DirectSOFT6® - DirectLOGIC PLC Programming Software and Cables

DirectSOFT6 programs the entire DirectLOGIC family

PC-DSOFT6 is our DirectLOGIC PLC programming package, with a host of features that make it easier to program your PLC.

It supports full-featured 32-bit Windows-based programming for all six DirectLOGIC PLC families, including all DL05s, DL06s, DL105s, DL205 CPUs, DL305 CPUs, DL405 CPUs, and most of their Koyo cousins.
The software supports a wide array of on-line/off-line programming and documentation features.
Fill-in-the-blank-style IBox instructions make writing your program faster and easier (certain DirectLOGIC CPUs required).

Other features include:

Point and click or function key editing to suit anyone's programming style
Customizable Tool Bars for EVERY menu command
Desktop Themes to allow you to customize your window and tool bar look & feel
All toolbars can be docked to any border or even floated outside of the DirectSOFT window for maximum ladder viewing
Write your program with nicknames instead of data points
I/O cross reference and element usage windows keep track of addresses used
Set up the D0-DCM for the DL05 & DL06 right from the menu. PLC > Setup > D0-DCM allows you to configure each of the two serial ports, no ladder code required
