CPU Units Section 3-1
3-1 CPU Units
There are four different CPU Units. These are listed in the following table. The
four models can be thought of in two groups: Those which support Inner
Boards and a Communications Unit, and those that do not. There are also dif-
ferences between the CPU Units in program capacity, I/O capacity, the avail-
ability of EM, and the availability of a built-in RS-232C port.
Note I/O capacity = No. of input points (
≤ 256) + No. of output points (≤ 256).

Peripheral Port
Used to connect to Programming De-
vices such as a Programming Console or
a computer running CX-Programmer.
Also supports Host Link and no-protocol
communications.
RS-232C Port (except CQM1H-CPU11-E)
Used for Host Link, no-protocol, 1:1 Data
Link, or NT link (1:1 mode) communications
with external devices or other PCs.
