Note
•When using an RS-232C cable for the computer running CX-Integrator and
connecting to a CS/CJ-series PLC with a Toolbus connection, use a
XW2Z-200S-CV/500S-CV Connecting Cable. (This cable can be used only with IBM
PC/AT or compatible computers.)
•The following connection methods can be used when connecting an RS-232C cable
to a peripheral port on a CS/CJ-series PLC.
