instruction boxes since the
error bit is reset when an RX or WX instruction is executed.

Multiple Read and Write Interlocks
SP116 will execute every time it attempts to poll the network. You should see this
counting up as you enable the MWX and MRX instructions. Some things that would
prevent this: 1) Com Port RTS and CTS not jumpered. 2) Port not set up for Modbus
RTU. 3) Problem in logic that is not allowing the MWX or MRX to enable.

SP117 will come on when: 1) The slave device sends an "Exception Response." If this
occurs, look at the V-memory location associated with that instruction and consult the
MODICON Modbus manual for details. 2) Cabling problem. Consult wiring diagram in
user manual and verify. 3) Setting for communications are not matching. For example:
Baud rates, parities, stop bits all must match. 4) Polling a slave address number that
doesn't exist.
Under good conditions, SP116 will be counting up and SP117 will not. You will get an
occasional error in many field environments that introduce electrical/RF noise into the
application. Each application will dictate what allowable "percentage" of error is
acceptable. Anything below 10% typically does not affect the throughput very much.

Chapter 4: System Design and Configuration
If you are using multiple reads and writes in the RLL program, you need to interlock the
routines to make sure all the routines are executed. If you don’t use the interlocks, then
the CPU will only execute the first routine. This is because each port can only handle one
transaction at a time. In the example, rungs 3 and 4 show that C100 will get set after the RX
instruction has been executed. When the port has finished the communication task, the second
routine is executed and C100 is reset. If you’re using RLLPLUS Stage Programming, you can
put each routine in a separate program stage to ensure proper execution and switch from stage
to stage allowing only one of them to be active at a time.

This rung does a Modbus write to the first holding register 40001 of slave address number one.
It writes the values over that reside in V2000. This particular function code only writes to one
register. Use function code 16 to write to multiple registers. Only one Network Instruction
(WX, RX, MWX, MRX) can be enabled in one scan. That is the reason for the interlock bits. For using
many network instructions on the same port, use the Shift Register instruction.

Introduction
The DL205 CPUs offer a wide variety of instructions to perform many different types of
operations. Several instructions are not available in all of the CPUs. This chapter shows you
how to use these individual instructions. There are two ways to quickly find the instruction
you need:
• If you know the instruction category (Boolean, Comparative Boolean, etc), use the header at the top
of the page to find the pages that discuss the instructions in that category.
• If you know the individual instruction name, use the following table to find the page that discusses
the instruction.

Using Boolean Instructions

The following paragraphs show how these instructions are used to build simple ladder programs. 7
END Statement
All DL205 programs require an END statement as the last instruction. This tells the CPU that 8
this is the end of the program. Normally, any instructions placed after the END statement
will not be executed. There are exceptions to this such as interrupt routines, etc. Chapter 5 9
discusses the instruction set in detail.
10
11
12
13
Simple Rungs
You use a contact to start rungs that contain both contacts and coils. The boolean instruction
that does this is called a Store or, STR instruction. The output point is represented by the 14
Output or, OUT instruction. The following example shows how to enter a single contact and
a single output coil.
A
B
C
D
Do you ever wonder why so many PLC manufacturers always quote the scan time for a 1K
boolean program? Simple, most programs utilize many boolean instructions. These are
typically very simple instructions designed to join input and output contacts in various series
and parallel combinations. Our DirectSOFT programming package is a similar program. It
uses graphic symbols to develop a program; therefore, you don’t necessarily have to know the
instruction mnemonics in order to develop your program.
Many of the instructions in this chapter are not program instructions used in DirectSOFT, but
are implied. In other words, they are not actually keyboard commands but they can be seen
in a Mnemonic View of the program once the DirectSOFT program has been developed and
accepted (compiled). Each instruction listed in this chapter will have a small chart to indicate
how the instruction is used with DirectSOFT and the HPP.

Joining Parallel Branches in Series

You can also join one or more parallel branches in series. The And Store (ANDSTR) instruction

You may also have to join contacts in parallel. The OR instruction allows you to do this. The
following example shows two contacts in parallel and a single output coil. The instructions
would be STR X0, OR X1, followed by OUT Y0.

Comparative Boolean
The DL205 Micro PLCs provide Comparative Boolean instructions that allow you to quickly
and easily solve compare two numbers. The Comparative Boolean provides evaluation of two
4-digit values using boolean contacts. The valid evaluations are: equal to, not equal to, equal
to or greater than, and less than.
In the example ,when the BCD value in V-memory location V1400 is equal to the constant
value 1234, Y3 will energize.
Y3
V1400 K1234
OUT

Boolean Stack

There are limits to how many elements you can
include in a rung. This is because the DL205 CPUs use an 8-level boolean stack to evaluate
the various logic elements. The boolean stack is a temporary storage area that solves the logic
for the rung. Each time you enter a STR instruction, the instruction is placed on the top
of the boolean stack. Any other STR instructions on the boolean stack are pushed down a
level. The ANDSTR, and ORSTR instructions combine levels of the boolean stack when they
are encountered. Since the boolean stack is only eight levels, an error will occur if the CPU
encounters a rung that uses more than the eight levels of the boolean stack.
The following example shows how the boolean stack is used to solve boolean logic.

Immediate Boolean

NOTE: Even though the immediate input instruction reads the most current status from the input point, it only
uses the results to solve that one instruction. It does not use the new status to update the image register. 5
Therefore, any regular instructions that follow will still use the image register values. Any immediate
instructions that follow will access the I/O again to update the status. The immediate output instruction will 6
write the status to the I/O and update the image register.

The DL205 Micro PLCs can usually complete an operation cycle in a matter of milliseconds.
However, in some applications you may not be able to wait a few milliseconds until the next
I/O update occurs. The DL205 PLCs offer immediate input and outputs which are special
boolean instructions that allow reading directly from inputs and writing directly to outputs
during the program execution portion of the CPU cycle. You may recall that this is normally
done during the input or output update portion of the CPU cycle. The immediate instructions
take longer to execute because the program execution is interrupted while the CPU reads or
writes the I/O point. This function is not normally done until the read inputs or the write
outputs portion of the CPU cycle.

In the following Out example, the program contains two Out instructions using the same

The Out instruction reflects the status of the rung

the physical output point. Instead, use the next
instruction, the Or Out.

the state of the associated image register point makes
an off-to-on transition. Thereafter, the contact
remains open until the next off-to-on transition (the
symbol inside the contact represents the transition). This function is sometimes called a “oneshot.” ‘This contact will also close on a program-to-run transition if it is within a retentive range
and on before the PLC mode transition.

The Out Immediate instruction reflects the status of the
rung (on/off) and outputs the discrete (on/off) status to the
specified module output point and the image register at the
time the instruction is executed. If multiple Out Immediate
instructions referencing the same discrete point are used, it
is possible for the module output status to change multiple
times in a CPU scan. See Or Out Immediate.

The Or Out Immediate instruction has been designed
to use more than one rung of discrete logic to control a
single output. Multiple Or Out Immediate instructions
referencing the same output coil may be used, since all
contacts controlling the output are ORed together. If
the status of any rung is on at the time the instruction is
executed, the output will also be on.

Timer, Counter and Shift Register Instructions

1
Timers are used to time an event for a desired length of time. The single input timer will time
as long as the input is on. When the input changes from on to off, the timer current value 2
is reset to 0. There is a tenth of a second and a hundredth of a second timer available with a
maximum time of 999.9 and 99.99 seconds respectively. A discrete bit is associated with each 3
timer to indicate that the current value is equal to or greater than the preset value. The timing
diagram below shows the relationship between the timer input, associated discrete bit, current
4
value, and timer preset.

Some applications that need an accumulating timer, meaning it has the ability to time, stop,
and then resume from where it previously stopped. The accumulating timer works similarly 10
to the regular timer, but two inputs are required. The enable input starts and stops the timer.
When the timer stops, the elapsed time is maintained. When the timer starts again, the timing 11
continues from the elapsed time. When the reset input is turned on, the elapsed time is cleared
and the timer will start at 0 when it is restarted. A tenth of a second and a hundredth of
a second timers are available with a maximum time of 9999999.9 and 999999.99 seconds 12
respectively. The timing diagram below shows the relationship between the timer input, timer
reset, associated discrete bit, current value, and timer preset.

The Timer instruction is a 0.1 second single-input timer
that times to a maximum of 999.9 seconds. The Timer Fast
instruction is a 0.01 second single input timer that times up
to a maximum of 99.99 seconds. These timers will be enabled
if the input logic is true (on) and will be reset to 0 if the input
logic is false (off).

NOTE: Both the Timer discrete status bits and the current value are accessed with the same data reference

“TA2” for the current value of Timer T2.

You can perform functions when the timer reaches the specified preset using the discrete status
bit. Or, use the comparative contacts to perform functions at different time intervals based on
one timer. The examples on the following page show these methods of programming timers.

Instruction Specifications
Counter Reference (CTaaa): Specifies the counter number.
Preset Value (Bbbb): Constant value (K) or a V-memory location.(Pointer (P) for DL240,
DL250-1 and DL260.)
Current Values: Counter current values are accessed by referencing the associated V or CT
memory locations.* The V-memory location is the counter location + 1000. For example, the
counter current value for CT3 resides in V-memory location V1003.
Discrete Status Bit: The discrete status bit is accessed by referencing the associated CT memory
location. It will be on if the value is equal to or greater than the preset value. For example, the
discrete status bit for Counter 2 would be CT2.

NOTE: When using a counter inside a stage, the stage must be active for one scan before the input to the
counter makes a 0-1 transition. Otherwise, there is no real transition and the counter will not count.
NOTE: A V-memory preset is required only if the ladder program or an OIT must used to change the preset.

DL240, DL250-1 and DL260).
Current Values: Current count is a double word value
accessed by referencing the associated V or CT memory locations. The V-memory location
is the counter location + 1000. For example, the counter current value for CT5 resides in
V-memory location V1005 and V1006.
Discrete Status Bit: The discrete status bit is accessed by referencing the associated CT memory
location. It will be on if the value is equal to or greater than the preset value. For example, the
discrete status bit for Counter 2 would be CT2.
NOTE: The UDC uses two consecutive V-memory locations for the 8-digit value, therefore two consecutive
counter locations. For example, if UDC CT1 is used, the next available counter number is CT3.
NOTE: A V-memory preset is required only if the ladder program or an OIT must be used to change the preset.

• Clock — shifts the bits one position on each low to high

• Reset —resets the Shift Register to all zeros.

With each off-to-on transition of the clock input, the bits which make up the shift register
block are shifted by one bit position and the status of the data input is placed into the starting
bit position in the shift register. The direction of the shift depends on the entry in the From
and To fields. From C0 to C17 would define a block of 16 bits to be shifted from left to
right. From C17 to C0 would define a block of 16 bits, to be shifted from right to left. The
maximum size of the shift register block depends on the number of available control relays.
The minimum block size is 8 control relays.

Accumulator/Stack Load and Output Data Instructions

1
The accumulator in the DL205 series CPUs is a 32-bit register that is used as a temporary
storage location for data that is being copied or manipulated in some manner. For example, you 2
have to use the accumulator to perform math operations, such as, add, subtract, multiply, etc.
Since there are 32 bits, you can use up to an 8-digit BCD number or a 32-bit 2’s compliment 3
number. The accumulator is reset to 0 at the end of every CPU scan.
4
Copying Data to the Accumulator
The Load and Out instructions and their variations are used to copy data from a V-memory
location to the accumulator, or to copy data from the accumulator to V-memory. The 5
following example copies data from V-memory location V1400 to V-memory location V1410.
6
7
8
9
10
Since the accumulator is 32 bits and V-memory locations are 16 bits, the Load Double and 11
Out Double (or variations thereof) use two consecutive V-memory locations or 8-digit BCD
constants to copy data either to the accumulator from a V-memory address or from a V-memory
address to the accumulator. For example, if you wanted to copy data from V1400 and V1401 12
to V1410 and V1411, the most efficient way to perform this function would be as follows:

Using the Accumulator Stack
The accumulator stack is used for instructions that require more than one parameter to
execute a function or for user-defined functionality. The accumulator stack is used when more
than one Load instruction is executed without the use of an Out instruction. The first Load
instruction in the scan places a value into the accumulator. Every Load instruction thereafter
without the use of an Out instruction places a value into the accumulator and the value that
was in the accumulator is placed onto the accumulator stack. The Out instruction nullifies the
previous Load instruction and does not place the value that was in the accumulator onto the
accumulator stack when the next Load instruction is executed. Every time a value is placed
onto the accumulator stack, the other values in the stack are pushed down one location. The
accumulator is eight levels deep (eight 32-bit registers). If there is a value in the eighth location
when a new value is placed onto the stack, the value in the eighth location is pushed off the
stack and cannot be recovered.

a POP is executed, the value that was in the accumulator is cleared and the value that was on
top of the stack is in the accumulator. The values in the stack are shifted up one position in

Changing the Accumulator Data
Instructions that manipulate data also use the accumulator. The result of the manipulated
data resides in the accumulator. The data that was being manipulated is cleared from the
accumulator. The following example loads the constant value 4935 into the accumulator,
shifts the data right 4 bits, and outputs the result to V1410.

