• Step1:– File->New (Ctrl+N)
How to create a new project?
• Step 2:– Key in project name and select project path– The default plc type is EH– Press <OK> button to create a new project

Workspace
• Step1:
– Move cursor to “Main Program” item and click mouse button (right button)
– Select <New POU…>
How to create a POU (Program) in a project
• The rule of POUs naming– Must be combined by letter, digits or underline.– The first character must be letter or underline.– Case-insensitive – Two consecutive underline are not permitted, such as ‘__POU1’ 或 ‘ POU__1’– Underline can’t place in the rear, such as ‘POU1_’– Max length is 16 characters
How to create a POU (Program) in a project
• Step2:
– Key in POU name
– Select task
– Set password (if need)
How to create a POU (Program) in a project
If task is ‘none’, then this POU will not be executed.
Others language are not allow to select because of machine type
POU comment
How to create a POU (Function Block) in a project
• Step1:– Move cursor to “Function Block” item and click mouse button (right button)– Select <New POU…>
If checked, the function block will has ‘En’ and ‘Eno’ pin
• If EN/ENO item is checked
• If EN/ENO item isn’t checked
How to create a POU (Function Block) in a project
Move cursor to Global Variables node, and double click it.Global variable table will be opened.
Global variable
• Global variables are created for the entire project
• They have global scope, so they are accessible from all POUs
Retentive Memory SettingVariable Allocation Setting
Double click ‘Variables Allocation’ item to open a setting dialog
Double click ‘Retentive Memory’ item to open a setting dialog
• Variable Allocation
– In ISPSoft, every kind of devices need to reserve part of area for the system. Those areas are for function block memory allocation.
– If users use those part of devices, ISPSoft will show error message when compiling.
– If the reserve devices is insufficient, ISPSoft will show linking errors when compiling.

ISPSoftFunction Block Import/Export
• FBs export
– Only the POUs in Function Block item can be exported.
– A exported file can contain several POUs.
– Password protected
• FBs import
– If the file has a password protected. You need to key in the correct password while importing.
– System doesn’t allow two POUs with the same name.
FBs Import/Export
• FBs Import/Export
FBs Import/Export
All of the FBs in the project will be listed over here . Check it if you want to export that FB
If password is set.The system will ask users to key in password when users import this POUs file,
Global variables Import/Export
• Step:
– Move cursor to “Global variables” item and click mouse button (right button)
– Select < Import Global Variable…>
• Global variables import
Global variables Import/Export
If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. System will ask users whether replace it.
Ask users whether users want to clear all of the variable before importing
If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. It will replace the current variables.
If the file exist the same variable in this global variable table. The variables in this file will be discarded
Used Device Report
• Step:
– Move cursor to “Used Device report” node and click mouse button (right button)
– The “Used Device report” can’t be opened until the project compiles correct. Otherwise, the system will show error message as below.
• Before open ‘dvp’ format file, make sure the IL code exist and correct. Otherwise, the system will show error message.
• After translate from dvp to isp format. The codes might increase.

Communication Function
• Run/Stop: Control PLC state• Upload/Download: Transfer data between PC and PLC. The data include
program device comment …. Etc.• Online mode: Connect to PLC and enter monitoring mode. The editor will
become read only.• Online change mode: The editor will become writable in monitoring mode.• Send Change: Send changed code to PLC in monitoring mode.• Device Monitoring: A form to monitor device by key in device name that
you want to monitor• Force X ON: X device can be force set
Force X Device On
• Check and Compile– Check : Check current POU. To check the grammar of codes.– Compile : Check all POUs. If there have function blocks, the compiler will al
location memory for each function block instance. Then adjust tasks to control the running sequence of POU (Program)
• Only when pass the compiling, It can enter the online mode

• PC =>PLC– If ‘Comment and Variables’ item isn’t checked. The system
will only transfer execution code to PLC.
– If ‘Comment and Variables’ is checked. Not only execution code, but also extra information will be download to PLC
