DL305 User Manual, Rev. D
Ch 1: Getting Started -- provides an overview of all the components that can be
used to make up one or many DL305 systems. This chapter shows the basic
concepts of how the pieces fit together. It also explains the DL305 part numbering
system, which will help you quickly identify the various types of modules.
Ch 2: Installation and Safety Guidelines -- shows you how to prepare for system
installation, and gives you guidelines for providing a safe environment for your
personnel and process. Be sure to read this chapter so potential safety problems
can be avoided. In this chapter you will find topics you must consider when installing
a system, the environmental specifications, component dimensions, safety
guidelines, installation guidelines, etc.
Ch 3: DL330/DL330P/DL340 CPU Specifications -- provides details of each of the
DL305 CPUs. This chapter contains the operating specifications for the CPUs,
detailed information on the different types of program storage media available, and
some basic procedures needed to get the CPU ready for programming.
Ch 4: System Configuration, Bases and Expansion Bases -- provides selection
and installation criteria for Local I/O and Local Expansion I/O. This chapter also
discusses the system power budget, which is an important part of the planning and
installation process.
Ch 5: I/O Module Selection Criteria -- contains specific considerations which affect
I/O selection such as sinking, sourcing, and temperature derating characteristics.
Ch 6: Discrete Input Modules -- explains each term you will find on our specification
sheets, provides specifications, wiring diagrams and derating curves (where
applicable) for the DL305 Discrete Input Modules.
Ch 7: Discrete Output Modules -- explains each term you will find on our
specification sheets, provides specifications, wiring diagrams and derating curves
(where applicable) for the DL305 Discrete Output Modules.
Ch 8: System Operation -- explains how the DL305 CPUs control the system
operation. This includes information on I/O updates, application program execution
and memory structure.
Ch 9 : RLL Programming Concepts -- explains the basic concepts used in RLL
programming.
Ch 10: RLLPLUS Programming Concepts -- explains the basic concepts used in
the RLLPLUS programming. This programming method greatly reduces program
design time and simplifies machine startup and troubleshooting.
Ch 11: Instruction Set -- explains how each individual instruction operates.
Ch 12: RLLPLUS Instruction Set -- explains the instructions used with the DL330P
CPU. It also shows some instructions that operate differently with this CPU.
Ch 13: Maintenance and Troubleshooting -- is a guide designed to aid you in
diagnosing, repairing and avoiding system problems.
Appendices A -- D -- there are several appendices referred to throughout the
manual. These include things such as a quick start, error code listing, instruction
execution times, etc.