Using Pointers

1
2
NOTE: In the DL205, V-memory addressing is in octal. However the value in the pointer location which will 3
reference a V-memory location is viewed as HEX. Use the Load Address instruction to move an address into
the pointer location. This instruction performs the Octal to Hexadecimal conversion for you.
4
The following example uses a pointer operand in a Load instruction. V-memory location
3000 is the pointer location. V3000 contains the value 400, which is the HEX equivalent of 5
the Octal address V-memory location V2000. The CPU copies the data from V2000 into the
lower word of the accumulator.
6
7
8
9
10
The following example is similar to the one above, except for the LDA (load address) instruction,
which automatically converts the Octal address to the Hex equivalent.
11
12
13
14
A
B
C
D
Many of the DL205 series instructions will allow V-memory pointers as an operand. Pointers
can be useful in ladder logic programming, but can be difficult to understand or implement
in your application if you do not have prior experience with pointers (commonly known as
indirect addressing). Pointers allow instructions to obtain data from V-memory locations
referenced by the pointer value.

Load Accumulator Indexed is a 16-bit instruction that specifies
a source address (V-memory) which will be offset by the value in
LDX
the first stack location. This instruction interprets the value in
A aaa
the first stack location as HEX. The value in the offset address
(source address + offset) is loaded into the lower 16 bits of the
accumulator. The upper 16 bits of the accumulator are set to 0.
Helpful hint: — The Load Address instruction can be used to convert an octal address to a
HEX address and load the value into the accumulator.

LDR

DirectSOFT allows you to enter real numbers directly,
R3.14159
by using the leading “R” to indicate a real number
entry. You can enter a constant such as Pi, shown in
the example to the right. To enter negative numbers,
LDR
use a minus (–) after the “R”.
R5.3E6
For very large numbers or very small numbers, you can
use exponential notation. The number to the right is
OUTD
5.3 million. The OUTD instruction stores it in V1400
V1400
and V1401.
These real numbers are in the IEEE 32-bit floating point format, so they occupy two V-memory
locations, regardless of how big or small the number may be! If you view a stored real number in
hex, binary, or even BCD, the number shown will be very difficult to decipher. Just like all
other number types, you must keep track of real number locations in memory, so they can be
read with the proper instructions later.
The previous example above stored a real number in V1400
and V1401. Suppose that now we want to retrieve that
LDR
number. Just use the Load Real with the V data type, as
V1400
shown to the right. Next we could perform real math on it,
or convert it to a binary number.

The Out Indexed instruction is a 16-bit instruction. It
copies a 16-bit or 4-digit value from the first level of the
accumulator stack to a source address offset by the value
in the accumulator (V-memory + offset). This instruction
interprets the offset value as a HEX number. The upper 16
bits of the accumulator are set to zero.

In the following example, when X1 is on, the constant value 3544 is loaded into the
accumulator. This is the value that will be output to the specified offset V-memory location
(V1525). The value 3544 will be placed onto the stack when the Load Address instruction
is executed. Remember, two consecutive Load instructions places the value of the first load
instruction onto the stack. The Load Address instruction converts octal 25 to HEX 15 and
places the value in the accumulator. The Out Indexed instruction outputs the value 3544,
which resides in the first level of the accumulator stack to V1525.

The And instruction is a 16-bit instruction that logically
2
ANDs the value in the lower 16 bits of the accumulator with a
specified V-memory location (Aaaa). The result resides in the
accumulator. The discrete status flag indicates if the result of
3
the And is zero.

The And with Stack instruction is a 32-bit instruction that
logically ANDs the value in the accumulator with the first level
of the accumulator stack. The result resides in the accumulator.
The value in the first level of the accumulator stack is removed
from the stack and all values are moved up one level. Discrete
status flags indicate if the result of the And with Stack is zero or
a negative number (the most significant bit is on).

The Or with Stack instruction is a 32-bit instruction that
logically ORs the value in the accumulator with the first
level of the accumulator stack. The result resides in the
accumulator. The value in the first level of the accumulator
stack is removed from the stack and all values are moved up
one level. Discrete status flags indicate if the result of the Or
with Stack is zero or a negative number (the most significant
bit is on).

Exclusive Or with Stack (XORS)
The Exclusive Or with Stack instruction is a 32-bit
instruction that performs an Exclusive Or of the value in
the accumulator with the first level of the accumulator
stack. The result resides in the accumulator. The value in
the first level of the accumulator stack is removed from the
stack and all values are moved up one level. Discrete status
flags indicate if the result of the Exclusive Or with Stack is
zero or a negative number (the most significant bit is on).

Add Real is a 32-bit instruction that adds a real number, which is
either two consecutive V-memory locations or a 32-bit constant,
to a real number in the accumulator. Both numbers must conform
to the IEEE floating point format. The result is a 32-bit real
number that resides in the accumulator.

The Add Binary instruction adds a 16-bit number (Aaaa)
to the value stored in the accumulator. The number in the
ADDB
accumulator can be up to 32 bits long. The source of the
A aaa
16-bit operand can be a constant or a data value located in
V-memory. Add Binary performs the addition operation on the
full binary representation of the operands, which distinguishes
it from the Add instruction (see page 5-88), which treats the operands as BCD numbers.
Although the addition operation is performed on the underlying binary values, the native
display format is hexadecimal. For that reason you will need to load constants in hex.
The sum of the Add Binary operation occupies the full 32-bit accumulator and requires an Out
Double to move the sum to V-memory. If the value in the accumulator occupies fewer than 32
bits, leading zeros are loaded in the left-most empty bit positions.

The Multiply Binary instruction multiplies a 16-bit number
MULB
A(aaa) by the value stored in the accumulator. The number
A aaa
in the accumulator can be up to 32 bits long. The source of
the 16-bit operand can be a constant or a data value located
in V-memory. Multiply Binary performs the multiplication operation on the full binary
representation of the operands, which distinguishes it from the Multiply instruction (see page
5-94), which treats the operands as BCD numbers. Although the multiplication operation is
performed on the underlying binary values, the native display format is hexadecimal. For that
reason, you will need to load constants in hex.
The product of the Multiply Binary operation occupies the full 32-bit accumulator and requires
an Out Double to move the product to V-memory. If the value in the accumulator occupies
fewer than 32 bits, leading zeros are loaded in the left-most empty bit positions.

The Divide Binary instruction divides a 16-bit number
DIVB
(Aaaa) into the value stored in the accumulator. The number
A aaa
in the accumulator can be up to 32 bits long. The source of
the 16-bit divisor can be a constant or a data value located
in V-memory. Divide Binary performs the division operation on the full binary representation
of the operands, which distinguishes it from the Divide instruction (see page 5-97), which
treats the operands as BCD numbers. Although the division operation is performed on the
underlying binary values, the native display format is hexadecimal. For that reason you will
need to load constants in hex.
At the completion of the division operation, the quotient resides in the accumulator and the
remainder resides in the first stack location.
The quotient occupies the full 32-bit accumulator and requires an Out Double to move the
quotient to V-memory. If the value in the accumulator occupies fewer than 32 bits, leading
zeros are loaded in the left-most empty bit positions.

Subtract Binary Top of Stack (SUBBS)
Subtract Binary Top of Stack is a 32-bit instruction that
subtracts the binary value in the first level of the accumulator
stack from the binary value in the accumulator. The result
resides in the accumulator. The value in the first level of
the accumulator stack is removed, and all stack locations are
moved up one level.

NOTE: Status flags are valid only until another instruction uses the same flag.

In the following example, when X1 is on, the value in V1400 and V1401 will be loaded into
the accumulator using the Load Double instruction. The value in V1420 and V1421 is loaded
into the accumulator using the Load Double instruction, pushing the value previously loaded
in the accumulator onto the accumulator stack. The binary value in the first level of the
accumulator stack is subtracted from the binary value in the accumulator using the Subtract
Stack instruction. The value in the accumulator is copied to V1500 and V1501 using the Out
Double instruction.

Transcendental Functions (DL260 only)
 230

 260
DS Used
HPP N/A

The DL260 CPU features special numerical functions to complement its real number
capability. The transcendental functions include the trigonometric sine, cosine, and tangent,
and also their inverses (arc sine, arc cosine, and arc tangent). The square root function is also
grouped with these other functions.
The transcendental math instructions operate on a real number in the accumulator (it cannot
be BCD or binary). The real number result resides in the accumulator. The square root
function operates on the full range of positive real numbers. The sine, cosine and tangent
functions require numbers expressed in radians. You can work with angles expressed in degrees
by first converting them to radians with the Radian (RADR) instruction, then performing the
trig function. All transcendental functions utilize the following flag bits.

The following example takes the sine of 45 degrees. Since these transcendental functions
operate only on real numbers, we do a LDR (Load Real) 45. The trig functions operate only
in radians, so we must convert the degrees to radians by using the RADR command. After
using the SINR (Sine Real) instruction, we use an OUTD (Out Double) instruction to move
the result from the accumulator to V-memory. The result is 32-bits wide, requiring the Out
Double to move it.

DS Used

The Encode instruction encodes the bit position in the
ENCO
accumulator having a value of 1, and returns the appropriate
binary representation. If the most significant bit is set to
1 (Bit 31), the Encode instruction would place the value
HEX 1F (decimal 31) in the accumulator. If the value to be
encoded is 0000 or 0001, the instruction will place a zero in the accumulator. If the value to
be encoded has more than one bit position set to a “1”, the least significant “1” will be encoded
and SP53 will be set on.

In the following example, when X1 is on, The value in V2000 is loaded into the accumulator
using the Load instruction. The bit position set to a “1” in the accumulator is encoded to the
corresponding 5-bit binary value using the Encode instruction. The value in the lower 16 bits

The Decode instruction decodes a 5-bit binary value of 0 to 31
DECO
(0 to 1F HEX) in the accumulator by setting the appropriate bit
position to a 1. If the accumulator contains the value F (HEX),
bit 15 will be set in the accumulator. If the value to be decoded
is greater than 31, the number is divided by 32 until the value is
less than 32 and then the value is decoded.
In the following example, when X1 is on, the value formed by discrete locations X10–X14 is
loaded into the accumulator using the Load Formatted instruction. The 5-bit binary pattern in
the accumulator is decoded by setting the corresponding bit position to a “1” using the Decode

The two instructions described above convert real numbers in
the accumulator from degree format to radian format, and visaversa. In degree format, a circle contains 360 degrees. In radian format, a circle contains 2
P. These convert between both positive and negative real numbers, and for angles greater
than a full circle. These functions are very useful when combined with the transcendental
trigonometric functions (see the section on math instructions).

On anytime a floating point math operation results in an underflow error
On when a BCD instruction is executed and a NON-BCD number was encountered

NOTE: The current HPP does not support real number entry with automatic conversion to the 32-bit IEEE
format. You must use DirectSOFT for entering real numbers, using the LDR (Load Real) instruction.

The following example takes the sine of 45 degrees. Since transcendental functions operate
only on real numbers, we do a LDR (Load Real) 45. The trig functions operate only in radians,
so we must convert the degrees to radians by using the RADR command. After using the SINR
(Sine Real) instruction, we use an OUTD (Out Double) instruction to move the result from
the accumulator to V-memory. The result is 32-bits wide, requiring the Out Double to move
it.

This means an ASCII table of four V-memory locations would only require two V-memory
locations for the equivalent HEX table. The function parameters are loaded into the 3
accumulator stack and the accumulator by two additional instructions. Listed below are the
steps necessary to program an ASCII to HEX table function. The example on the following 4
page shows a program for the ASCII to HEX table function.
Step 1: L
 oad the number of V-memory locations for the ASCII table into the first level of the
5
accumulator stack.
Step 2:Load the starting V-memory location for the ASCII table into the accumulator. This
6
parameter must be a HEX value.
Step 3:Specify the starting V-memory location (Vaaa) for the HEX table in the ATH instruction.
Helpful hint: — For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations, 7
the LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load
the value into the accumulator.

require four V-memory locations for the equivalent ASCII table. The function parameters are
loaded into the accumulator stack and the accumulator by two additional instructions. Listed
below are the steps necessary to program a HEX to ASCII table function. The example on the
following page shows a program for the HEX to ASCII table function.
Step 1: L
 oad the number of V-memory locations in the HEX table into the first level of the
accumulator stack.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the HEX table into the accumulator. This
parameter must be a HEX value.
Step 3: S pecify the starting V-memory location (Vaaa) for the ASCII table in the HTA instruction.

Helpful hint: — For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations,
the LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load
the value into the accumulator.

The Gray code instruction converts a 16-bit gray code value
GRAY
to a BCD value. The BCD conversion requires 10 bits of the
accumulator. The upper 22 bits are set to “0.” This instruction
is designed for use with devices (typically encoders) that use
the grey code numbering scheme. The Gray Code instruction
will directly convert a gray code number to a BCD number
for devices having a resolution of 512 or 1024 counts per
revolution. If a device having a resolution of 360 counts per
revolution is to be used, you must subtract a BCD value of 76
from the converted value to obtain the proper result. For a
device having a resolution of 720 counts per revolution, you
must subtract a BCD value of 152.
In the following example, when X1 is ON the binary value represented by X10–X27 is loaded
into the accumulator using the Load Formatted instruction. The gray code value in the
accumulator is converted to BCD using the Gray Code instruction. The value in the lower 16
bits of the accumulator is copied to V2010.

Step 2: Load the order that the digits will be shuffled to into the accumulator.
Step 3: Insert the SFLDGT instruction.
NOTE: If the number used to specify the order contains a 0 or 9–F, the corresponding position will be set
to 0.

See example on the next page.
NOTE: If the number used to specify the order contains duplicate numbers, the most significant duplicate
number is valid. The result resides in the accumulator.

