APPENDICES
(5) Support for functions dedicated for data communication with
programmable controllers
MX Component provides the functions necessary for data communication with
programmable controllers, including functions for opening/closing communication
lines and reading/writing devices.
Multi-function communication programs can thus easily be developed with MX
Component.

(6) Collecting data on Excel without programming
Using MX Component and MX Sheet (SWnD5C-SHEET-E) allows users to
collect programmable controller device data on Excel with only simple setting
and without any programming.
