The CX-Programmer (version 4.0 or higher) can be used to upload or down-
load only the required tasks. This enables the member of a development team
to work separately and then upload/download tasks after debugging them,
helping to eliminate the need for unification work by a manager as well as mis-
takes that can easily occur in such work.
■
Read Protection for Specific Tasks
Passwords can be set to read-protect individual groups of tasks. This enables
creating black boxes in the program.
■ Enabling/Disabling Creating File Memory Program Files
When read protection is set, an optional setting allows you to enable or dis-
able creating program backup files (.OBJ). This setting can be used to prevent
programs from being disclosed.
■
Program Write Protection
The user program can be protected without using the DIP switch setting. This
helps prohibit unauthorized or accidental program changes.
Write operations to a CPU Unit using FINS commands across networks can
be enabled for specific nodes and disabled for all other nodes. This can be
used to enable monitoring data via networks while eliminating the possibility
of accidental mistakes caused by careless writing operations.
By using the CS1W-ETN21 Ethernet Unit, online connection is possible to any
PLC in the local network from a Programming Device, such as the CX-Pro-
grammer, as soon as the network is connected by using automatic I/O alloca-
tion at startup. It's not necessary to create the I/O tables to enable connection.
This eliminates the need to use a serial connection to create I/O tables before
the CX-Programmer can be connected via Ethernet. Only an Ethernet con-
nection is required to go online and create I/O tables.
FINS commands can be sent across up to 8 network levels (including the local
network). This enables a wider range of communications between devices on
Ethernet and Controller Link Networks.
FINS commands can only be sent across up to 8 network levels when the
destination is a CPU Unit. FINS commands can be sent to other destinations
up to 3 network levels away.
Downloading, uploading, and monitoring of ladder programs or other data is
possible to a PLC connected serially to an NS-series PT from the CX-Pro-
grammer connected to the NS-series PT by Ethernet.
