3-8 Connecting to the CX-Programmer Version 2.1 or Lower
The CX-Programmer is connected to the Virtual CPU Unit in the Ladder En-
gine via FinsGateway. Therefore, the Virtual Communications Unit of Fins-
Gateway must be started with the [Connect] operation to connect the
CX-Programmer with the Virtual CPU Unit.
This section describes the procedure for connecting the CX-Programmer ver-
sion 2.1 or lower with the CPU Unit in the Ladder Engine of the CX-Simulator.
Application programs other than the CX-Programmer can be connected in the
similar way.
With CX-Programmer version 3.0 or higher, the CX-Programmer can be con-
nected to the Virtual CPU Unit in the Ladder Engine by selecting the [Auto
Online Function] from the [PLC] menu of the CX-Programmer.
