You may recall, from the CPU specifications in Chapter 3, that the DL06’s ports are capable
of several protocols. Port 1 cannot be configured for the non-sequence protocol. To configure
port 2 using the Handheld Programmer, use AUX 56 and follow the prompts, making the same
choices as indicated below on this page. To configure a port in DirectSOFT, choose the PLC
menu, then Setup, then Setup Secondary Comm Port.
• Port: From the port number list box at the top, choose Port 2.
• Protocol: Click the check box to the left of Non-sequence, and then you’ll see the dialog box shown
below.
• Baud Rate: Choose the baud rate that matches your printer.
• Stop Bits, Parity: Choose number of stop bits and parity setting to match your printer.
• Memory Address: Choose a V-memory address for DirectSOFT to use to store the port setup
information. You will need to reserve 66 contiguous words in V-memory for this purpose.
