Preface Common Techniques Used in This Manual More Allen Bradley Support P–3 We use the following conventions throughout this manual: • Bulleted lists provide information, not procedural steps. • Numbered lists provide sequential steps or hierarchical information. We use this symbol to indicate additional references you can use when you need more information about a particular topic.
Chapter 1 Overview This quick start is designed to provide you with the information you need to get your system up and running quickly. Use this document if you are knowledgeable about Classic PLC-5 products, but may not have used one or more of them recently. The information we provide is geared to “jog your memory.
Chapter 2 Set up the Hardware 1 2 PC with programming software installed Install the hardware (page 2-2) Connect the programming terminal and the PLC 5 processor to the communication card (page 2 6) More terminal cable PLC 5/25 For more information, see the Classic PLC-5 Programmable Controllers Hardware Installation Manual, publication number 1785-6.6.1. Publication 1785 10.
2–2 Set up the Hardware Install the Hardware 1 Configure the I/O Chassis Set the backplane switches. Switch Pressed in at top ON (closed) Last State 1 Pressed in at bottom OFF (open) Always Off ON Outputs of this I/O chassis remain in their last state when a hardware failure occurs. 1 OFF Outputs of this I/O chassis are turned off when a hardware failure occurs.
Set up the Hardware 2 Set the power supply configuration jumper. YN 3 YN Are you using a power supply module in the chassis? Set Y when you install a power supply module in the chassis; set N (the default) when you use an external power supply. PLC 5/20 Processor 2–3 I/O Module I/O Module Y N Install the keying bands. Keying Bands See the user manual for your particular I/O module for information on where to set these between keying bands.
2–4 Set up the Hardware Install the Power Supply 1 Set the jumpers on the back side of the power supply like this: Locking Bar 2 Connect the power cord to the 120V ac connector of the power supply module. This side plugs into connector on the module. insert wire here insert wire here or place tool here place tool here 3 Install the power supply in the chassis 20619-M More Publication 1785 10.3 - October 1996 and snap the module locking bar over the modules.

Top view of processor side view Locking Bar OFF Lift Eector Tab Battery Connector Battery Cover Set Switch assembly SW1 address here 2 To install the battery, slide the battery side connector into the processor side connector until you hear them snap together, and attach the battery cover.
2–6 Set up the Hardware Install the I/O Modules Locking Bar Install each I/O module and connect the wiring arm. Card Guides 20618-M More Connect the Programming Terminal and the PLC 5 Processor to the Communication Card More For more information, see the installation instructions or user manual for the particular module you are installing. 1 Connect the industrial terminal end of the CP cable to the communication card. 2 Connect the CP cable to the connector on the PLC 5 processor.
Chapter 3 Set up the Software More Install the Software and Set Up the Programming System Start the Programming Software 1 Install the software 2 Start the programming software 3 Powerup the system The following instructions are general. For specific information, see the documentation set for your particular software package. Before you install your programming software, make certain you meet the system requirements for that software – sufficient disk space, memory, etcetera.
3–2 Set up the Software Powerup the System Powerup the system if you have not done so already. Check the LED display on the processor. If your system is operating properly, the PROC LED should be steady red. See the following table to proceed. If the PROC LED is not red, turn to chapter 4 for troubleshooting information. If your keyswitch is in this position: you see this message: and then this occurs: PROGRAM Processor RAM is faulted. Press to clear memory.
