4-1 Support Software Capabilities
The SSS is a complete programming and control package designed for C-series
and CVM1 PCs. It provides not only programming capabilities, but also
advanced debugging, monitoring, and program/data management. The follow-
ing tables provide only a brief introduction to the capabilities of the SSS. For fur-
ther information and actual operating procedures, please refer to the SYSMAC
Support Software Operation Manual: C-series.
CPM1 programming can be performed with all versions of SSS. Ladder Support
Software (LSS) version 5.0 or higher can also be used.
In addition, the SYSMAC-CPT can be used for programming the CPM1. Refer to
the SYSMAC-CPT Support Software Quick Start Guide (W332) and User
Manual (W333) for operation procedures. When programming the CPM1 using
the SYSMAC-CPT, be sure to set the “PC model” on the Support Software to
“CPM1 (CPM1A).”
4-1-1 SSS System Setup
Set the PC Model to “CQM1” and the PC Interface to “PERIPHERAL.” Follow the
directions in the SSS Operating Manual for other System Setup settings.
PC Model If the CPM1 PC doesn’t appear as an option in the SSS’s System Setup, set the
PC Model to “CQM1.” The CPM1 is compatible with the CQM1.
PC Interface Set the PC Interface to the Peripheral Device Port by selecting “PERIPHERAL”
from the submenu. After selecting the Peripheral Device Port, set the commu-
nications baud rate to 9,600 baud.
4-1-2 CPM1 Restrictions and Precautions
When programming the CPM1, set the PC Model on the SSS to “CQM1.” Heed
the following restrictions when programming the CPM1.
Programming Check Since the data area of the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1, some parts of
the area cannot be checked as the CPM1 PC. Pay careful attention to the usable
data area when programming.
Note If a program that contains addresses not supported by the CPM1 are transferred
to the CPM1, a memory error will occur when operation is begun and AR 1308
will turn ON. Refer to the Programming Manual (W228) for differences in
memory areas.
Memory Usage Since the memory of the the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1, the displayed
available memory capacity is larger than the actual available memory capacity.
Pay careful attention to the actual available memory capacity when program-
ming.
Expansion Instructions When a program is transferred after changing the assignment of function codes
for the 18 expansion instructions, a message to “Turn on the DIP switch of the
PC and execute again” is displayed. Change the assignment of the function
codes for the expansion instructions to the default settings before programming.
