Item CS/CJ-series PLC CX-Simulator
I/O comment storage In the CS/CJ-series PLCs, I/O comments can
be stored in Memory Cards as I/O comment
files.
Same as CS/CJ-series PLC. (The
destination is the hard disk of the
computer.)
Battery installation The battery is not installed when the PLC is
shipped from the factory. Install the provided
battery before using the PLC.
Not available.
Clock function When the battery is installed in the PLC, the
clock will begin from an arbitrary value. Set the
clock with a Programming Device or the
DATE(735) instruction.
Adjusted to the clock of the com-
puter when the CX-Simulator is
started.
I/O Memory Any range of I/O Memory can be saved as a file
in a Memory Card (flash ROM) or EM file mem-
ory with a Programming Device (including Pro-
gramming Consoles) or the instruction provided
for this operation. A Programming Device or
instruction can be used to read the data back
from file memory.
These operations can also be performed with
FINS commands.
Same as CS/CJ-series PLC. (The
hard disk of the computer is used
as memory cards or EM file mem-
ory.)
Batch save/read enable to
save/read I/O memory, PLC
Setup, UM, and other settings as
the own files.
Memory
Cards and
Memory
Cassettes
User program The entire program can be saved as a file in a
Memory Card (flash ROM) or EM file memory
with a Programming Device (including Pro-
gramming Consoles) or the instruction provided
for this operation. A Programming Device or
instruction can be used to read the program
back from file memory.
These operations can also be performed with
FINS commands.
Same as CS/CJ-series PLC. (The
hard disk of the computer is used
as memory cards or EM file mem-
ory.)
Batch save/read enable to
save/read I/O memory, PLC
Setup, UM, and other settings as
the own files.
Periph-
eral port
Host Link, peripheral bus, NT Link (1:N), (Pro-
gramming Console and peripheral bus are
automatically recognized.)
(No-protocol is not possible for the peripheral
port.)
The peripheral port is not sup-
ported.
Mode
RS-232C
port
Host Link, peripheral bus, NT Link (1:N), and
No-protocol.
(1:1 links and peripheral bus are not supported
for the RS-232C port.)
Host Link, No-protocol, and NT
Link are supported.
Periph-
eral port
The peripheral port is not sup-
ported.
Serial com-
munications
(peripheral
port or RS-
232C ports)
Baud
rate
RS-232C
port
300/600/1,200/2,400/4,800/9,600/19,200/38,40
0/57,600/115,200 bps
(Baud rates of 38,400/57,600/115,200 bps are
not standard forRS-232C.)
Same as CS/CJ-series PLC. (The
actual speed will vary depending
on the hardware of the computer.)
Network communications timing Performed as peripheral servicing. When in Continuous Run, per-
formed as peripheral servicing.
When in pausing, the network
communications processing is
performed.
Interrupt control modes If an interrupt occurs during Host Link servicing,
Remote I/O servicing, Special I/O Unit servic-
ing, or execution of an instruction, that process
will be stopped immediately and the task will be
executed instead.
Interrupt is prohibited during pe-
ripheral servicing and execution of
an instruction.