Example A shows how the shuffle digits works when 0 or 9 –F is not used when specifying the
order the digits are to be shuffled. Also, there are no duplicate numbers in the specified order.
Example B shows how the shuffle digits works when a 0 or 9–F is used when specifying the
order the digits are to be shuffled. Notice when the Shuffle Digits instruction is executed, the
bit positions in the first stack location that had a corresponding 0 or 9–F in the accumulator

The following description applies to both the Set Bit and Reset Bit table instructions.
Step 1: L
 oad the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. This parameter
must be a HEX value. You can use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to hex.
Step 3: I nsert the Set Bit or Reset Bit instruction. This specifies the reference for the bit number of
the bit you want to set or reset. The bit number is in octal, and the first bit in the table is
number “0.”

Helpful hint: — Remember that each V-memory location contains 16 bits. So, the bits of the
first word of the table are numbered from 0 to 17 octal. For example, if the table length is 6
words, then 6 words = (6 x 16) bits, = 96 bits (decimal), or 140 octal. The permissible range of
bit reference numbers would be 0 to 137 octal. Flag 53 will be set if the bit specified is outside
the range of the table.

For example, suppose we have a table starting at V3000
that is two words long, as shown to the right. Each word
in the table contains 16 bits, or 0 to 17 in octal. To set bit
12 in the second word, we use its octal reference (bit 14).
Then we compute the bit’s octal address from the start of
the table, so 17 + 14 = 34 octal. The following program
shows how to set the bit as shown to a “1.”

In this ladder example, we will use input X0 to trigger the Set Bit operation. First, we will load
the table length (two words) into the accumulator stack. Next, we load the starting address 4
into the accumulator. Since V3000 is an octal number we have to convert it to hex by using
the LDA command. Finally, we use the Set Bit (or Reset Bit) instruction and specify the octal 5
address of the bit (bit 34), referenced from the table beginning.

Table to Destination (TTD)

 250-1
 260
DS Used
HPP Used

The Table To Destination instruction moves a value from a
V-memory table to a V-memory location and increments the
table pointer by 1. The first V-memory location in the table
contains the table pointer which indicates the next location in
the table to be moved. The instruction will be executed once
per scan provided the input remains on. The table pointer will
reset to 1 when the value equals the last location in the table.
The function parameters are loaded into the first level of the
accumulator stack and the accumulator by two additional
instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary to program the
Table To Destination function.

TTD

Vaaa

Step 1: L
 oad the length of the data table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. (Remember, the
starting location of the table is used as the table pointer.) This parameter must be a HEX
value.
Step 3: I nsert the TTD instruction that specifies the destination V-memory location (Vaaa).

Helpful hint: For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations, the
LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load the
value into the accumulator.
Helpful hint: The instruction will be executed every scan if the input logic is on. If you do not
want the instruction to execute for more than one scan, a one shot (PD) should be used in the
input logic.
Helpful hint: The pointer location should be set to the value where the table operation will
begin. The special relay SP0 or a one shot (PD) should be used so the value will only be set in
one scan and will not affect the instruction operation.

It is important to understand how the table
locations are numbered. If you examine the
example table, you’ll notice that the first data
location, V1401, will be used when the pointer is
equal to 0, and again when the pointer is equal to
6. Why? Because the pointer is only equal to 0
before the very first execution. From then on, it
increments from 1 to 6, and then resets to 1.

Also, our example uses a normal input contact (X1) to
control the execution. Since the CPU scan is extremely
fast, and the pointer increments automatically, the table
would cycle through the locations very quickly. If this is a
problem, you have an option of using SP56 in conjunction
with a one-shot (PD) and a latch (C1 for example) to
allow the table to cycle through all locations one time and
then stop. The logic shown here is not required, it’s just
an optional method.

The following diagram shows the scan-by-scan results of the execution for our example
program. Notice how the pointer automatically cycles from 0 to 6, and then starts over at 1
instead of 0. Also, notice how SP56 is only on until the end of the scan.

The Remove From Bottom instruction moves a value from
the bottom of a V-memory table to a V-memory location and
decrements a table pointer by 1. The first V-memory location
in the table contains the table pointer which indicates the next
location in the table to be moved. The instruction will be executed
once per scan provided the input remains on. The instruction
will stop operation when the pointer equals 0. The function
parameters are loaded into the first level of the accumulator stack
and the accumulator by 2 additional instructions. Listed below
are the steps necessary to program the Remove From Bottom
function.

In the following example, when X1 is on, the constant value (K6) is loaded into the accumulator
using the Load instruction. This value specifies the length of the table and is placed in the first
stack location after the Load Address instruction is executed. The octal address 1400 (V1400)
is the starting location for the source table and is loaded into the accumulator. Remember,
V1400 is used as the pointer location, and is not actually part of the table data source. The
destination location (V1500) is specified in the Remove From Bottom. The table pointer
(V1400 in this case) will be decremented by “1” after each execution of the RFB instruction.

Source to Table (STT)

 230
 240
 250-1
 260
DS Used
HPP Used

The Source To Table instruction moves a value from a
V-memory location into a V-memory table and increments a
table pointer by 1. When the table pointer reaches the end of
the table, it resets to 1. The first V-memory location in the table
contains the table pointer which indicates the next location
in the table to store a value. The instruction will be executed
once per scan provided the input remains on. The function
parameters are loaded into the first level of the accumulator
stack and the accumulator with two additional instructions.
Listed below are the steps necessary to program the Source To
Table function.

ST T
V aaa

Step 1: L
 oad the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2:Load the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. (Remember, the
starting location of the table is used as the table pointer.) This parameter must be a HEX
value.
Step 3:Insert the STT instruction which specifies the source V-memory location (Vaaa). This is
where the value will be moved from.

Helpful hint: For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations, the
LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load the
value into the accumulator.
Helpful hint: The instruction will be executed every scan if the input logic is on. If you do not
want the instruction to execute for more than one scan, a one shot (PD) should be used in the
input logic.
Helpful hint: The table counter value should be set to indicate the starting point for the
operation. Also, it must be set to a value that is within the length of the table. For example, if
the table is 6 words long, then the allowable range of values that could be in the pointer should
be between 0 and 6. If the value is outside of this range, the data will not be moved. Also, a
one shot (PD) should be used so the value will only be set in one scan and will not affect the
instruction operation.

using the Load instruction. This value specifies the length of the table and is placed in the first
stack location after the Load Address instruction is executed. The octal address 1400 (V1400),
which is the starting location for the destination table and table pointer, is loaded into the
accumulator. The data source location (V1500) is specified in the Source to Table instruction.
The table pointer will be increased by “1” after each time the instruction is executed.

It is important to understand how the table
locations are numbered. If you examine the
example table, you’ll notice that the first data
storage location, V1401, will be used when
the pointer is equal to 0, and again when the
pointer is equal to 6. Why? Because the pointer
is only equal to 0 before the very first execution.
From then on, it increments from 1 to 6, and
then resets to 1.

Also, our example uses a normal input contact
(X1) to control the execution. Since the
CPU scan is extremely fast, and the pointer
increments automatically, the source data
would be moved into all the table locations
very quickly. If this is a problem for your
application, you have an option of using a oneshot (PD) to move 1 value each time the input
contact transitions from low to high.

The following diagram shows the scan-by-scan results of the execution for our example
program. Notice how the pointer automatically cycles from 0 to 6, and then starts over at 1
instead of 0. Also, notice how SP56 is affected by the execution. Although our example does
not show it, we are assuming that there is another part of the program that changes the value in
V1500 (data source) prior to the execution of the STT instruction. This is not required, but it
makes it easier to see how the data source is copied into the table.

Step 1: Load the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
6
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: Load the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. (Remember, the
7
starting location of the table is used as the table length counter.) This parameter must be a
HEX value.
8
Step 3: Insert the RFT instructions which specifies destination V-memory location (Vaaa). This is
where the value will be moved to.
Helpful hint: For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations, the 9
LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load the
value into the accumulator.
10
Helpful hint: The instruction will be executed every scan if the input logic is on. If you do not
want the instruction to execute for more than one scan, a one shot (PD) should be used in the
11
input logic.
Helpful hint: The table counter value should be set to indicate the starting point for the
operation. Also, it must be set to a value that is within the length of the table. For example, if 12
the table is 6 words long, then the allowable range of values that could be in the table counter
should be between 1 and 6. If the value is outside of this range or 0, the data will not be moved 13
from the table. Also, a one shot (PD) should be used so the value will only be set in one scan
and will not affect the instruction operation.

The Remove From Table instruction pops a value off of a table

and stores it in a V-memory location. When a value is removed
V aaa
from the table all other values are shifted up 1 location. The
first V-memory location in the table contains the table length
counter. The table counter decrements by 1 each time the
instruction is executed. If the length counter is 0 or greater than the maximum table length
(specified in the first level of the accumulator stack), the instruction will not execute and SP56
will be on.
The instruction will be executed once per scan provided the input remains on. The function
parameters are loaded into the first level of the accumulator stack and the accumulator by 2
additional instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary to program the Remove From
Table function.

Since the table counter specifies the range of data
that will be removed from the table, it is important
to understand how the table locations are numbered.
If you examine the example table, you’ll notice that
the data locations are numbered from the top of the
table. For example, if the table counter started at 6,
then all 6 of the locations would be affected during
the instruction execution.
Also, our example uses a normal input contact (X1) to
control the execution. Since the CPU scan is extremely
fast, and the pointer decrements automatically, the
data would be removed from the table very quickly.
If this is a problem for your application, you have the
option of using a one-shot (PD) to remove one value
each time the input contact transitions from low to
high.

The Add To Top instruction pushes a value onto a V-memory
ATT
table from a V-memory location. When the value is added to
V aaa
the table, all other values are pushed down 1 location.
The instruction will be executed once per scan provided the
input remains on. The function parameters are loaded into the first level of the accumulator
stack and the accumulator by 2 additional instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary to
program the Add To Top function.
Step 1: L
 oad the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. (Remember, the
starting location of the table is used as the table length counter.) This parameter must be a
HEX value.
Step 3: I nsert the ATT instruction that specifies the source V-memory location (Vaaa). This is where
the value will be moved from.

Helpful hint: For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations, the
LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load the
value into the accumulator.
Helpful hint: The instruction will be executed every scan if the input logic is on. If you do not
want the instruction to execute for more than one scan, a one shot (PD) should be used in the
input logic.
Helpful hint: The table counter value should be set to indicate the starting point for the
operation. Also, it must be set to a value that is within the length of the table. For example, if
the table is 6 words long, then the allowable range of values that could be in the table counter
should be between 1 and 6. If the value is outside of this range or zero, the data will not be
moved into the table. Also, a one shot (PD) should be used so the value will only be set in one
scan and will not affect the instruction operation.

Description
On when the table counter equals 0.

NOTE: Status flags (SPs) are only valid until:
— another instruction that uses the same flag is executed, or
— the end of the scan
The pointer for this instruction can be set to start anywhere in the table. It is not set automatically. You
have to load a value into the pointer somewhere in your program.

In the following example, when X1 is on, the constant value (K6) is loaded into the accumulator
using the Load instruction. This value specifies the length of the table and is placed in the first
stack location after the Load Address instruction is executed. The octal address 1400 (V1400),
which is the starting location for the destination table and table counter, is loaded into the
accumulator. The source location (V1500) is specified in the Add to Top instruction. The
table counter will be increased by “1” after the instruction is executed.

For the ATT instruction, the table counter determines
the number of additions that can be made before the V1401
instruction will stop executing. So, it is helpful to V1402
understand how the system uses this counter to control V1403
V1404
the execution.
V1405
For example, if the table counter was set to 2, and the V1406
table length was 6 words, then there could only be 4 V1407
additions of data before the execution was stopped. This
can be calculated easily by:
Table length – table counter = number of executions
Also, our example uses a normal input contact (X1) to
control the execution. Since the CPU scan is extremely
fast, and the table counter increments automatically, the
data would be moved into the table very quickly. If this
is a problem for your applicaton, you have an option of
using a one-shot (PD) to add one value each time the
input contact transitions from low to high.

The following diagram shows the scan-by-scan results of the execution for our example
program. The table counter is set to 2 initially, and it will automatically increment from 2 to 6
as the instruction is executed. Notice how SP56 comes on when the table counter is 6, which
is equal to the table length. Plus, although our example does not show it, we are assuming that
there is another part of the program that changes the value in V1500 (data source) prior to the
execution of the ATT instruction.

The Table Shift Right instruction shifts all the bits in a V-memory
3
table to the right a specified number of bit positions.
TSHFR
Vaaa
4
The following description applies to both the Table Shift Left and
Table Shift Right instructions. A table is a range of V-memory
5
locations. The Table Shift Left and Table Shift Right instructions shift bits serially throughout
the entire table. Bits are shifted out the end of one word and into the opposite end of an
adjacent word. At the ends of the table, bits are either discarded, or zeros are shifted into the 6
table. The example tables below are arbitrarily four words long.
7
8
9
10
11
Step 1: L
 oad the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator. This parameter
12
must be a HEX value. You can use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to hex.
Step 3: I nsert the Table Shift Left or Table Shift Right instruction. This specifies the number of bit
13
positions you wish to shift the entire table. The number of bit positions must be in octal.
Helpful hint: Remember that each V-memory location contains 16 bits. The bits of the first
word of the table are numbered from 0 to 17 octal. If you want to shift the entire table by 20 14
bits, that is 24 octal. Flag 53 will be set if the number of bits to be shifted is larger than the
total bits contained within the table. Flag 67 will be set if the last bit shifted (just before it is A
discarded) is a “1”.

