Restrictions on Connecting by USB
The following restrictions apply to the connection of the CP1E to a computer due to the USB specifica-
tions. Keep these restrictions in mind when using the USB port.
• Only one CP1E CPU Unit can be connected by USB to a single personal computer. It is not possible
to connect multiple CP1E CPU Units simultaneously.
• Do not remove the USB cable while connected online. The application must be offline before the

• If the cycle time is too long, it may result the communication failure when CX-Programmer tries to
work online. In this case, click the Settings button on the right side of Network Type in the Change
