We will now look at writing our first program for the BRX Do-More PLC. The Do-More Series allows us to write programs online or offline with the PLC controller. The series will also allow us to do online editing. We can change program information and download the new program between scans of our controller. As a system integrator, this ability can prove very useful to you in the field when troubleshooting your automation system.
Our first program will be the start, stop, jog circuit. Here is a link explaining the logic behind the circuit.

There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Series Controller. Here are just a few.
- Standalone PLC with built-in I/O
- Built-in Data Logging
- Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB - support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet)
- Built-in Analog input and output
- Integrated motion control
- High-speed counters
- Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software)
- Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules
- Part of the Do-More series of PLCs which use the same free software. (Do-More Designer)
- Integrated simulator in the software capable of external communications for testing
The BRX series of programmable logic controllers consist of four different units. They differ depending on the Inputs and Outputs built into the unit and if it has an ethernet port.
No I/O Micro PLC unit – (BX ME)
10 Point Micro PLC unit – (BX 10/10E)
18 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 18/18E)
36 Point Micro PLC unit - (BX 36/36E)
These CPUs (Central Processing Units) are also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities.
