This unit can be plugged directly into a PC for programming as well as the hand-held programmer.
The hand-held programmer can be used for either online control the PLC or offline for program development. It has the ability to perform I/O overrides, PLC mode changes, monitoring I/O and registers, and creating statement list programming. The programming cable can be connected to a PC or directly to the CPU unit. The programmer is compatible with any of the CPU units for the Micro PLC system. The programmer is made up of several components. There is a communications port on its top edge. There is an LCD display, power and error LEDs, a DC 6V adapter jack, and a 39-key keypad.
