Hey All,
I got an older piece of equipment here, controls done with an Automation Direct 06 plc (OEM is long gone).
I'm trying to piece together documentation and figure out how this thing works.
I do have a schematic of the panel showing the I/O for the PLC, and I have an old copy of DirectSoft-5 and have managed to upload the ladder from the PLC to my computer, and now I am trying to connect the dots, as I may soon be recreating the controls into something a bit more current....
I don't have much experience with this DirectSoft-5 software, and at this point, it seems kinda cryptic to me.
I have gotten my digital I/O labeled in the ladder, now trying to figure out the analog I/O.
seems there should be a place where you assign an analog to an integer (a "V" number in this software?).
The Help section in DirectSoft refers to I-box instructions of ANLGIN, ANLGOUT, and ANLGCMB for configuring analog modules.
But, a search through the ladder shows no reference to these.
Anyone out there have experience with this software?
Is there another way of getting the analogs assigned to integers?
any insight would be appreciated...
Regards, JohnR
