Introduction
Purpose of this Manual
Thank you for purchasing from our Do-more PLC family of products. This manual shows
you how to install, set up, program, troubleshoot and maintain your Do-more PLC. For
installation personnel, this manual contains information on power and signal wiring,
mounting details and configuration procedures.
This manual can be very helpful as a quick reference guide for those who are experienced in
PLCs. For those who may be new to PLCs or our products, reading this manual will give you an
understanding of the variety of features available with the Do-more PLC.
Purpose of this Chapter
This chapter will guide you through the basic set up of a Do-more H2 Series PLC. It contains
step by step instructions on installing the programming software, installing and configuring your
hardware, applying power to the PLC, establishing a communications link, and creating, saving
and writing a project to the CPU. Once these steps are completed, your Do-more PLC will be
running a ladder logic project that you have programmed.
Online Help Files and Other Documentation
Do-more Designer, the Do-more PLC programming software, is available for free download from
our website at:
http://www.automationdirect.com
The software includes searchable online help topics covering all aspects of the software, instruction
set, module set up and communication.

special note. Notes represent information that may make your work quicker or more efficient. The word
NOTE: in boldface will mark the beginning of the text.
