Version 3.2 Upgrade Information
The following tables outline the changes that have been made from version 3.1 to version 3.2 of the CX-
Programmer.
• New Models for Automatically Set Data Links
Previous version
(version 3.1)
With automatically set data
links, all nodes shared the
same data using the common
settings, i.e., the send size for
each node was the same, and
send/receive nodes were
always in the order of node
addresses.
Automatic Setting Procedure for Controller Link Networks
1. Go online with the PLC that is to be used as the polling node.
2. Select Data Link – Setup from the CX-Net.
If on the local network (i.e., if the network address is 0), select Controller Link and click the OK
Button.
The Data Link Component Dialog Box will be displayed.
3. Select Automatic Datalink Setup from the Online Menu.
Select Controller Link and click the OK Button.
The Automatic Datalink Dialog Box will be displayed.

type and set the automatic data link areas as shown below.
