New Functions for Version-1 CS1 CPU Units

Item
Support for CSV and The FREAD/FWRIT instructions can
TXT formats in data be used to read and write hexadecimal
files I/O memory data in CSV or TXT for-
mat. (Previously, only binary format
was supported.)
File operations for The CPU Unit can send commands to
instructions (format- itself using the CMND instruction to
ting, deleting, etc.) perform file operations. (The CPU Unit
could previous not send FINS com-
mands to itself.)
Program replace- The entire user program can be loaded
ments during opera- from a Memory Card to the CPU Unit
tion during operation to replace the pro-
gram. (Previously only
AUTOEXEC.OBJ could be used at
startup to replace the program.)
DM and EM files for DM and EM files can be automatically
automatic transfer at loaded to the CPU Unit at startup.
startup (Previously only the data file
AUTOEXEC.IOM could be used to load
the Special I/O Unit and Inner Board
areas starting at D20000 to the DM
Area. For other parts of the DM Area,
the FREAD instruction had to be used,
i.e., automatic transfer at startup was
not possible.)
Simple backup func- The user program, parameter data,
tion and I/O memory data can be backed
up to a Memory Card by pressing the
memory card power button if simple
backup was specified on the DIP
switch. (Previously a write operation
from a Programming Device was
required to back up all of this data.)
High-speed NT Links High-speed 1:N NT Links are sup-
ported, enabling faster communica-
tions with PTs (Programmable
Terminals) than previously possible.
Only the following PTs support high-
speed NT Links: NT31/NT631-V2 and
the NS-series PT.
High-speed online Less time is required to change part of
editing the program when performing online
editing in MONITOR mode. (Previously
each cycle was increased by up to
90 ms, but the maximum increase for
version-1 CPU Units is 12 ms.)

The following functions have been added or improved in the version-1 CS1
CPU Units (CS1G/H-CPU@@-EV1; previous version: CS1G/H-CPU@@-E).
Function Application
Production results from I/O memory in
the CPU Unit can be written to a Mem-
ory Card in CSV/TXT format, the Mem-
ory Card can be used to read the data
to a computer via a Memory Card
Adapter, and the data can then be
used in spreadsheet software on the
computer.
Spreadsheet data from a computer can
also be transferred in CSV/TXT format
to the CPU Unit's I/O memory via
Memory Cards.
Files can be formatted, deleted, cop-
ied, or renamed and directories can be
created on Memory Cards using ladder
program instructions during operation.
Switching operations while the PLC is
running.
Replacing the program without using a
Programming Device.
Storing settings in the DM and EM
Areas at startup.
Loading data automatically at startup
instead of using FREAD.
All data could be backed up easily and
quickly without a Programming Device
whenever a problem occurs.
Better realtime performance for setting
and monitoring operations on PTs.
The effects on the system are reduced
when changing the program for main-
tenance during operation.
