Direct Programming uses the keys on the front panel to create the program and enter any
required data values. The method for Direct Programming is explained in this manual
beginning at Chapter 4.
2.2.2 AL-PCS/WIN-E Programming Software Ver 2.00
This windows based software allows the user to drag and drop the desired Function Block
icons onto the FBD base and construct a program. The program is downloaded to the
α2
controller via the AL-232CAB cable. The visual on-screen connections make the software
easy to grasp for beginners and experienced users alike. The AL-PCS/WIN-E Programming
Software is fully explained in the
α Software Manual.