Shift Right instruction and specifying a shift by octal 14, 5 5 6 6
we have the resulting table shown at the far right. Notice
that the 2–3–4 sequence has been discarded, and the
0–0–0 sequence has been shifted in at the bottom.
The following ladder example assumes the data at V3000 to V3004 already exists as shown
above. We will use input X0 to trigger the Table Shift Right operation. First, we will load the
table length (5 words) into the accumulator stack. Next, we load the starting address into the
accumulator. Since V3000 is an octal number we have to convert it to hex by using the LDA
command. Finally, we use the Table Shift Right instruction and specify the number of bits to
be shifted (12 decimal), which is 14 octal.

Step 2: Load the length of a table (number of words) to be searched. The Find Block will search
multiple tables that are adjacent in V-memory. This parameter must be a decimal value from 9
1 to 128.
Step 3: Load the ending location for all the tables into the accumulator. This parameter must be a 10
HEX value. You can use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to hex.
Step 4: Load the table starting location for all the tables into the accumulator. This parameter must be 11
a HEX value. You can use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to hex.
Step 5: Insert the Find Block instruction. This specifies the starting location of the block of data you

The Swap instruction exchanges the data in two tables of equal
length.

SWAP
V aaa

The following steps apply to both the Set Bit and Reset Bit table
instructions.
Step 1: L
 oad the length of the tables (number of V-memory locations) into the first level of the
accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF. Remember that the tables
must be of equal length.
Step 2: L
 oad the starting V-memory location for the first table into the accumulator. This parameter
must be a HEX value. You can use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to hex.
Step 3: I nsert the Swap instruction. This specifies the starting address of the second table.

Helpful hint: The data swap occurs within a single scan. If the instruction executes on multiple
consecutive scans, it will be difficult to know the actual contents of either table at any particular
time. So, remember to swap just on a single scan.

The example program below uses a PD contact (triggers for one scan for off-to-on transition).
First, we load the length of the tables (two words) into the accumulator. Then we load the
address of the first table (V3000) into the accumulator using the LDA instruction, converting
the octal address to hex. Note that it does not matter which table we declare “first,” because
the swap results will be the same.

DS Used
HPP Used

5-178

The Reset Watch Dog Timer instruction resets the CPU scan
RSTWT
timer. The default setting for the watch dog timer is 200ms.
Scan times very seldom exceed 200ms, but it is possible. For/next
loops, subroutines, interrupt routines, and table instructions can
be programmed such that the scan becomes longer than 200ms.
When instructions are used in a manner that could exceed the
watch dog timer setting, this instruction can be used to reset the
timer.
A software timeout error (E003) will occur and the CPU will enter the program mode if the
scan time exceeds the watch dog timer setting. Placement of the RSTWT instruction in the
program is very important. The instruction has to be executed before the scan time exceeds the
watch dog timer’s setting.
If the scan time is consistently longer than the watch dog timer’s setting, the timeout value
may be permanently increased from the default value of 200ms by AUX 55 on the HPP or the
appropriate auxiliary function in your programming package. This eliminates the need for the
RSTWT instruction.
In the following example, the CPU scan timer will be reset to 0 when the RSTWT instruction
is executed. See the For/Next instruction for a detailed example.

The Goto Subroutine instruction allows a section of ladder
logic to be placed outside the main body of the program
and execute only when needed. There can be a maximum
of 128 GTS instructions and 64 SBR instructions used in
a program. The GTS instructions can be nested up to 8
levels. An error E412 will occur if the maximum limits
are exceeded. Typically this will be used in an application
where a block of program logic may be slow to execute and
is not required to execute every scan. The subroutine label
and all associated logic is placed after the End statement in
the program. When the subroutine is called from the main
program, the CPU will execute the subroutine (SBR) with
the same constant number (K) as the GTS instruction that
called the subroutine.
By placing code in a subroutine, it is only scanned and
executed when needed since it resides after the End
instruction. Code which is not scanned does not impact
the overall scan time of the program.

power rail. The main left rail is always master line 0. When an MLS
K1 instruction is used, a new power rail is created at level 1. Master
Line Sets and Master Line Resets can be used to nest power rails up to
seven levels deep. Note that unlike stages in RLLPLUS, the logic within
the master control relays is still scanned and updated even though it will not function if the
MLS is off.

Interrupt Instructions

1
The Interrupt instruction allows a section of ladder logic to
2
be placed outside the main body of the program and executed
when needed. Interrupts can be called from the program or
by external interrupts via the counter interface module (D2–
3
CTRINT), which provides 4 interrupts.
4
The software interrupt uses interrupt #00 which means the hardware interrupt #0 and the
software interrupt cannot be used together.
5
Typically, interrupts will be used in an application where a fast response to an input is needed
or a program section needs to execute faster than the normal CPU scan. The interrupt label 6
and all associated logic must be placed after the End statement in the program. When the
interrupt routine is called from the interrupt module or software interrupt, the CPU will
complete execution of the instruction it is currently processing in ladder logic, then execute the 7
designated interrupt routine. Interrupt module interrupts are labeled in octal to correspond
with the hardware input signal (X1 will initiate interrupt INT1). There is only one software 8
interrupt, and it is labeled INT 0. The program execution will continue from the point it was
before the interrupt occurred once the interrupt is serviced.
9
The software interrupt is set up by programming the interrupt time in V7634. The valid range
is 3 to 999 ms. The value must be a BCD value. The interrupt will not execute if the value is
10
out of range.
NOTE: See the example program of a software interrupt.

Interrupt Return (IRT)

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

When an Interrupt Return is executed in the interrupt routine, the
CPU will return to the point in the main body of the program from
which it was called. The Interrupt Return is programmed as the last
instruction in an interrupt routine and is a stand alone instruction (no
input contact on the rung).

The Interrupt Return Conditional instruction is a optional instruction
used with an input contact to implement a conditional return from the
interrupt routine. The Interrupt Return is required to terminate the
interrupt routine.

IRTC

Enable Interrupts (ENI)
The Enable Interrupt instruction is programmed in the main body of
the application program (before the End instruction) to enable hardware
or software interrupts. Once the coil has been energized, interrupts will
be enabled until they are disabled by the Disable Interrupt instruction.

ENI

Disable Interrupts (DISI)
The Disable Interrupt instruction is programmed in the main body of
the application program (before the End instruction) to disable both
hardware or software interrupts. Once the coil has been energized,
interrupts will be disabled until they are enabled by the Enable Interrupt
instruction.

Interrupt Example for Interrupt Module
In the following example, when X40 is on, the interrupts will be enabled. When X40 is off,
the interrupts will be disabled. When an interrupt signal X1 is received, the CPU will jump
to the interrupt label INT O 1. The application ladder logic in the interrupt routine will be
performed. The CPU will return to the main body of the program after the IRT instruction
is executed.

In the following example, when X1 is on, the value 10 is copied to V7634. This value sets the
software interrupt to 10ms. When X20 turns on, the interrupt will be enabled. When X20
turns off, the interrupt will be disabled. Every 10ms the CPU will jump to the interrupt label
INT O 0. The application ladder logic in the interrupt routine will be performed. If X35
is not on, Y0–Y17 will be reset to off and then the CPU will return to the main body of the

Listed below are the steps to program the Read from Intelligent module function.
4
Step 1: L
 oad the base number (0 to 3) into the first byte and the slot number (0 to 7) into the second
byte of the second level of the accumulator stack.
5
Step 2: L
 oad the number of bytes to be transferred into the first level of the accumulator stack
(maximum of 128 bytes).
6
Step 3: L
 oad the address from which the data will be read into the accumulator. This parameter
must be a HEX value.
Step 4:Insert the RD instruction that specifies the starting V-memory location (Vaaa) into which the 7
data will be read.
Helpful hint: Use the LDA instruction to convert an octal address to its HEX equivalent and 8
load it into the accumulator when the hex format is required.

Network Instructions

1
The Read from Network instruction is used by the master device
2
on a network to read a block of data from another CPU. The
function parameters are loaded into the first and second levels of
the accumulator stack and the accumulator by three additional
3
instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary to program the
Read from Network function.
4
Step 1: L
 oad the slave address (0 to 90 BCD) into the first byte, and load the PLC internal port
(KF1) or slot number of the master DCM or ECOM (0 to 7) into the second byte of the
5
second level of the accumulator stack.
Step 2:Load the number of bytes (0 to 128 BCD, multiple of 2) to be transferred into the first level
of the accumulator stack.
6
Step 3:Load the address of the data to be read into the accumulator. This parameter requires a HEX
value.
7
Step 4:Insert the RX instruction which specifies the starting V-memory location (Aaaa) where the
data will be read from in the slave.
8
Helpful hint: For parameters that require HEX values, the LDA instruction can be used to
convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load the value into the accumulator.

Port 2 on the DL250–1/260 has standard RS232 levels, and should work with most printer
serial input connections.
Text element - used for printing character strings. The character strings are defined as the
character (more than 0) ranged by the double quotation marks. Two hex numbers preceded
by the dollar sign means an 8-bit ASCII character code. Also, two characters preceded by the
dollar sign is interpreted according to the following table:

Length 0 without character
”A” 			
Length 1 with character A
” ” 			
Length 1 with blank
” $” ” 			
Length 1 with double quotation mark
” $ R $ L ” 		
Length 2 with one CR and one LF
” $ 0 D $ 0 A ” 		
Length 2 with one CR and one LF
” $ $ ” 		
Length 1 with one $ mark
In printing an ordinary line of text, you will need to include double quotation marks before
and after the text string. Error code 499 will occur in the CPU when the print instruction
contains invalid text or no quotations. It is important to test your PRINT instruction data
during the application development.
The following example prints the message to port 2. We use a PD contact, which causes the
message instruction to be active for just one scan. Note the $N at the end of the message,
which produces a carriage return / line feed on the printer. This prepares the printer to print
the next line, starting from the left margin.

Example: The following example prints a message containing text and a variable. The “reactor
temperature” labels the data, which is at V2000. You can use the ‘: B’ qualifier after the V2000
if the data is in BCD format, for example. The final string adds the units of degrees to the line 11
of text, and the $N adds a carriage return / line feed.

V-memory text element – used for printing text stored in V-memory. Use the % followed
by the number of characters after V-memory number for representing the text. If you assign A
“0” as the number of characters, the print function will read the character count from the first
location. Then it will start at the next V-memory location and read that number of ASCII

MRX Example
DL260 port 2 has two Special Relay contacts associated with it (see Appendix D for comm 7
port special relays). One indicates “Port busy” (SP116), and the other indicates ”Port
Communication Error” (SP117). The “Port Busy” bit is on while the PLC communicates 8
with the slave. When the bit is off, the program can initiate the next network request. The
“Port Communication Error” bit turns on when the PLC has detected an error. Use of this bit
is optional. When used, it should be ahead of any network instruction boxes since the error bit 9
is reset when an MRX or MWX instruction is executed.
Typically, network communications will last longer than one CPU scan. The program must 10
wait for the communications to finish before starting the next transaction.

This rung does a Modbus write to the first holding register 40001 of the slave address 1. It will write the

to multiple registers. Only one network instruction (WX, RX, MWX, MRX) can be enabled in each one scan.
That is the reason for the interlock bits. For using many network instructions on the same port, look at
using the shift register instruction.

ASCII Instructions (DL260)

1
2
3
4
Reading ASCII Input Strings
5
There are several methods which the DL260 can use to read ASCII input strings:
1) A
 SCII IN (AIN) – This instruction configures port 2 for raw ASCII input strings with parameters
such as fixed and variable length ASCII strings, termination characters, byte swapping options, and 6
instruction control bits. Use barcode scanners, weight scales, etc., to write raw ASCII input strings
into port 2 based on the (AIN) instruction’s parameters.
7
2) Write embedded ASCII strings directly to V–memory from an external HMI or similar master
device via a supported communications protocol using the CPU ports, H2–ECOM or D2–DCM
8
module. The AIN instruction is not used in this case.
3) If a DL260 PLC is a master on a network, the Network Read instruction (RX) can be used to read
embedded ASCII data from a slave device via a supported communications protocol using port 2,
9
H2–ECOM or D2–DCM module. The RX instruction places the data directly into V–memory.
Writing ASCII Output Strings
10
The following instructions can be used to write ASCII output strings:
1) Print from V–memory (PRINTV) – Use this instruction to write raw ASCII strings out of port 2 11
to a display panel or a serial printer, etc. The instruction features the starting V–memory address,
string length, byte swapping options, etc. When the instruction’s permissive bit is enabled, the
12
string is written to port 2.
2) Print to V–memory (VPRINT) – Use this instruction to create pre–coded ASCII strings in the
PLC (i.e. alarm messages). When the instruction’s permissive bit is enabled, the message is loaded 13
into a pre–defined V–memory address location. Then use the PRINTV instruction to write the
pre–coded ASCII string out of port 2. American, European and Asian Time/Date stamps are
14
supported.
Additionally, if a DL260 PLC is a master on a network, the Network Write instruction (WX) A
can be used to write embedded ASCII data to an HMI or slave device directly from V–memory
via a supported communications protocol using port 2, H2–ECOM or D2–DCM module.

