2D50 PLC User's Manual
Overview of the Manual
This manual contains the following information:
•Chapter 1 introduces the D50 PLC by describing its features and discussing installation
considerations.
•Chapter 2 discusses various system configurations and products that can be used with the D50
PLC.
•Chapter 3 gives performance specifications and operating ranges of the CPU and the D50
series products.
•Chapter 4 describes installation and wiring guidelines and procedures including system design
considerations, wiring the power supply, and connecting the PLC to a PC.
•Chapter 5 introduces many concepts you need to know to program the D50 PLC including
terminology, how the registers are used, different types of address designations, and the CPU
processing procedure.
•Chapter 6 presents detailed information on the Instruction Set that is used by the D50 PLC.
•Chapter 7 discusses testing and troubleshooting procedures.
•Chapter 8 describes electrical interference or noise and the ways you can reduce its influence.
•Appendix A gives rules and procedures for D50 PLC communication.
•Appendix B details the configuration and operation of the integrated special I/O functions of
the D50 PLC, including High Speed counters, Pulse Output, and adjustable inputs.
•Appendix C describes mnemonic programming and the use of the D50 Pocket Editor.
Features of the D50 PLC
The D50 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a versatile and dependable industrial controller,
designed to handle a wide range of small control applications to improve productivity and reduce
operating costs. This “micro” or “brick” PLC provides high-speed processing of user control programs,
and comes with a complete line of expansion I/O modules, including digital and analog. These features
combine to provide the right solution for a multitude of applications.
•The D50 PLC is designed for small-sized control applications that require from 1 to 56
control points, high-speed count or analog capability, and advanced functionality.
•The D50 PLC is built to simplify operation, maintenance, and repair with its modular design.
•I/O flexibility is achieved through the wide variety of available digital and analog modules,
covering a broad range of voltage and current ratings.
The D50 PLC has many additional features that combine to make it the ideal choice for many control
applications.

Chapter 1: Introduction 3
Self Diagnostics
When placed in the Run mode, the D50 PLC performs startup self-diagnostics and error-checking on
the processor, control program, and I/O system. Error status information is stored internally, providing
for quick and easy troubleshooting of system and programming errors.
Large Program Memory
Sufficient program capacity is furnished for even the most demanding applications. Internal program
memory handles up to 2048 separate control steps.
Integrated 700mA Power Supply
The AC-powered D50 PLC controller provides up to 700mA of 24VDC output power. This can
eliminate the need for an additional power supply for standard 24VDC control power requirements.
Battery-Free Program Backup
An EEPROM is used to provide battery-free permanent program and data storage.
I/O Module Support
The D50 PLC I/O expansion module line includes complete coverage of all major standard I/O
requirements. Digital inputs can be of 24 VDC or 115 VAC type, while digital outputs can be 24 VDC
transistor, 115VAC SSR, or relay type. Analog support is available for voltage and current A/D and
D/A.
Peripheral Support
The D50 PLC has two program loader software packages available for use on standard PCs: the DOS-
based GPC5, and the Windows-based WinGPC. These packages provide advanced programming,
monitoring, editing, and troubleshooting for the D50 PLC. A dedicated hand-held programmer is also
available for harsh environments. Cutler-Hammer also offers a complete line of Operator Interface
products and HMI software packages compatible with the D50 PLC.
Note: When this manual uses the term GPC, either GPC5 or WinGPC can be used.

System Installation Considerations
Environmental Considerations
The D50 PLC system should never be installed under the following environmental conditions:
1. Ambient temperature outside the range of 0 to 55°C (32 to 131°F).
2. Direct sunlight.
3. Humidity outside the range of 20% to 90%.
4. Altitudes greater than 10,000 ft. (3,000 m).
5. Corrosive or dusty air.
6. High voltage, high magnetics, or high electromagnetic waves.
7. Locations subject to direct impact greater than 10G or vibrations greater than 1G @ 57-2000
Hz.
Preventing PLC System Malfunctions
1. Use an isolation transformer and line filter on the incoming power to the PLC when in the
vicinity of equipment using or producing high current, high voltage, or large magnetic fields.
2. Separate the main PLC power line ground from all other power grounds. Always use triple-
grounding.
3. Do not exceed the current and power rating of the external 24 VDC provided by the D50
power supply.
4. Avoid system faults due to programming errors by reading and fully understanding this
system manual and the PLC instruction set.
5. Perform regular preventive maintenance on installed systems, checking devices and wiring for
potential breakdowns and failures.
