CJ-series Features Section 1-2
Note 1. With CS/CJ-series CPU Units Ver. 2.0 or later, remote programming/mon-
itoring is possible up to 8 levels away. Refer to
1-6-2 Improved Read Pro-
tection Using Passwords
for details.
2. NT Link communications between an NT31/NT631-V2 PT and a CJ-series
PLC are now possible at high speed.
1-2-2 Versatile Functions
Memory Card and File Management Functions
Transfer Data to and from
Memory Cards
Data area data, program data, and PLC Setup data can be transferred as files
between the Memory Card (compact flash memory) and a Programming
Device, program instructions, a host computer, or via FINS commands.
Convert EM Area Banks to
File Memory (CJ1-H and
CJ1 CPU Units Only)
Part of the EM Area can be converted to file memory to provide file manage-
ment capabilities without a Memory Card and with much faster access time
than a Memory Card. (The EM Area can be very useful for storing data such
as trend data as files.)
Automatic File Transfer at
Start-up
The PLC can be set up to transfer the program and/or PLC Setup files from
the Memory Card when the PLC is turned ON. With this function, the Memory
Card provides a flash-ROM transfer. This function can also be used to store
and change PLC configurations quickly and easily.
I/O Memory Files in CSV
and Text Format
It is now possible to save production results and other data (hexadecimal)
from the CPU Unit I/O memory in a Memory Card in CSV or text format. The
data can then be read and edited using personal computer spreadsheet soft-
ware by means of a Memory Card Adapter.
File Operations (Format,
Delete, etc.) from Ladder
Programs
It is possible to format files, delete, copy, change file names, create new direc-
tories, and perform similar operations on a Memory Card from the ladder pro-
gram during PLC operation.
Network 1
Network 2
Network 3
Message transfer between PLCs on a network 3 levels away (including
the local network) for the same or different types of networks.
Seamless message communications are possible across Ethernet, Controller Link, and DeviceNet networks,
enabling easy information integration on machine, machine-to-machine, and machine-to-host levels.
I/O Memory, program,
and parameter areas
stored as files.