DS Used
HPP N/A

The DL260 CPU supports several instructions and methods that allow ASCII strings to be read
into and written from the PLC communications ports.
Specifically, port 2 on the DL260 can be used for either reading or writing raw ASCII strings,
but cannot be used for both on the same CPU.
The DL260 can also decipher ASCII embedded within a supported protocol (K–Sequence,
DirectNET, Modbus, Ethernet) via the CPU ports, H2–ECOM or D2–DCM module.
ASCII character tables and descriptions can be found at www.asciitable.com.

Managing the ASCII Strings
The following instructions can be helpful in managing the ASCII strings within the CPU’s
V-memory:
ASCII Find (AFIND) – Finds where a specific portion of the ASCII string is located in
continuous V-memory addresses. Forward and reverse searches are supported.
ASCII Extract (AEX) – Extracts a specific portion (usually some data value) from the ASCII
find location or other known ASCII data location.
Compare V-memory (CMPV) – This instruction is used to compare two blocks of
V-memory addresses and is usually used to detect a change in an ASCII string. Compared data
types must be of the same format (i.e., BCD, ASCII, etc.).
Swap Bytes (SWAPB) – usually used to swap V-memory bytes on ASCII data that was written
directly to V-memory from an external HMI or similar master device via a communications
protocol. The AIN and AEX instructions have a built–in byte swap feature.

ASCII Input (AIN)

 230
 240
 250-1
 260

The ASCII Input instruction allows the CPU to receive ASCII strings through the specified
communications port and places the string into a series of specified V-memory registers. The
ASCII data can be received as a fixed number of bytes or as a variable length string with a
specified termination character(s). Other features include Byte Swap preferences, Character
Timeout, and user-defined flag bits for Busy, Complete and Timeout Error.

12- or 24-hour time formats.
• Byte Swap: swaps the high–byte and low–byte
within each V–memory register to which
the ASCII string is printed. See the SWAPB
instruction for details.
• Print to Starting V–memory Address:
specifies the beginning of a series of V–
memory addresses where the ASCII string will
be placed by the VPRINT instruction.
• Starting V–memory Address: the first V–
memory register of the series of registers
specified will contain the ASCII string’s length
in bytes.
• Starting V–memory Address +1: the 2nd and
subsequent registers will contain the ASCII
string printed to V–memory.

VPRINT V-memory text element
The following is used for “printing to V-memory” text stored in registers. Use the % followed
by the number of characters after V-memory number for representing the text. If you assign
“0” as the number of characters, the function will read the character count from the first
location. Then it will start at the next V-memory location and read that number of ASCII
codes for the text from memory.
Example:
V2000 % 16 		
16 characters in V2000 to V2007 are printed.
V2000 % 0 		
The characters in V2001 to Vxxxx (determined by the number in
			
V2000) will be printed.

VPRINT Bit element
The following is used for “printing to V–memory” the state of the designated bit in
V-memory or a control relay bit. The bit element can be assigned by the designating point

Intelligent Box (IBox) Instructions (DL250-1/DL260 Only)

5-230

A new class of instructions, called Ibox Instructions, became available with the introduction
of DirectSOFT. These powerful, yet easy-to-use instructions simplify many of the more
complicated tasks that could previously be accomplished only through the use of multiple
RLL Instructions. The IBox Instructions are supported by DL250-1 and DL260 PLCs.
The D2-250-1 CPU requires firmware version v4.60 or later, and the D2-260 CPU requires
firmware version v2.40 or later. For more information on DirectSOFT or to download our free
version, please visit our Web site at: www.automationdirect.com.

DS5

Used

HPP

N/A

5-232

The Analog Input/Output Combo Module Pointer Setup instruction generates the logic to
configure the pointer method for an analog input/output combination module on the first PLC
scan following a Program to Run transition.
The ANLGCMB IBox instruction
determines the data format and Pointer
addresses based on the CPU type, the
Base# and the module Slot#.
The Input Data Address is the starting
location in user V-memory where the
analog input data values will be stored,
one location for each input channel
enabled.
The Output Data Address is the starting
location in user V-memory where the
analog output data values will be stored
by ladder code or external device, one
location for each output channel enabled.
Since the IBox logic only executes on the first scan, the instruction cannot have any input logic.
ANLGCMB Parameters
• Base # (K0-Local): specifies which base the module is in.
• Slot #: specifies which slot is occupied by the analog module.
• Number of Input Channels: specifies the number of analog input channels to scan.
• Input Data Format (0-BCD 1-BIN): specifies the analog input data format (BCD or Binary) - the
binary format may be used for displaying data on some OI panels.
• Input Data Address: specifies the starting V-memory location that will be used to store the analog
input data.
• Number of Output Channels: specifies the number of analog output channels that will be used.
• Output Data Format (0-BCD 1-BIN): specifies the format of the analog output data (BCD or
Binary).
• Output Data Address: specifies the starting V-memory location that will be used to source the
analog output data.
NOTE The ANLGCMB instruction does not currently support the F2-8AD4DA-1 or F2-8AD4DA-2.

Analog Input Module Pointer Setup generates the logic to configure the pointer method for
one analog input module on the first PLC scan following a Program to Run transition.
This IBox determines the data format and Pointer addresses based on the CPU type, the Base#,
and the Slot#.
The Input Data Address is the starting
location in user V-memory where the
analog input data values will be stored,
one location for each input channel
enabled.
Since this logic only executes on the
first scan, this IBox cannot have any
input logic.
ANLGIN Parameters
• Base # (K0-Local): specifies which base the analog module is in.
• Slot #: specifies which PLC slot is occupied by the analog module.
• Number of Input Channels: specifies the number of input channels to scan.
• Input Data Format (0-BCD 1-BIN): specifies the analog input data format (BCD or Binary) - the
binary format may be used for displaying data on some OI panels.
• Input Data Address: specifies the starting V-memory location that will be used to store the analog
input data.

Analog Scale 12-Bit BCD to BCD scales a 12-bit BCD analog value (0 to 4095 BCD) into
BCD engineering units. You specify the engineering unit high value (when raw is 4095), and
the engineering low value (when raw is 0), and
the output V-memory address where you want
to place the scaled engineering unit value. The
engineering units are generated as BCD and can
be the full range of 0 to 9999 (see ANSCLB Analog Scale 12-Bit Binary to Binary if your raw
units are in Binary format).
Note that this IBox only works with unipolar
unsigned raw values. It does NOT work with
bipolar or sign plus magnitude raw values.
ANSCL Parameters
• Raw (0 to 4095 BCD): specifies the V-memory location of the unipolar unsigned raw 0 to 4095
unscaled value
• High Engineering: specifies the high engineering value when the raw input is 4095
• Low Engineering: specifies the low engineering value when the raw input is 0
• Engineering (BCD): specifies the V-memory location where the scaled engineering BCD value will
be placed

DS5

Used

HPP

N/A

5-240

Filter Over Time BCD will perform a first-order filter on the Raw Data on a defined time
interval. The equation is:
New = Old + [(Raw - Old) / FDC]
where,
New: New Filtered Value
Old: Old Filtered Value
FDC: Filter Divisor Constant
Raw: Raw Data

The Filter Divisor Constant is an integer in
the range K1 to K100, such that if it equaled
K1 then no filtering would be done.
The rate at which the calculation is performed is specified by time in hundredths of a second
(0.01 seconds) as the Filter Freq Time parameter. Note that this Timer instruction is embedded
in the IBox and must NOT be used anywhere else in your program. Power flow controls
whether the calculation is enabled. If it is disabled, the Filter Value is not updated. On the
first scan from Program to Run mode, the Filter Value is initialized to 0 to give the calculation
a consistent starting point.
FILTER Parameters
• Filter Frequency Timer: specifies the Timer (T) number which is used by the Filter instruction.
• Filter Frequency Time (0.01sec): specifies the rate at which the calculation is performed.
• Raw Data (BCD): specifies the V-memory location of the raw unfiltered BCD value.
• Filter Divisor (1 to 100): this constant is used to control the filtering effect. A larger value will
increase the smoothing effect of the filter. A value of 1 results with no filtering.
• Filtered Value (BCD): specifies the V-memory location where the filtered BCD value will be
placed.

Filter Over Time - Binary (FILTERB) (IB-402)

 230

 250-1
 260
DS5 Used
HPP

5-242

N/A

Filter Over Time in Binary (decimal) will perform a first-order filter on the Raw Data on a
defined time interval. The equation is:
New = Old + [(Raw - Old) / FDC] where
New: New Filtered Value
Old: Old Filtered Value
FDC: Filter Divisor Constant
Raw: Raw Data

The Filter Divisor Constant is an integer in the
range K1 to K100, such that if it equaled K1
then no filtering would be done.
The rate at which the calculation is performed is specified by time in hundredths of a second
(0.01 seconds) as the Filter Freq Time parameter. Note that this Timer instruction is embedded
in the IBox and must NOT be used anywhere else in your program. Power flow controls
whether the calculation is enabled. If it is disabled, the Filter Value is not updated. On the
first scan from Program to Run mode, the Filter Value is initialized to 0 to give the calculation
a consistent starting point.
FILTERB Parameters
• Filter Frequency Timer: specifies the Timer (T) number that is used by the Filter instruction.
• Filter Frequency Time (0.01sec): specifies the rate at which the calculation is performed.
• Raw Data (Binary): specifies the V-memory location of the raw unfiltered binary (decimal) value.
• Filter Divisor (1 to 100): this constant is used to control the filtering effect. A larger value will
increase the smoothing effect of the filter. A value of 1 results with no filtering.
• Filtered Value (Binary): specifies the V-memory location where the filtered binary (decimal) value
will be placed.

DS5 Used
HPP

5-244

N/A

Hi/Low Alarm - BCD monitors a BCD value V-memory location and sets four possible alarm
states, High-High, High, Low, and Low-Low whenever the IBox has power flow. You enter
the alarm thresholds as constant (K) BCD values (K0-K9999) and/or BCD value V-memory
locations.
You must ensure that threshold limits are valid,
that is HH >= H > L >= LL. Note that when the
High-High or Low-Low alarm condition is true,
that the High and Low alarms will also be set,
respectively. This means you may use the same
threshold limit and same alarm bit for the HighHigh and the High alarms in case you only need
one “High” alarm. Also note that the boundary
conditions are inclusive. That is, if the Low
boundary is K50, and the Low-Low boundary
is K10, and if the Monitoring Value equals 10,
then the Low Alarm AND the Low-Low alarm
will both be ON. If there is no power flow to the IBox, then all alarm bits will be turned off
regardless of the value of the Monitoring Value parameter.
HILOAL Parameters
• Monitoring Value (BCD): specifies the V-memory location of the BCD value to be monitored
• High-High Limit: V-memory location or constant specifies the high-high alarm limit
• High-High Alarm: On when the high-high limit is reached
• High Limit: V-memory location or constant specifies the high alarm limit
• High Alarm: On when the high limit is reached
• Low Limit: V-memory location or constant specifies the low alarm limit
• Low Alarm: On when the low limit is reached
• Low-Low Limit: V-memory location or constant specifies the low-low alarm limit
• Low-Low Alarm: On when the low-low limit is reached

HILOAL Example
In the following example, the HILOAL instruction is used to monitor a BCD value that is in
V2000. If the value in V2000 meets/exceeds the High limit of K900, C101 will turn on. If the
value continues to increase to meet/exceed the High-High limit, C100 will turn on. Both bits
would be on in this case. The High and High-High limits and alarms can be set to the same
value if one “High” limit or alarm is desired to be used.
If the value in V2000 meets or falls below the Low limit of K200, C102 will turn on. If the
value continues to decrease to meet or fall below the Low-Low limit of K100, C103 will turn
on. Both bits would be on in this case. The Low and Low-Low limits and alarms can be set to
the same value if one “Low” limit or alarm is desired to be used.

5-246

N/A

Hi/Low Alarm - Binary monitors a binary (decimal) V-memory location and sets four
possible alarm states, High-High, High, Low, and Low-Low whenever the IBox has power
flow. You enter the alarm thresholds as constant (K) decimal values (K0-K65535) and/or
binary (decimal) V-memory locations.
You must ensure that threshold limits are valid, that is HH >= H > L >= LL. Note that when
the High-High or Low-Low alarm condition is true, that the High and Low alarms will also
be set, respectively. This means you may use the same threshold limit and same alarm bit for
the High-High and the High alarms in case you only need one “High” alarm. Also note that
the boundary conditions are inclusive. That is, if the Low boundary is K50, and the Low-Low
boundary is K10, and if the Monitoring Value equals 10, then the Low Alarm AND the
Low-Low alarm will both be ON. If there is no power flow to the IBox, then all alarm bits will
be turned off regardless of the value of the Monitoring Value parameter.
HILOALB Parameters
• Monitoring Value (Binary): specifies the
V-memory location of the Binary value to be
monitored
• High-High Limit: V-memory location or
constant specifies the High-High alarm limit
• High-High Alarm: On when the High-High
limit is reached
• High Limit: V-memory location or constant
specifies the High alarm limit
• High Alarm: On when the High limit is
reached
• Low Limit: V-memory location or constant
specifies the Low alarm limit
• Low Alarm: On when the Low limit is reached

HILOALB Example
In the following example, the HILOALB instruction is used to monitor a binary value that is
in V2000. If the value in V2000 meets/exceeds the High limit of the binary value in V2011,
C101 will turn on. If the value continues to increase to meet/exceed the High-High limit value
in V2010, C100 will turn on. Both bits would be on in this case. The High and High-High
limits and alarms can be set to the same V-memory location/value if one “High” limit or alarm
is desired to be used.
If the value in V2000 meets or falls below the low limit of the binary value in V2012, C102 will
turn on. If the value continues to decrease to meet or fall below the Low-Low limit in V2013,
C103 will turn on. Both bits would be on in this case. The Low and Low-Low limits and
alarms can be set to the same V-memory location/value if one “Low” limit or alarm is desired
to be used.

