• To monitor and set individual contact signals, contact signals must be
input/output using the Contact Distributor block (Block Model 201)
and Internal Switch block (Block Model 209).
• To monitor individual analog signals, analog signals must be output
from the Input Selection block (Block Model 162).
• To set individual analog signals, analog signals must be input to the
Constant Generator block (Block Model 166).
Generate the CX-Process Plus tag file using Execute – Create Tag File – Moni-
tor Plus Tag.
Download the function blocks.
Start the CX-Process Monitor Plus and click the Start Button or the Setup But-
