5 This chapter briefly introduces the use of our PLC programming software (PLC editor2) to write a simple PLC control program and programming operations to help beginners get familiar with and master the operation of our programming software as soon as possible. The following are the development steps of PLC:
6
7 * Step 1: Start our PLC editor2 and enter the programming window.
8 * Step 2: Click "New" to pop up the "New Project" window, and set "PLC Series", "PLC Type" and "Program Language".
9 * Step 3: Click "Program" in the "Project Management" area to start writing the ladder diagram program.
10 * Step 4: Add instructions.
11 * Step 5: Save the program project (when the program has a specified save path, the software will save the current program regularly).
12 * Step 6: Compile the program.
13 * Step 7: Establish a communication connection with PLC.
14 * Step 8: Download the program to the PLC.
15 * Step 9: Start the PLC (RUN state).
16
17 == **Start the software** ==

1535
1536 1. "Module start" is the extension module number (such as module 0).
1537 1. "Address" is the internal writable address of the expansion module, and the address type can be decimal or hexadecimal.
1538 1. "Data type" includes Word (single word), Double Word (double word), Float (single precision floating point number).
1539 1. "Value" is the specific value to be modified (corresponding to the number in the "data type" range), such as -120; the type can be decimal or hexadecimal.
1540 1. Range: decimal (single word -32768~~32767, double word -2147483648~~2147483647), or hexadecimal (single word 0~~FFFF, double word 0~~FFFFFFFF).
1541 1. Click "Set" to write the set value within the correct range to the selected device.
1542
1543 **✎Note: **
1544
1545 1. Modification of the device value must be completed in the case of communication with the PLC.
1546 1. The device must be within the available range of the corresponding PLC model.
1547 1. The input value must be within the allowable range. Decimal (single word -32768~~32767, double word -2147483648~~2147483647), hexadecimal (single word 0~~FFFF, double word 0~~FFFFFFFF), floating point number (±1.175495E-38~~ 3.402823E+38).