N/A

Off Delay Timer will delay the “turning off” of the Output parameter by the specified Off
Delay Time (up to 99.99 seconds) based on the power flow into the IBox. Once the IBox
receives power, the Output bit will turn on immediately. When the power flow to the IBox
turns off, the Output bit WILL REMAIN ON for the specified amount of time (in hundredths
of a second). Once the Off Delay Time has expired, the output will turn Off. If the power
flow to the IBox comes back on BEFORE the Off Delay Time, then the timer is RESET and
the Output will remain On - so you must continuously have NO power flow to the IBox for
AT LEAST the specified Off Delay Time before the Output will turn Off.
This IBox utilizes a Timer resource (TMRF), which cannot be used anywhere else in your
program.
OFFDTMR Parameters
• Timer Number: specifies the Timer (TMRF)
number which is used by the OFFDTMR
instruction
• Off Delay Time (0.01sec): specifies how long
the Output will remain on once power flow
to the Ibox is removed (up to 99.99 seconds).
• Output: specifies the output that will be
delayed “turning off” by the Off Delay Time.

On Delay Timer will delay the “turning on” of the Output parameter by the specified amount
of time (up to 99.99 seconds) based on the power flow into the IBox. Once the IBox loses
power, the Output is turned off immediately. If the power flow turns off BEFORE the On
Delay Time, then the timer is RESET and
the Output is never turned on, so you must
have continuous power flow to the IBox for at
least the specified On Delay Time before the
Output turns On.
This IBox utilizes a Timer resource (TMRF),
which cannot be used anywhere else in your
program.
ONDTMR Parameters
• Timer Number: specifies the Timer (TMRF) number which is used by the ONDTMR instruction
• On Delay Time (0.01sec): specifies how long the Output will remain on once power flow to the
Ibox is removed (up to 99.99 seconds).
• Output: specifies the output that will be delayed “turning on” by the On Delay Time.

ONDTMR Example
In the following example, the ONDTMR instruction is used to delay the “turning on” of
output C21. Timer 1 (T1) is set to 2 seconds, the “on-delay” period.
When C101 turns on, C21 is delayed turning on by 2 seconds. When C101 turns off, C21
turns off immediately.

Math - BCD Format lets you enter complex
mathematical expressions like you would in
Visual Basic, Excel, or C++ to do complex
calculations, nesting parentheses up to 4 levels
deep. In addition to + - * /, you can do Modulo
(% aka Remainder), Bit-wise And (&) Or (|)
Xor (^), and some BCD functions - Convert to
BCD (BCD), Convert to Binary (BIN), BCD
Complement (BCDCPL), Convert from Gray
Code (GRAY), Invert Bits (INV), and BCD/
HEX to Seven Segment Display (SEG).
Example: ((V2000 + V2001) / (V2003 - K100)) * GRAY(V3000 & K001F)
Every V-memory reference MUST be to a single-word BCD formatted value. Intermediate
results can go up to 32-bit values, but as long as the final result fits in a 16-bit BCD word, the
calculation is valid. Typical example of this is scaling using multiply then divide, (V2000 *
K1000) / K4095. The multiply term most likely will exceed 9999 but fits within 32 bits. The
divide operation will divide 4095 into the 32-bit accumulator, yielding a result that will always
fit in 16 bits.
You can reference binary V-memory values by using the BCD conversion function on a
V-memory location but NOT an expression. That is BCD(V2000) is okay and will convert
V2000 from Binary to BCD, but BCD(V2000 + V3000) will add V2000 as BCD, to V3000
as BCD, then interpret the result as Binary and convert it to BCD - NOT GOOD.
Also, the final result is a 16-bit BCD number and so you could do BIN around the entire
operation to store the result as Binary.
MATHBCD Parameters
• Result (WORD): specifies the location where the BCD result of the mathematical expression will
be placed (result must fit into 16-bit single V-memory location).
• Expression: specifies the mathematical expression to be executed and the result is stored in specified
Result (WORD). Each V-memory location used in the expression must be in BCD format.

Real to BCD with Implied Decimal Point and Rounding converts the absolute value of the
given Real number to a 4-digit BCD number, compensating for an implied number of decimal
points (K0-K4) and performs rounding.
For example, RTOBCD R56.74 with an implied number of decimal points equal to K1, would
yield 567 BCD. If the implied number of decimal points was 0, then the function would yield
57 BCD (note that it rounded up).
If the Real number is negative, the Result will equal its positive, absolute value.

Real to Double BCD with Implied Decimal Point and Rounding converts the absolute value
of the given Real number to an 8-digit DWORD BCD number, compensating for an implied
number of decimal points (K0-K8) and performs rounding.
For example, RTOBCDD R38156.74 with an implied number of decimal points equal to K1,
would yield 381567 BCD. If the implied number of decimal points was 0, then the function
would yield 38157 BCD (note that it rounded up).
If the Real number is negative, the Result will equal its positive, absolute value.

Sum Real Numbers sums up a list of consecutive REAL DWORD numbers into a REAL
DWORD result.
You specify the group’s starting and ending V-memory addresses (inclusive).
Remember that Real numbers are DWORDs and occupy 2 words of V-memory each, so the
number of Real values summed up is equal to half the number of memory locations. Note
that the End Address can be EITHER word of the 2 word ending address, for example, if you
wanted to add the 4 Real numbers stored in V2000 thru V2007 (V2000, V2002, V2004, and
V2006), you can specify V2006 OR V2007 for the ending address and you will get the same
result.
When enabled, this instruction will add all the numbers in the group (so you may want to place
a differential contact driving the enable).
SUMR could be used as the first part of calculating an average.
SUMR Parameters
• Start Address (DWORD): specifies the
starting address of a block of V-memory
location values to be added together (Real)
• End Addr (inclusive) (DWORD):
specifies the ending address of a block of

ECOM100 Configuration defines all the common information for one specific ECOM100
module which is used by the other ECOM100 IBoxes; for example, ECRX - ECOM100
Network Read, ECEMAIL - ECOM100 Send EMail, ECIPSUP - ECOM100 IP Setup, etc.
You MUST have the ECOM100 Configuration IBox at the top of your ladder/stage program
with any other configuration IBoxes. The Message Buffer parameter specifies the starting
address of a 65 WORD buffer. This is 101 Octal addresses (e.g., V1400 thru V1500).
If you have more than one ECOM100 in your PLC, you must have a different ECOM100
Configuration IBox for EACH ECOM100 module in your system that utilizes any ECOM
IBox instructions.
The Workspace and Status parameters and the entire Message Buffer are internal, private
registers used by the ECOM100 Configuration IBox and MUST BE UNIQUE in this one
instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
In order for MOST ECOM100 IBoxes to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board. You can keep dip switch 7 off if you are ONLY using ECOM100
Network Read and Write IBoxes (ECRX, ECWX).
ECOM100 Parameters

ECOM100 Example
The ECOM100 Config IBox coordinates all of the interaction with other ECOM100-based
IBoxes (ECxxxx). You must have an ECOM100 Config IBox for each ECOM100 module
in your system. Configuration IBoxes must be at the top of your program and must execute
every scan.
This IBox defines ECOM100# K0 to be in slot 3. Any ECOM100 IBoxes that need to
reference this specific module (such as ECEMAIL, ECRX, ...) would enter K0 for their
ECOM100# parameter.
The Status register is for reporting any completion or error information to other ECOM100
IBoxes. This V-memory register must not be used anywhere else in the entire program.
The Workspace register is used to maintain state information about the ECOM100, along
with proper sharing and interlocking with the other ECOM100 IBoxes in the program. This
V-memory register must not be used anywhere else in the entire program.
The Message Buffer of 65 words (130 bytes) is a common pool of memory that is used by
other ECOM100 IBoxes (such as ECEMAIL). This way, you can have a bunch of ECEMAIL
IBoxes, but only need 1 common buffer for generating and sending each EMail. These
V-memory registers must not be used anywhere else in your entire program.

No permissive contact or input logic is
used with this instruction

NOTE: An ECOM100 IBox instruction is used without a permissive contact. The top line will be identified in
BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

DS5

Used

HPP

N/A

5-274

ECOM100 Disable DHCP will set up the ECOM100 to use its internal TCP/IP settings on a
leading edge transition to the IBox. To configure the ECOM100’s TCP/IP settings manually,
use the NetEdit3 utility, or you can do it programmatically from your PLC program using
the ECOM100 IP Setup (ECIPSUP), or the individual ECOM100 IBoxes: ECOM Write IP
Address (ECWRIP), ECOM Write Gateway Address (ECWRGWA), and ECOM100 Write
Subnet Mask (ECWRSNM).
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100), or
a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
The “Disable DHCP” setting is stored in Flash-ROM in the ECOM100 and the execution
of this IBox will disable the ECOM100 module for at least a half second until it writes the
Flash-ROM. Therefore, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you only execute this IBox
ONCE, on the second scan. Since it requires a LEADING edge to execute, use a NORMALLY
CLOSED SP0 (STR NOT First Scan) to drive the power flow to the IBox.
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.
ECDHCPD Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated with
this specific ECOM100 module in the specified
slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference
this ECOM100 module must reference this logical
number
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will
be used by the instruction
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the
request is completed successfully
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the
instruction is not completed successfully
• Error Code: specifies the location where the Error

Rung 2: On the 2nd scan, disable DHCP in the ECOM100. DHCP is the same protocol used
by PCs for using a DHCP Server to automatically assign the ECOM100’s IP Address, Gateway 10
Address, and Subnet Mask. Typically disabling DHCP is done by assigning a hard-coded IP
Address either in NetEdit or using one of the ECOM100 IP Setup IBoxes, but this IBox allows 11
you to disable DHCP in the ECOM100 using your ladder program. The ECDHCPD is
leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input leg). The command
to disable DHCP will be sent to the ECOM100 whenever the power flow into the IBox goes 12
from OFF to ON. If successful, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101. If it fails,
you can look at V2000 for the specific error code.

5-276

ECOM100 Enable DHCP will tell the ECOM100 to obtain its TCP/IP setup from a DHCP
Server on a leading edge transition to the IBox.
The IBox will be successful once the ECOM100 has received its TCP/IP settings from the
DHCP server. Since it is possible for the DHCP server to be unavailable, a Timeout parameter
is provided so that the IBox can complete, but with an Error (Error Code = 1004 decimal).
See also the ECOM100 IP Setup (ECIPSUP) IBox 717 to directly set up ALL of the TCP/IP
parameters in a single instruction - IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100), or
a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
The “Enable DHCP” setting is stored in Flash-ROM in the ECOM100 and the execution
of this IBox will disable the ECOM100 module for at least a half second until it writes the
Flash-ROM. Therefore, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you only execute this IBox
ONCE, on the second scan. Since it requires a LEADING edge to execute, use a NORMALLY

ECDHCPE Parameters
•
ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated
with this specific ECOM100 module in the specified
slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference
this ECOM100 module must reference this logical

DHCP server and has a valid IP Address. Therefore, a timeout parameter is needed in case the 13
ECOM100 cannot find a DHCP server. If a timeout does occur, the Error bit will turn on and
the error code will be 1005 decimal. The Success bit will turn on only if the ECOM100 finds
a DHCP Server and is assigned a valid IP Address. If successful, turn on C100. If there is a 14

Rung 2: On the second scan, read whether DHCP is enabled or disabled in the ECOM100
and store it in C5. DHCP is the same protocol used by PCs for using a DHCP Server to 10
automatically assign the ECOM100’s IP Address, Gateway Address, and Subnet Mask. The
ECDHCPQ is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input leg). 11
The command to read (Query) whether DHCP is enabled or not will be sent to the ECOM100
whenever the power flow into the IBox goes from OFF to ON. If successful, turn on C100. If
12
there is a failure, turn on C101.

ECOM100# K0. All other ECxxxx IBoxes refer to this module # as K0. If you need to move
the module in the base to a different slot, then you only need to change this one IBox. V400 is
used as a global result status register for the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100
module.V401 is used to coordinate/interlock the logic in all of the other ECxxxx IBoxes using
this specific ECOM100 module. V402-V502 is a common 130-byte buffer available for use
by the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100 module.

ECOM100 Send EMail, on a leading edge transition, will behave as an EMail client and send
an SMTP request to your SMTP Server to send the EMail message to the EMail addresses
in the To: field and also to those listed in the
Cc: list hard coded in the ECOM100. It will
send the SMTP request based on the specified
ECOM100#, which corresponds to a specific
unique ECOM100 Configuration (ECOM100)
at the top of your program.
The Body: field supports what the PRINT and
VPRINT instructions support for text and
embedded variables, allowing you to embed
real-time data in your EMail (e.g., “V2000 = “
V2000:B).
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private
register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST
NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the request is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100),
an SMPT protocol error (between 100 and 999), or a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
Since the ECOM100 is only an EMail Client and requires access to an SMTP Server, you
MUST have the SMTP parameters configured properly in the ECOM100 via the ECOM100’s
Home Page and/or the EMail Setup instruction (ECEMSUP). To get to the ECOM100’s
Home Page, use your favorite Internet browser and browse to the ECOM100’s IP Address,
e.g., http://192.168.12.86
You are limited to approximately 100 characters of message data for the entire instruction,
including the To: Subject: and Body: fields. To save space, the ECOM100 supports a hard
coded list of EMail addresses for the Carbon Copy field (cc:) so that you can configure those
IN the ECOM100, and keep the To: field small (or even empty), to leave more room for the
Subject: and Body: fields.
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.

