Programming DH and DH+
Message Procedures
Chapter 6
6-2
The general steps for editing a DH or DH+ message procedure are:
1. Create and edit the ladder program containing message instructions
that control execution of the message procedure.
2. Allocate memory to the necessary data files.
3. Create and edit the message procedure.
You can perform these steps through your programming terminal. Refer to
its user’s manual for detailed information on creating and editing the
ladder program.
You can also perform the third step through an RS-232-C data terminal
connected to an RS-232-C channel on a Peripheral Communication
Module (cat. no. 1775-GA).
Table 6.A gives an example of how to edit the message instruction in the
ladder program. For more details on ladder-program editing, refer to the
user’s manual for your programming device.
