Installing the Software
This chapter describes how to load the DL5 Off-line Programmer into your
personal computer.
The Off-line Programmer is software for programming DL5 Message
Displays. Using the Off-line Programmer is an efficient way to program
several DL5s with the same message set. The DL5 messages are created
using a personal computer and then downloaded to the display. You can also
receive (upload) messages from a DL5 that has already been programmed.
This software is menu driven with a new screen for each programming step.
It can be used with the following systems:
•
Allen-Bradley 1784-T45, -T47, -T50, and -T60 Industrial Computers
•
Allen-Bradley 6120 and 6121 Industrial Computers

Off-line programming software is supplied on both a 5 1 /