The ECEMAIL is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input
leg). An email will be sent whenever the power flow into the IBox goes from OFF to ON. This
11
helps prevent self-inflicted spamming.
If the EMail is sent, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101. If it fails, you can look

5-286

ECOM100 Restore Default EMail Setup, on a leading edge transition, will restore the original
EMail Setup data stored in the ECOM100 back to the working copy based on the specified
ECOM100#, which corresponds to a
specific unique ECOM100 Configuration
(ECOM100) at the top of your program.
When the ECOM100 is first powered up,
it copies the EMail setup data stored in
ROM to the working copy in RAM. You
can then modify this working copy from
your program using the ECOM100 EMail
Setup (ECEMSUP) IBox. After modifying
the working copy, you can later restore the
original setup data via your program by using
this IBox.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100), or
a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.
ECEMRDS Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated with this specific ECOM100 module in the
specified slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference this ECOM100 module must
reference this logical number
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will be used by the instruction
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the request is completed successfully
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction is not completed successfully
• Error Code: specifies the location where the Error Code will be written

ECEMRDS Example (cont’d)
Rung 3: Once the EStop is pulled out, take the president off the cc: list by restoring the default
EMail setup in the ECOM100.
The ECEMRDS is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input
leg). The ROM-based EMail configuration stored in the ECOM100 will be copied over the
“working copy” whenever the power flow into the IBox goes from OFF to ON (the working
copy can be changed by using the ECEMSUP IBox).
If successful, turn on C102. If there is a failure, turn on C103. If it fails, you can look at
V2001 for the specific error code.

Used

HPP

N/A

ECOM100 EMail Setup, on a leading edge transition, will modify the working copy of the
EMail setup currently in the ECOM100 based on the specified ECOM100#, which corresponds
to a specific unique ECOM100 Configuration
(ECOM100) at the top of your program.
You may pick and choose any or all fields to
be modified using this instruction. Note that
these changes are cumulative: if you execute
multiple ECOM100 EMail Setup IBoxes,
then all of the changes are made in the order
they are executed. Also note that you can
restore the original ECOM100 EMail Setup
that is stored in the ECOM100 to the working
copy by using the ECOM100 Restore Default
EMail Setup (ECEMRDS) IBox.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100), or
a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
You are limited to approximately 100 characters/bytes of setup data for the entire instruction.
So if needed, you could divide the entire setup across multiple ECEMSUP IBoxes on a fieldby-field basis, for example do the Carbon Copy (cc:) field in one ECEMSUP IBox and the
remaining setup parameters in another.
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.
ECEMSUP Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated with this specific ECOM100 module in the
specified slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference this ECOM100 module must
reference this logical number.
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will be used by the instruction.
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the request is completed successfully.
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction is not completed successfully.
• Error Code: specifies the location where the Error Code will be written.
• SMTP Server IP Addr: optional parameter that specifies the IP Address of the SMTP Server on the
ECOM100’s network.
• Sender Name: optional parameter that specifies the sender name that will appear in the “From:”
field to those who receive the e-mail.
• Sender EMail: optional parameter that specifies the sender EMail address that will appear in the
“From:” field to those who receive the e-mail.

Rung 2: Whenever an EStop is pushed, ensure that president of the company gets copies
of all EMails being sent.The ECOM100 EMail Setup IBox allows you to set/change the
SMTP EMail settings stored in the ECOM100. The ECEMSUP is leading edge triggered,
not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input leg). At power-up, the ROM-based EMail
configuration stored in the ECOM100 is copied to a RAM-based “working copy”. You can
change this working copy by using the ECEMSUP IBox. To restore the original ROM-based
configuration, use the Restore Default EMail Setup ECEMRDS IBox.
If successful, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101. If it fails, you can look at
V2000 for the specific error code.

DS5

Used

HPP

N/A

ECOM100 IP Setup will configure the three TCP/IP parameters in the ECOM100: IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address, on a leading edge transition to the IBox. The ECOM100
is specified by the ECOM100#, which corresponds
to a specific unique ECOM100 Configuration
(ECOM100) IBox at the top of your program.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private
register used by this IBox and MUST BE UNIQUE
in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used
anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on
once the command is complete. If there is an error,
the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100
error code (less than 100), or a PLC logic error
(greater than 1000).
This setup data is stored in Flash-ROM in the ECOM100 and will disable the ECOM100
module for at least a half second until it writes the Flash-ROM. Therefore, it is HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED that you only execute this IBox ONCE on the second scan. Since it
requires a LEADING edge to execute, use a NORMALLY CLOSED SP0 (NOT First Scan)
to drive the power flow to the IBox.
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.
ECIPSUP Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated with this specific ECOM100 module in the
specified slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference this ECOM100 module must
reference this logical number.
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will be used by the instruction.
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the request is completed successfully.
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction is not completed successfully.
• Error Code: specifies the location where the Error Code will be written.
• IP Address: specifies the module’s IP Address.
• Subnet Mask: specifies the Subnet Mask for the module to use.
• Gateway Address: specifies the Gateway Address for the module to use.

N/A

ECOM100 Read Gateway Address will read the four parts of the Gateway IP address and store
them in four consecutive V-memory locations in decimal format, on a leading edge transition
to the IBox.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete.
In order for this ECOM100 IBox to function, you must turn ON dip switch 7 on the
ECOM100 circuit board.
ECRDGWA Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number
associated with this specific ECOM100
module in the specified slot. All other
ECxxxx IBoxes that need to reference this
ECOM100 module must reference this
logical number.
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location
that will be used by the instruction.
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once
the request is completed successfully.
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction is not completed successfully.
• Gateway IP Addr: specifies the starting address where the ECOM100’s Gateway Address will be

BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 2: On the second scan, read the Module Name of the ECOM100 and store it in V3000
thru V3003 (8 characters). This text can be displayed by an HMI.
The ECRDNAM is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input
leg). The command to read the module name will be sent to the ECOM100 whenever the
power flow into the IBox goes from OFF to ON.
If successful, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101.

ECWRIP Example
Rung 1: The ECOM100 Config IBox is responsible for coordination/interlocking of all
ECOM100 type IBoxes for one specific ECOM100 module. Tag the ECOM100 in slot 1 as
ECOM100# K0. All other ECxxxx IBoxes refer to this module # as K0. If you need to move
the module in the base to a different slot, then you only need to change this one IBox. V400 is
used as a global result status register for the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100
module. V401 is used to coordinate/interlock the logic in all of the other ECxxxx IBoxes using
this specific ECOM100 module. V402-V502 is a common 130-byte buffer available for use
by the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100 module.

NOTE: An ECOM100 IBox instruction is used without a permissive contact. The top line will be identified in
BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 2: On the second scan, assign the IP Address of the ECOM100 to 192.168.12.100
The ECWRIP is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input leg).
The command to write the IP Address will be sent to the ECOM100 whenever the power flow
into the IBox goes from OFF to ON.
If successful, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101. If it fails, you can look at
V2000 for the specific error code.
To configure all of the ECOM100 TCP/IP parameters in one IBox, see the ECOM100 IP
Setup (ECIPSUP) IBox.

The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
3
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Either the Success or Error bit parameter will turn on once the command is complete. If there
is an error, the Error Code parameter will report an ECOM100 error code (less than 100), or 4
a PLC logic error (greater than 1000).
The Module ID is stored in Flash-ROM in the ECOM100 and the execution of this IBox 5
will disable the ECOM100 module for at least a half second until it writes the Flash-ROM.
Therefore, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you only execute this IBox ONCE on the 6
second scan. Since it requires a LEADING edge to execute, use a NORMALLY CLOSED SP0
(STR NOT First Scan) to drive the power flow to the IBox.

ECWRSNM Example
Rung 1: The ECOM100 Config IBox is responsible for coordination/interlocking of all
ECOM100 type IBoxes for one specific ECOM100 module. Tag the ECOM100 in slot 1 as
ECOM100# K0. All other ECxxxx IBoxes refer to this module # as K0. If you need to move
the module in the base to a different slot, then you only need to change this one IBox. V400 is
used as a global result status register for the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100
module. V401 is used to coordinate/interlock the logic in all of the other ECxxxx IBoxes using
this specific ECOM100 module. V402-V502 is a common 130-byte buffer available for use
by the other ECxxxx IBoxes using this specific ECOM100 module.

NOTE: An ECOM100 IBox instruction is used without a permissive contact. The top line will be identified in
BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 2: On the second scan, assign the Subnet Mask of the ECOM100 to 255.255.0.0
The ECWRSNM is leading edge triggered, not power-flow driven (similar to a counter input
leg). The command to write the Subnet Mask will be sent to the ECOM100 whenever the
power flow into the IBox goes from OFF to ON.
If successful, turn on C100. If there is a failure, turn on C101. If it fails, you can look at
V2000 for the specific error code.
To configure all of the ECOM100 TCP/IP parameters in one IBox, see the ECOM100 IP
Setup (ECIPSUP) IBox.

ECRX Example (cont’d)
Rung 2: Using ECOM100# K0, read X0-X7 from Slave K7 and write them to slave K5 as fast
as possible. Store them in this local PLC in C200-C207, and write them to C300-C307 in
slave K5.
Both the ECRX and ECWX work with the ECOM100 Config IBox to simplify all networking
by handling all of the interlocks and proper resource sharing. They also provide very simplified
error reporting. You no longer need to worry about any SP “busy bits” or “error bits,” or what
slot number a module is in, or have any counters or shift registers or any other interlocks for
resource management.
In this example, SP1 (always ON) is driving both the ECRX and ECWX IBoxes in the same
rung. On the scan that the Network Read completes, the Network Write will start that same
scan. As soon as the Network Write completes, any pending operations below it in the program
would get a turn. If there are no pending ECOM100 IBoxes below the ECWX, then the very
next scan the ECRX would start its request again.
Using the ECRX and ECWX for all of your ECOM100 network reads and writes is the fastest
the PLC can do networking. For local Serial Ports, DCM modules, or the original ECOM
modules, use the NETCFG and NETRX/NETWX IBoxes.

5-322

ECOM100 WX Network Write performs the WX instruction with built-in interlocking with
all other ECOM100 RX (ECRX) and ECOM100 WX (ECWX) IBoxes in your program to
simplify communications networking. It will perform the WX on the specified ECOM100#’s
network, which corresponds to a specific unique ECOM100 Configuration (ECOM100) IBox
at the top of your program.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Whenever this IBox has power, it will write data from the master’s V-memory buffer to
the specified slave starting with the given slave element, giving other ECOM100 RX and
ECOM100 WX IBoxes on that ECOM100# network a chance to execute.
For example, if you wish to read and write data continuously from five different slaves, you can
have all of these ECRX and ECWX instructions in ONE RUNG driven by SP1 (Always On).
They will execute round-robin style, automatically!
ECWX Parameters
• ECOM100#: this is a logical number associated
with this specific ECOM100 module in the
specified slot. All other ECxxxx IBoxes that
need to reference this ECOM100 module must
reference this logical number.
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that
will be used by the instruction.
• Slave ID: specifies the slave ECOM(100) PLC
that will be targeted by the ECWX instruction.
•
From Master Element (Src): specifies the
location in the master ECOM100 PLC where
the data will be sourced from.
• Number of Bytes: specifies the number of bytes to write to the slave ECOM(100) PLC.
• To Slave Element (Dest): specifies the slave address the data will be written to.
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the request is completed successfully.
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction is not completed successfully.

NETCFG Example
The Network Configuration IBox coordinates all of the interaction with other Network
IBoxes (NETRX/NETWX). You must have a Network Configuration IBox for each serial
port network, DCM module network, or original ECOM module network in your system.
Configuration IBoxes must be at the top of your program and must execute every scan.
This IBox defines Network# K0 to be for the local CPU serial port #2 (KF1). For local CPU
serial ports or DCM/ECOM modules, use the same value you would use in the most significant
byte of the first LD instruction in a normal RX/WX rung to reference the port or module. Any
NETRX or NETWX IBoxes that need to reference this specific network would enter K0 for
their Network# parameter.
The Workspace register is used to maintain state information about the port or module, along
with proper sharing and interlocking with the other NETRX and NETWX IBoxes in the
program. This V-memory register must not be used anywhere else in the entire program.

