A-3 Inner Workings of CP1L/CP1E
This section briefly explains the inner structure, functions, and internal operation flow of CP1L and CP1E
CPU units.
A-3-1 Inner Structure of CPU Units
The inner structure of a CP1L or CP1E CPU unit is shown below.
*CP1E CPU Units do not execute these services.
(1) Transfer of programs and parameter data
• Data in RAM is automatically backed up to the built-in flash memory (CP1E:
• When the unit is powered ON, data is transferred from the built-in flash
(2) Transfer of DM defaults data
• When initiated from CX-Programmer, DM defaults are transferred from RAM
• According to PLC setup, DM defaults are transferred from the built-in flash
(3) Transfer of data between flash memory and memory cassette (Only CP1L)
• When initiated from CX-Programmer, data is transferred from RAM or the
