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).

743 === PLC encryption tool ===
744
745 In the PLC Editor2, you could set a password for the PLC to maintain security. The PLC encryption tool can be set to "upload password", "download password", and "clock password" respectively.
746
747 **Explanation:** The three types of passwords are independent (you must use separate decryption when performing operations), and the set passwords can be the same or different which ensure the safety and independence of PLC. As shown below:
748
749 (% style="text-align:center" %)
750 [[image:image-20220624152122-9.jpeg]]
751
752 **Precautions for setting a password:**
753
754 * The setting steps of "upload password", "download password", and "clock password" are exactly the same (only the type needs to be customized by the user).
755 * The length of the password can only be 8 characters, no more or less than.
756 * When setting a new password, the first time password and the second confirmation password must be the same.
757 * When performing password operations, please ensure that the PLC and PC are in a normal connection state, and the PLC must be in the NOT RUN state (close the switch of the PLC panel).
758 * When the password is entered incorrectly for 5 times, the password is locked, and the password can be entered again only when the PLC is restarted after power off.
759
760 **Steps to set password:**
761
762 * Connect the PLC and PC normally, and run the compiler at the same time;
763 * Turn off the RUN of the PLC;

1133
1134 After selecting the cell, click "Ladder Symbol" in the menu, and enter the operand in the pop-up ladder diagram input box to complete the instruction input. If it is an application instruction, after clicking [[image:5V帮助文档_中性_html_1c8d975fb5bd8c.png]] on the panel, you must input the complete application instruction and its operands in the ladder diagram input box to complete the input instruction. You can also use the shortcut corresponding to the command (see the shortcut key list) to input, and the operation method is the same as the "ladder symbol".
1135
1136 After the instruction input is completed, click the "Execute" button in the ladder diagram input box and it will be displayed in the ladder diagram editing area.
1137
1138 **✎Note: **
1139
1140 1. Some instructions can only be input in the instruction list (IL) editor, but not in the ladder diagram, such as MPS, MPP, etc. When these instructions are directly input in the ladder diagram, no components will be generated.
1141 1. Since coils and application instructions represent the end of one line of the ladder diagram program, no other components can be input after these components.
1142 1. Since the vertical line occupies the space of two lines, when inputting the vertical line, if the corresponding position in the next line is just the middle part of other components, the vertical line cannot be input.
1143 1. The maximum number of input columns in the ladder diagram is 13 columns.

1686 **PLC internal devices:**
1687
1688 * **Devices:**
1689 ** "Devices" are registers and coils (such as C0, M1, etc.) whose values need to be modified within the range of PLC.
1690 ** "Data type" includes Word (single word) , Bit (binary 0 or 1), double Word, float (single precision floating point number).
1691 ** "Value" is the specific value to be modified (corresponding to the number in the range of "Data Type"), such as -120.
1692 ** The data format can be decimal (single word: -32768 to 32767; double word:  -2147483648 to 2147483647) or hexadecimal (single word: 0 to FFFF; double word:  0 to FFFFFFFF).
1693 ** Click "Set" to write the set value within the correct range to the selected device.
1694 * **Execution result: **Record the successfully modified "device", "data type" and "set value" in the form of a list.
1695 * **Record list:**
1696 ** Click any one in the list, and click "Delete" to delete it.

1701
1702 * "Module start" is the extension module number (such as module 0).
1703 * "Address" is the internal writable address of the expansion module, and the address type can be decimal or hexadecimal.
1704 * "Data type" includes Word (single word), Double Word, Float (single precision floating point number) .
1705 * "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.
1706 * The data can be decimal (single word: -32768 to 32767; double word: -2147483648 to 2147483647) or hexadecimal (single word: 0 to FFFF; double word: 0 to FFFFFFFF).

1709 **✎Note: **
1710
1711 1. Modification of the device value must be executed in the case of communication with the PLC.
1712 1. The device must be within the available range of the corresponding PLC model.
1713 1. The input value must be within the allowable range.
1714 1*. Decimal: single word (-32768 to 32767), double word (-2147483648 to 2147483647)
