  Documentation FAQs

Do-more Designer is the programming and documentation software for the BRX PLCs, the H2 Series Do-more PLCs and the Terminator I/O Series Do-more PLCs.

Do-more Designer has been certified to run on Windows 10 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education; Windows Mobile and Mobile Enterprise are NOT supported).

These versions of Windows are no longer supported by Microsoft, but Do-more Designer worked fine with them at one time:
Windows 8 / 8.1
(Home, Pro and Enterprise 32 or 64-bit; Windows 8.1 RT edition is NOT supported).
Windows 7 (Home, Professional, and Ultimate, 32 or 64-bit).
Windows Vista
(Home, Basic and Premium, 32 or 64-bit),
Windows XP (Pro and Home, 32-bit):

Order programming cables separately from Automationdirect.

Do-More Designer can be downloaded at no charge, or a CD copy can be purchased from Automationdirect for a nominal charge. Users of previous versions of Do-more Designer can get a free upgrade through the Check For Updates utility under the Help menu.

Please note: Do-more Designer programming software will not work with any DirectLOGIC PLCs, you must continue to use DirectSOFT PLC Programming Software for all of the DirectLOGIC PLCs.

Display Forces Suspended on the Status Bar and in Ladder Views when the Force table contains entries but the PLC is in Program mode

Updated the PLC-> System Information -> Update OS and Update Gate Array dialogs to show the currently loaded versions of the and the versions of the newest files on the PC.

Pasting (ladder logic, code-blocks, etc.) between projects now opens a dialog prompting for how to handle documentation differences between what is in the clipboard and what is in the project being pasted into.

User Programs and Tasks are now non-retentive by default. Added a checkbox in Code-Block Configuration dialog to optionally make them retentive. See the Help topic on $PgmModeRestart for information on the effects of making Programs and Tasks retentive.

Numerous updates to dialog box text, instruction editors, the ladder display, and the help content.