NOTE: The Network Configuration IBox instruction is used without a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

NETRX Example
Rung 1: The Network Configuration IBox coordinates all of the interaction with other
Network IBoxes (NETRX/NETWX). You must have a Network Configuration IBox for
each serial port network, DCM module network, or original ECOM module network in your
system. Configuration IBoxes must be at the top of your program and must execute every scan.
This IBox defines Network# K0 to be for the local CPU serial port #2 (KF1). For local CPU
serial ports or DCM/ECOM modules, use the same value you would use in the most significant
byte of the first LD instruction in a normal RX/WX rung to reference the port or module. Any

identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

DL205 User Manual, 4th Edition, Rev. D

Chapter 5: Standard RLL Instructions

NETRX Example (cont’d)
Rung 2: Using Network# K0, read X0-X7 from Slave K7 and write them to slave K5 as fast as
possible. Store them in this local PLC in C200-C207, and write them to C300-C307 in slave
K5.
Both the NETRX and NETWX work with the Network Config IBox to simplify all networking
by handling all of the interlocks and proper resource sharing. They also provide very simplified
error reporting. You no longer need to worry about any SP “busy bits” or “error bits,” or what
port number or slot number a module is in, or have any counters or shift registers or any other
interlocks for resource management.
In this example, SP1 (always ON) is driving both the NETRX and NETWX IBoxes in the
same rung. On the scan that the Network Read completes, the Network Write will start that
same scan. As soon as the Network Write completes, any pending operations below it in the
program would get a turn. If there are no pending NETRX or NETWX IBoxes below this
IBox, then the very next scan the NETRX would start its request again.
Using the NETRX and NETWX for all of your serial port, DCM, or original ECOM network
reads and writes is the fastest the PLC can do networking. For ECOM100 modules, use the
ECOM100 and ECRX/ECWX IBoxes.

Network WX Write performs the WX instruction with built-in interlocking with all other
Network RX (NETRX) and Network WX (NETWX) IBoxes in your program to simplify
communications networking. It will perform the WX on the specified Network number,
which corresponds to a specific unique Network Configuration (NETCFG) at the top of your
program.
The Workspace parameter is an internal, private register used by this IBox and MUST BE
UNIQUE in this one instruction and MUST NOT be used anywhere else in your program.
Whenever this IBox has power, it will write data from the master’s V-memory buffer to the
specified slave starting with the given slave element, giving other Network RX and Network
WX IBoxes on that Network number a chance to execute.
For example, if you wish to read and write data continuously from five different slaves, you can
have all of these NETRX and NETWX instructions in ONE RUNG driven by SP1 (Always
On). They will execute round-robin style, automatically!
NETWX Parameters
• Network#: specifies the (CPU ports, DCMs,
ECOMs) Network # defined by the NETCFG
instruction
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that
will be used by the instruction
• Slave ID: specifies the slave PLC that will be
targeted by the NETWX instruction
•
From Master Element (Src): specifies the
location in the master PLC where the data will
be sourced
• Number of Bytes: specifies the number of bytes
to write to the slave PLC
• To Slave Element (Dest): specifies the slave address the data will be written to
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the request is completed successfully

CTRIO Example (local base)
Rung 1: This sets up the CTRIO module in slot 2 of the local base. Each CTRIO module in
the system will need a separate CTRIO Config IBox before any CTRxxxx IBoxes can be used.
The CTRIO has been configured to use V2000 through V2025 for its input data, and V2030
through V2061 for its output data.

CTRIO Example (EBC base)
Overview: ERM Workbench must first be used to assign memory addresses to the I/O modules
in the EBC base. Once the CTRIO module memory addresses are established using ERM
Workbench, they are used in CTRIO Workbench and in a CTRIO IBox instruction to
configure and define a specific CTRIO module. For this example, the CTRIO module uses
V2000 - V2017 for its Word Input data and B40416.0 - B40423.15 for its Bit Input data.
The module uses V2100 - V2123 for its Word Output data and B40515.0 - B40522.15 for
its Bit Output data. The starting addresses, V2000 and V40416 (for inputs) and V2100 and
V40515 (for outputs) are entered into CTRIO Workbench I/O Map to configure this specific
CTRIO module. These starting addresses are the memory locations used in the CTRIO IBox
instruction as the Word Input, Bit Input, Word Output and Bit Output addresses as shown
below. For more information on this topic, refer to the CTRIO User Manual “Program
Control” chapter.

NOTE: The CTRIO Configuration IBox instructions do not require a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 1: This sets up the CTRIO module in slot 2 of the local base. Each CTRIO module in
the system will need a separate CTRIO Config IBox before any CTRxxxx IBoxes can be used.
The CTRIO has been configured to use V2000 through V2025 for its input data, and V2030
through V2061 for its output data.

NOTE: The CTRIO Configuration IBox instruction does not require a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 2: This rung is a sample method for enabling the CTRADPT command. A C-bit is used
to allow the programmer to control the command from Data View for testing purposes.
Turning on C0 will cause the CTRADPT instruction to add a new preset to the preset table for
output #0 on the CTRIO in slot 2. The new preset will be a command to RESET (entry type
K1=reset), pulse time is left at zero as the reset type does not use this, and the count at which
it will reset will be 20.
Operating procedure for this example code is to load the CTRADPT_ex1.cwb file to your
CTRIO, then enter the code shown here, change to RUN mode, enable output #0 by turning
on C2 in Data View, turn encoder on CTRIO to value above 10 and output #0 light will come
on and stay on for all counts past 10. Now reset the counter with C1, enable C0 to execute
CTRADPT command to add a reset for output #0 at a count of 20, turn on C2 to enable
output #0, then turn encoder to value of 10+ (output #0 should turn on) and then continue on
to count of 20+ (output #0 should turn off).

CTREDPT Example
Rung 1: This sets up the CTRIO module in slot 2 of the local base. Each CTRIO module in
the system will need a separate CTRIO Config IBox before any CTRxxxx IBoxes can be used.
The CTRIO has been configured to use V2000 through V2025 for its input data, and V2030
through V2061 for its output data.

(Example continued on next page)

NOTE: The CTRIO Configuration IBox instruction does not require a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Chapter 5: Standard RLL Instructions

CTREDPT Example (cont’d)
Rung 2: This rung is a sample method for enabling the CTREDPT command. A C-bit is used
to allow the programmer to control the command from Data View for testing purposes.
Turning on C0 will cause the CTREDPT instruction to change the second preset from a reset
at a count of 20 to a reset at a count of 30 for output #0 on the CTRIO in slot 2.
Operating procedure for this example code is to load the CTREDPT_ex1.cwb file to your
CTRIO, then enter the code shown here, change to RUN mode, enable output #0 by turning
on C2 in Data View, turn encoder on CTRIO to value above 10 and output #0 light will come
on and stay on until a count of 20 is reached, where it will turn off. Now reset the counter
with C1, enable C0 to execute CTREDPT command to change the second preset, turn on C2
to enable output #0, then turn encoder to value of 10+ (output #0 should turn on) and then
continue past a count of 30 (output #0 should turn off).
Note that we must also reload the profile after changing the preset(s); this is why the CTRLDPR
command follows the CTREDPT command in this example.

CTREDRL Example (cont’d)

1
Turning on C0 will cause the CTREDRL instruction to change the second preset in file 1 from 2
a reset value of 20 to a reset value of 30.
Operating procedure for this example code is to load the CTREDRL_ex1.cwb file to your 3
CTRIO, then enter the code shown here, change to RUN mode, enable output #0 by turning
on C2 in Data View, turn encoder on CTRIO to value above 10 and output #0 light will come
on, continue to a count above 20 and the output #0 light will turn off. Now reset the counter 4
with C1, enable C0 to execute CTREDRL command to change the second preset count value
to 30, then turn encoder to value of 10+ (output #0 should turn on) and continue on to a value 5
of 30+ and the output #0 light will turn off.
Note that it is not necessary to reload this file separately, however, the command can only 6
change one value at a time.

Rung 2: This rung is a sample method for enabling the CTRINPT command. A C-bit is used
to allow the programmer to control the command from Data View for testing purposes.
Turning on C0 will cause the CTRINPT instruction to create a single entry preset table, but
not as a file, and use it for the output #0. In this case the single preset will be set at a count of
15 for output #0.
Operating procedure for this example code is to load the CTRINPT_ex1.cwb file to your
CTRIO, then enter the code shown here, change to RUN mode, enable output #0 by turning
on C2 in Data View, turn encoder on CTRIO to value above 15 and output #0 light will not
come on. Now reset the counter with C1, enable C0 to execute CTRINPT command to create
a single preset table with a preset to set output#0 at a count of 15, then turn encoder to value
of 15+ (output #0 should turn on).

N/A

CTRIO Initialize Preset Table on Reset, on a leading edge transition to this IBox, will create
a single entry Preset Table in memory but not as a file, on a specific CTRIO Output resource.
This IBox will take more than 1 PLC scan to execute. Either the Success or Error bit will
turn on when the command is complete. If the Error Bit is on, you can use the CTRIO Read
Error Code (CTRRDER) IBox to get extended error information.
Entry Type:
K0: Set
K1: Reset
K2: Pulse On (uses Pulse Time)
K3: Pulse Off (uses Pulse Time)
K4: Toggle
K5: Reset Count
Note that the Pulse Time parameter is ignored by some Entry Types.
The Workspace register is for internal use by this IBox instruction and MUST NOT be used
anywhere else in your program.
CTRINTR Parameters
• CTRIO#: specifies a specific CTRIO module based
on a user defined number (see CTRIO Config Ibox)
• Output#: specifies a CTRIO output to be used by
the instruction
• Entry Type: specifies the Entry Type to add during
the edit
• Pulse Time: specifies a pulse time in msecs for the
Pulse On and Pulse Off Entry Types
• Preset Count: specifies an initial count value to begin
at after Reset
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will
be used by the instruction
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the
instruction has completed successfully
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction does not complete successfully

CTRIO Read Error Code, on a leading edge transition to this IBox, will read the decimal
error code value (listed below) from the CTRIO module and place it in the specified Error
Code register. This instruction is not supported when the CTRIO is used in an ERM/EBC
configuration.
Since the Error Code in the CTRIO is only
maintained until another CTRIO command is
given, you must use this instruction immediately
after the CTRIO IBox that reports an error via its
Error bit parameter.
The Workspace register is for internal use by
this IBox instruction and MUST NOT be used
anywhere else in your program.
Error Codes:
0: No Error
100: Specified command code is unknown or unsupported
101: File number not found in the file system
102: File type is incorrect for specified output function
103: Profile type is unknown
104: Specified input is not configured as a limit on this output
105: Specified limit input edge is out of range
106: Specified input function is unconfigured or invalid
107: Specified input function number is out of range
108: Specified preset function is invalid
109: Preset table is full
110: Specified Table entry is out of range
111: Specified register number is out of range
112: Specified register is an unconfigured input or output
2001: Error reading Error Code - cannot access CTRIO via ERM
CTRRDER Parameters

CTRRTPM Parameters
• CTRIO#: specifies a specific CTRIO module based on a
11
user-defined number (see CTRIO Config Ibox).
• Output#: specifies a CTRIO output to be used by the
12
instruction.
• Frequency: specifies the output pulse rate (H2-CTRIO:
20Hz - 25KHz / H2-CTRIO2: 20Hz - 250 KHz).
13
• Duty Cycle: specifies the % of on time versus off time.
This is a hex number. Default of 0 is 50%, also entering
14
50 will yield 50%. 50% duty cycle is defined as on half
the time and off half the time.
A
• Position: specifies the count value, as measured on the
encoder input, at which the output pulse train will be
turned off.
B
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will be used by the instruction.
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the instruction has completed successfully.
C
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction does not complete successfully.

CTRRTPM Example
Rung 1: This sets up the CTRIO module in slot 2 of the local base. Each CTRIO module in
the system will need a separate CTRIO Config IBox before any CTRxxxx IBoxes can be used.
The CTRIO has been configured to use V2000 through V2025 for its input data, and V2030
through V2061 for its output data.

NOTE: The CTRIO Configuration IBox instruction does not require a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

CTRIO Velocity Mode loads the Velocity command and given parameters on a specific Output
resource on a leading edge transition to this IBox.
This IBox will take more than one PLC scan to execute. Either the Success or Error bit will
turn on when the command is complete. If the Error Bit is on, you can use the CTRIO Read
Error Code (CTRRDER) IBox to get extended error information.
The Workspace register is for internal use by this IBox instruction and MUST NOT be used
anywhere else in your program.
CTRVELO Parameters
• CTRIO#: specifies a specific CTRIO module based on a
user defined number (see CTRIO Config Ibox)
• Output#: specifies a CTRIO output to be used by the
instruction
• Frequency: specifies the output pulse rate (H2-CTRIO:
20Hz - 25KHz / H2-CTRIO2: 20Hz - 250 KHz)
• Duty Cycle: specifies the % of on time versus off time.
This is a hex number. Default of 0 is 50%, also entering
50 will yield 50%. 50% duty cycle is defined as on half
the time and off half the time
• Step Count: This DWORD value specifies the number
of pulses to output. A Step Count value of -1 (or
0xFFFFFFFF) causes the CTRIO to output pulses continuously. Negative Step Count values must
be V-Memory references.
• Workspace: specifies a V-memory location that will be used by the instruction
• Success: specifies a bit that will turn on once the instruction has successfully completed
• Error: specifies a bit that will turn on if the instruction does not complete successfully

CTRWFTR Example
Rung 1: This sets up the CTRIO module in slot 2 of the local base. Each CTRIO module in
the system will need a separate CTRIO Config IBox before any CTRxxxx IBoxes can be used.
The CTRIO has been configured to use V2000 through V2025 for its input data, and V2030
through V2061 for its output data.

NOTE: The CTRIO Configuration IBox instruction does not require a permissive contact. The top line will be
identified in BOLD italics, and the instruction name and ID will be in BOLD characters.

Rung 2: This CTRIO Edit Preset Table Entry IBox will change Entry 0 in Table #2 to be a
RESET at Count 3456. This example program requires that you load CTRWFTR_IBox.cwb
into your Hx-CTRIO(2) module.

Rung 3: If the file is successfully editted, use a Write File To ROM IBox to save the edited table
back to the CTRIO’s ROM, thereby making the changes retentive.
