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).

1528 **PLC external expansion module:**
1529
1530 1. "Module start" is the extension module number (such as module 0).
1531 1. "Address" is the internal writable address of the expansion module, and the address type can be decimal or hexadecimal.
1532 1. "Data type" includes Word (single word), Double Word (double word), Float (single precision floating point number).
1533 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.
1534 1. Range: decimal (single word -32768~~32767, double word -2147483648~~2147483647), or hexadecimal (single word 0~~FFFF, double word 0~~FFFFFFFF).
1535 1. Click "Set" to write the set value within the correct range to the selected device.
1536
1537 **✎Note: **
1538
1539 1. Modification of the device value must be completed in the case of communication with the PLC.
1540 1. The device must be within the available range of the corresponding PLC model.
1541 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).

2597 **✎Note: **
2598
2599 1. Some instructions can only be entered 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.
2600 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.
2601 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.
2602 1. The maximum number of input columns in the ladder diagram is 13 columns.
