Backup Status:
Whenever the connected PLC is backing up data to the Flash ROM, the backup status indicator will be
displayed as follows:
The indicator will flash during the backup operation. When the backup has been completed no indicator is
displayed.
Note:

Data Trace/Time Chart Monitoring

Once a program has been downloaded into a PLC and is being executed, the program and any associated data
can be graphically traced providing an analytical tool for monitoring program performance.
During the execution of a Data Trace, the PLC records the data values and holds them in an internal buffer.
When the trace is complete, the values are uploaded from the PLC and displayed on the screen.

CX-Net Network Configuration Tool

The CX-Net Network Configuration tool provides procedures for establishing communications to PLCs for
direct and gateway connections. It allows the creation and editing of local and network Routing Tables, and the
creation and editing of Data Link Tables.
To open the CX-Net Network Configuration tool, select Network Configuration Tool from the Tools menu. A
temporary project file (CXP Project.cdm) will be created with the same PLC types in the CX-Programmer
project.
Refer to the CX-Server PLC Tools User Manual for further information.
CX-Programmer _Page 106
With the C-series PLCs, any of the following methods can be used for data transfer and
verification with a ROM Writer.
• Using the CX-Programmer, transfer the program from the computer to the ROM Writer.
• Transfer to program from the ROM Writer to a CX-Programmer project.
• Verify programs between CX-Programmer and ROM Writer.
• Create Intel Hex format files from CX-Programmer programs.
• Input from an Intel Hex format file to the CX-Programmer project.
Note: The data transferred for each PLC is listed below.
