Operation Software for
Windowst
(Catalog Number 6723-PCO)
This Quick Start introduces experienced PLC-5 processor users,
6200 software users, and new Process Configuration and Operation
software users to installing and using PCO software.
Note: You can also use AI software. However, for the purposes of
this Quick Start, we will be using 6200 software.
This document shows you how to set up a system using a typical
configuration. For the purposes of this Quick Start, we will use the
application example of a forced-air grain-drying system to illustrate
the procedures you will use to develop a process control system with
PCO software.
This application example will show you how to:
•
understand and define your process so that you can determine
your control requirements
•
develop PLC code for use with PCO
•
create Jump-to-Subroutine (JSR) instructions and Data Table files
•
configure your process functions and load the appropriate
information about these configurations into your PLC processor
This Quick Start includes:
•
basic information needed to start using the PCO application
quickly and effectively; we do not cover all PCO features
•
high-level procedures with cross-references to other publications
for more detail
Refer to the Process Configuration and Operation Software User
Manual (publication 6723-6.5.1) for more specific information on
PCO functions and features.
