Welcome to the Help system for the Do-more Designer software for the H2 Series, Terminator Series, and BRX series of Do-more PLCs (). The Help file is organized into the following categories:
System Configuration contains Help topics that deal with the System Configuration, and explains the PLC memory system and the data types that are available to work with.
Do-more Designer Software contains Help topics dealing with the programming environment, specifically
the Launchpad, the Project Browser, the tabbed Ladder Views and the Tools
provided to assist the programming effort. It also discusses the debugging
utilities and troubleshooting tools.
Programs, Tasks, Subroutines, and Interrupt Service Routines contains Help topics that discuss the proper usage of these types of code blocks.
Instruction Set contains Help topics for each of the Instructions and are available for use in ladder logic programs.
PID Loops contains Help topics with details on the proper usage of PID loops and the associated process control instructions. Also has topics for the utility programs for tuning the PID Loops and for runtime monitoring of PID loops.
Stage Programming contains Help topics that discuss the various aspects of using the Stage programming instructions to build sequential operations in ladder logic programs.
Hardware contains Help topics dealing with the Do-more CPU's LEDs, DIP Switch Settings, Mode Switch Settings and on-board communication ports.
Simulator (Virtual PLC) contains discussion of how to use the built-in Do-more Simulator as a Virtual PLC.
Communication Capabilities contains Help topics for each of the external communications options available with Do-more CPUs.
Reference contains information used in setting up User Accounts (with Passwords), managing the System Date and Time, both externally and at runtime, the types of Data that are available for use in Do-more projects, how to move a DirectSOFT project (for a DirectLOGIC PLC) to a Do-more project, handling software and firmware updates, and setting up Ethernet resources for communicating to external devices.
Troubleshooting contains help topics for the tools within Do-more Designer to help debug projects and handle error conditions at both development time and at runtime.
Hardware Manuals contains links to the online versions of the Hardware User Manuals for the Do-more Systems.
Introduction contains Help topics dealing with warnings, warranty information, agency approvals, and product updates.
