you’ll love DirectSOFT32. Pop up the grid-based documenta-
tion editor and start documenting your heart out. Other
features include:

• Write your program with nicknames instead of data points.

• I/O cross reference and element usage windows keep track of

Stage programming keeps the

sequence in order
RLLPLUS Stage programming can help break a control problem
into smaller pieces and provide benefits such as the following:
• Stages divide the ladder program into sections that correspond to
the states in a flowchart of your process.
• Stages help make large programs more manageable by giving them
some structure.
• Your stage program can have more than one “thread” of execution.
For example, you can have an alarm reporting mini-stage program
(or recipe handler, data acquisition, etc.) running in parallel with the
main logic. This makes stage programming very powerful, because
most of the control functions in a system are very asynchronous.

PC system compatibility
Following are the minimum system requirements for running DirectSOFT32 on a PC:
• Pentium/Celeron CPU, 333Mhz clock speed, CD-ROM for loading software
• Windows 98/2000/NT 4.0 or later, and all Windows XP versions (no DOS, OS/2, MacIntosh,LINUX
or UNIX versions, or 16-bit versions available)
• 32MB free RAM and 11MB free hard disk space
• At least one unused serial communications port
• Color SVGA monitor
NOTES:
Laptops: DirectSOFT32 is perfectly suitable for use with laptop computers as long as they meet the requirements

S OFTWARE
shown above. Most laptops can be ordered with a serial port as an option, which will allow a direct connection to
our DirectLOGIC PLCs. If your laptop has a USB port, consider using our USB to serial adapter, USB-RS232 (min-
imum of DS3.0, build 80 required for support of USB & Windows XP). If your laptop has an Ethernet port and
you are considering a DL205 or DL405 PLC, consider using the H*-ECOM Ethernet Communications Module to
connect your PC to the PLC. (The D2-230 does not support the ECOM).

Monitors: Any size monitor will work, however, larger monitors enhance the features of DirectSOFT32. Also, we
strongly recommend a color monitor. DirectSOFT32 makes use of color to note certain conditions, such as
program editing changes, error conditions, etc.
