    PLC Device Settings

    General Tab:
    Always ensure that you choose the correct CPU and memory for your selected
    PLC, otherwise the PLC may not operate correctly.

    Note: Some PLC CPUs include a fixed built-in memory which is displayed in the
    Program Memory field, but greyed out because it cannot be changed. Where any
    Memory option is selectable, you must select the memory size to match the
    memory card in the CPU or expansion memory.

    CPU Type - If available, choose the CPU Type to match the selected PLC’s CPU.
    Program Memory - If available, choose the memory to match the fitted CPU
    data memory (DM).
    Expansion Memory - If available, choose the memory to match the fitted
    expansion memory (EM).
    File Memory - If available, choose the memory to match the CPU file data
    memory card fitted.
    Timer/Clock - If available, select the Timer for the selected PLC

    You can set the program and expansion memory to read-only by selecting the
    Read Only tick box
    If you wish to make these settings the default setting, press the Default button.

    Network Type

    SYSMAC-WAY
    Provides a simple way of connecting a computer to a PLC or application for
    monitoring and diagnostic purposes. It has a slower transmission speed than
    SYSMAC LINK or Controller Link for example. The connections are either via
    an RS232 interface for a PC to an individual PLC or an RS422 interface for
    multiple PLC connections. You can set up the following connection
    configurations:

    Local: Used when the PLC is directly connected to a communications port on


    your computer.
    Bridge: Used when a PLC is at a remote location, and you are connected to a local
    PLC which in turn is connected to a PLC network and the target machine.
    SYSMAC-LINK
    SYSMAC LINK is a high-speed (2Mbits/s) industrial network supporting the
    connection of multiple PLC’s and one or more computers. Used when a
    SYSMAC-LINK Network Support Board is installed in your computer for direct
    connection to the PLC.

    SYSMAC-NET
    SYSMAC NET is a high-speed (2Mbits/s) LAN employed within medium to
    large-scale systems. Used when the PLC is connected to a SYSMAC-NET
    Network and your computer has a network support board fitted.

    CONTROLLER-LINK
    Used when a SYSMAC NET Network Support Board is installed in your
    computer for direct connection to the PLC. Available as either Tokken Ring or
    Token Bus.

    TOOLBUS
    A network operating in a similar manner to SYSMAC WAY except that it
    transmits data in binary format. Connection is made to a PLC using its peripheral
    port
    PLC Auto Online

    When Auto Online is selected, CX-Programmer will automatically get the


    information of the PLC type and network settings from the connected PLC. It then
    goes online to the connected PLC and asks if the data needs to be uploaded. If the
    Yes button selected, transfers data from the PLC. If CX-Programmer fails to get
    the information, an error message will be displayed. Programs, Symbol Tables, IO
    Table, PLC Settings and Comments in the PLC will be uploaded to CX-
    Programmer automatically.

    Change the serial port for connecting automatically on the Select Serial Port
    dialog. The default serial port is set to COM1.
