Draw a Circuit Diagram with Pico 4-7

Save and Load Circuit Diagrams

There are two ways of saving circuit diagrams in Pico:

• Save to a memory module.
• Save to a PC running PicoSoft programming software.

Once they are saved, programs can be reloaded into Pico, edited, and
run. All circuit diagram data is saved in Pico. In the event of a power
failure, the data is retained until the next time it is overwritten or
deleted.

Memory Module

Each memory module (1760-MM2B) can contain one circuit diagram,
which is inserted into the Pico interface.

The 1760-MM1 and 1760-MM2 memory modules can be read on the
Series B Pico controllers. The Series B Pico controllers can only write
to the 1760-MM2B memory modules.

PicoSoft and PicoSoft Pro

PicoSoft are optional PC programs that allow you to create, store, test
and manage Pico programs. Completed programs are transferred
between your PC and Pico via the connecting cable. Once you have
transferred a circuit diagram, you can monitor the program running in
Pico directly from your PC.
