CPU Unit
The user program cannot be overwritten.
• If the selected tasks or program are write-protected by selecting this option when registering a pass-
word, only the tasks (program) that are password-protected will be protected from overwriting. It will
still be possible to overwrite other tasks or programs with operations such as online editing and task
downloading.
• All tasks (programs) can be overwritten when program read protection is not enabled.
• The setting to enable/disable creating program files will not take effect unless the program is trans-
ferred to the CPU Unit. Always transfer the program after changing this setting.
