The CS-series PLCs are medium-sized Programmable Controllers that pro-
vide improved programming efficiency by dividing the program into tasks. The
CS-series PLCs also feature faster processing, higher capacities, multiple
ports supporting protocol macros, improved seamless communications
across three network levels, and much more, enabling them to flexibly handle
advanced information capabilities as core FA controllers.
The CS Series includes both CS1 CPU Units and the high-speed CS1-H CPU
Units.
Note Where differentiation is required, "CS1 CPU Units" or "CS1-H CPU Units" is
specified in this manual. "CS1 CPU Units" includes model numbers CS1@-
CPU@@-EV1. "CS1-H CPU Units" includes model numbers CS1@-CPU@@H.
