Getting Started
introduces the various components of a DL305 PLC system. Also includes tips on getting started and how to design a successful system.

Installation, Wiring, and Specifications
explains how to prepare for system installation, and gives safety guidelines to help protect your personnel and machinery. It includes system and I/O wiring diagrams, and I/O module specifications.

Specifications for F3-08TAS-1 AC Output Module: Module not yet included in manual

CPU Specifications and Operation
lists the specifications for the operating system and communications ports for the DL350 CPU. PLC scan activities, task execution times, data types, and CPU memory maps are included.

System Design and Configuration
explains various ways to expand the I/O and communications networks for your DL305 PLC system. Topics include base power budgeting for I/O modules, local expansion, slice I/O, remote I/O, and MODBUS® networks.

Standard RLL Instructions
describes how each of the 150+ standard instructions operate. Example programs for both DirectSOFT and the handheld programmer are included. Note that drum and stage instructions are in subsequent chapters.

Drum Instruction Programming
describes the four different timer/event drum sequencers available in the DL350 CPU. It begins with a detailed theory of operation, covers control techniques, and reveals how drums solve sequential process problems.

RLL Plus™ Stage Programming
ideal for the beginning programmer - it shows how to develop simple state transition diagrams for your process, and then convert them to stage programs. This programming method is a real time-saver for programming and debug.

PID Loop Operation
explains how the DL350's PID loop capability can control up to 4 loops. Discusses several topics, including PID variable data, loop tuning, alarms, ramp/soak profiles, and more.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
is a guide to aid you in diagnosing, repairing, and avoiding system problems. It includes tips for finding I/O circuit problems, ladder program errors, etc.

Auxiliary Functions
lists all the auxiliary functions, which are utilities that help you manage CPU resources and your application program. These functions are accessible from either DirectSOFT or the handheld programmer.

DL350 Error Codes
lists the error codes generated by the DL350 CPU, including a detailed description of the meaning of each code.

Instruction Execution Times
lists the execution times for all the DL350's instructions, including the elapsed time for not executing inactive instructions in the ladder program.

Special Relays
lists the special relays which are available to the ladder program to indicate system status, error conditions, instruction execution results, etc.

Product Weights
lists the weights of various components in the DL305 product line.

I/O Addressing - Conventional Method
shows how the I/O addressing is handled when a DL-350 CPU is used with an older style base (D3-0xB).
