Here’s a helpful guide for understanding and using Dox mini software in the context of Messung PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).
1. What is Dox mini? Dox mini is a lightweight programming and configuration software used primarily with Messung’s NX7000 series (and some older controllers). It’s based on IEC 61131-3 languages:
Ladder Diagram (LD) Function Block Diagram (FBD) Structured Text (ST) Instruction List (IL)
2. Purpose of Dox mini for Messung PLC
Program download/upload to Messung PLCs Online monitoring of variables, timers, counters Diagnostics (I/O status, CPU errors) Configuration of digital/analog modules
3. System requirements (typical) | Item | Requirement | |------|-------------| | OS | Windows 7/10/11 (32/64-bit) | | RAM | 4 GB minimum | | Communication | RS232, USB, or Ethernet (depending on PLC model) | | Cable | Messung programming cable (usually USB-to-RS485) |
4. Installation steps
Insert CD or run the installer from Messung’s provided USB. Follow the setup wizard. Connect the programming cable between PC and PLC (CPU port). Install USB drivers if prompted (often in \Drivers\USB folder).
5. Connecting to the PLC
Open Dox mini → Project → New or Open . Go to Online → Communication Parameters . Select interface (e.g., COM port, Ethernet IP). Set: dox mini software messung plc
