Creating a Connection
 
Before you download a program and parameters to a PLC or monitor them online, connect ISPSoft to the PLC. 
In this example, connect ISPSoft to the CPU module AS332T-A with a USB cable. Refer to Section 2.4 in the 
ISPSoft User Manual for more information about connecting ISPSoft to a PLC in other ways. Refer to the AS 
Operation Manual for more information about wiring. 
You can skip this section if you have connected ISPSoft to a PLC successfully as described in Section 
2.4 in the ISPSoft User Manual. 
(1)  Install the modules on the main backplane to match the hardware configuration in HWCONFIG. Make sure 
that the wiring is correct, and then power on the CPU module. 
(2)  Connect the CPU module to the computer with a USB cable. If the USB driver for the AS series CPU 
module is installed on the computer, Delta PLC appears in the Device Manager window, and a port 
number is assigned to Delta PLC. Refer to Appendix A for more information about installing a USB driver. 
(3)  Make sure that COMMGR is started and the icon representing COMMGR is displayed on the system tray. 
If the icon representing COMMGR is not displayed on the system tray, start COMMGR by clicking the 
shortcut on the Start menu (Start > Programs > Delta Industrial Automation > Communication > 
COMMGR). 
 
(4)  Double-click the icon representing COMMGR on the system tray to open the COMMGR window. Click Add 
in the COMMGR window to create a driver.
