Version 3.2 Upgrade Information
The following tables outline the changes that have been made from version 3.1 to version 3.2 of the CX-
Programmer.
• New Models for Automatically Set Data Links
Previous version
(version 3.1)
New version (version 3.2)
With automatically set data links for Controller Link Networks, 1:N allocations are supported
in which data communications are set individually for the master node and slave nodes. (The
models that support this functionality are listed below.)
Any of the following four settings (data link patterns) can be used for automatic data links.
Equality layout (previous method), common type, 1 to 1 type, or chain type
• CS1W-CLK21-V1 • 3G8F7-CLK21-EV1
• CS1W-CLK12-V1 • 3G8F7-CLK12-EV1
• CS1W-CLK52-V1 • 3G8F7-CLK52-EV1
Applicable
models:
• CJ1W-CLK21-V1
With automatically set data
links, all nodes shared the
same data using the common
settings, i.e., the send size for
each node was the same, and
send/receive nodes were
always in the order of node
addresses.
Note: The 1:N allocations for automatic data links cannot be used with any other models.
Refer to the Controller Link Operation Manual for details.
