Step 7. Programming Options
Now that you have now completed all the steps necessary to
mount, wire, and power-up the Micro, you are ready to begin
programming. Two methods of programming the Micro are
available from Modicon: the Hand-held Programmer and Modsoft
Lite software. In this section, each of these options is briefly
discussed, followed by a quick install procedure for Modsoft Lite.
Option 1. Hand-held Programmer
(Modicon Part #520VPU19200)
The Hand-held Programmer is a portable, hand-sized device
which features nonvolatile “flash” memory for bi-directional
program transport. The Hand-held is powered by the Micro or by
an A/C adapter, and lets you perform all programming functions
within the Micro. Features include convenient size, password
protection, and an LCD screen. A cable is provided with the unit
to connect the Hand-held to the Micro. An optional “transfer kit”
permits connection between the Hand-held and a computer
running Modsoft programming software. Since the Hand--held
requires in--depth explanation, refer to the Hand-held Programmer
User Manual (GM--MICR--HHP) for further details about this
product.
Option 2. Modsoft/Modsoft Lite Software
(Modicon Part #371SPU92100)
Modicon supplies programming software for the Micro with either
a full-feature version -- Modsoft -- or a package supporting the
Micro and Compact only -- Modsoft Lite -- which is discussed here.
