Paper-cup forming machine CF-3: VFD-EL over Modbus, heater permissives and cup counting on a DVP-14SS2
Design, program, test and document the control system for a cam-driven paper-cup forming machine: a DVP-14SS211R with a DVP-16SP11R extension, the main drive on a Delta VFD-EL commanded and read over Modbus RTU, two hot-air heater controllers as permissives, blank and bottom-paper sensors, a cup-out counter for sleeves and shift totals, guard doors through a safety relay, and a DOP-107BV screen. You deliver the ISPSoft project, your own I/O list, drive parameter list and FAT record, and the operator note. The sample pack shows what an integrator hands over for the same machine.

FAQ
Common questions
Is ISPSoft free?
Yes. ISPSoft, COMMGR and WPLSoft are free downloads from Delta Electronics. COMMGR includes the simulator used throughout.
Do I need Factory I/O?
No. The Factory I/O projects are shown so you can follow the logic; the practice tasks work in the simulator. Factory I/O has a trial if you want to build them.
Which Delta PLCs does this cover?
The DVP series (SS, SA, ES, EH) which shares one instruction set. The AS series uses ISPSoft too but with a different device model; the differences are mentioned where they matter.
Do I need a VFD or a second PLC?
No. The Modbus and PLC Link modules are followed on screen; the practice tasks ask you to write the register maps and ladder, which you can test against a Modbus simulator.
What computer do I need for the Delta DVP PLC with ISPSoft course?
A 64-bit Windows 10 machine with 8 GB of RAM. ISPSoft is Windows-only.
Is the Delta DVP PLC with ISPSoft course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a Delta Electronics qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a Delta Electronics credential and is never described as one.
Who made the video lessons in the Delta DVP PLC with ISPSoft course?
The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.
Is the Delta DVP PLC with ISPSoft course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?
Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
Is there classroom PLC training in India as well?
Yes. EDWartens India runs the Automation Engineer Program (AEP), a classroom programme at its Electronic City centre in Bangalore. The Automation Engineer Program (AEP) teaches Delta PLC programming in person at our Electronic City centre, alongside the other PLC brands it covers. This free course is separate and fully online; it is a good way to try the subject before deciding on classroom training. Details are at edwartens.co.in/delta-plc-training-bangalore, and the programme itself at edwartens.co.in/courses/aep.
