For CS/CJ series PLCs SIOU/Communications Units the following Unit Setup and Software Switches setup can
be performed:
♦ Controller Link Unit;
♦ Device Net and Open Network controllers;
♦ Ethernet Unit;
♦ Serial Communications Unit (Software Switches setup only).
Most of the settings for SIOU/Communications Units should have been set via the PLC setup component. Refer to
Chapter 4 - PLC Setup Component for further details.
Refer to Chapter 3 - Unit Setup and Software Switches for further information.
Caution: Setup to SIOUs that have already been registered should be applied carefully.
Verifying Correct Configuration
If a change is made to the IO configuration that affects a type of IO word or the number of words required by a unit,
for instance adding or removing units, an IO verification error occurs. Select Verify from the Options menu to
ensure that an IO verification error has not occurred. If an error has occurred, use the procedures explained in
Chapter 3 - Creating an IO Table, Chapter 3 - Slot Allocation and Chapter 3 - Transfer an IO Table to rectify any
error.

Unit Setup

The Unit Setup for a selected rack IO option can be edited for CV-series and CS/CJ/CP series PLCs only. For
C-series PLCs, refer to Chapter 8 - CX-Net Network Configuration Tool. Use the following procedure to edit the
Unit Setup.
1, 2, 3...
The PLC Communications Unit Setup dialog allows both the system and software switch memory areas
associated with a mounted Special Input/Output unit (SIOU) to be configured.

Software Switches

The Software Switch settings for a selected rack IO option can be edited for CV-series and CS/CJ/CP series PLCs.
For CV-series PLCs, the Software Switch settings appear in the IO Table tree as SIOU Units. For CS/CJ/CP series
PLCs, the Software Switch settings appear in the IO Table tree as part of the Main Rack information.
The dialog which is presented for software switch setup depends upon the type of the SIOU and allows the
software switch memory area associated with a mounted SIOU to be configured. Software switches provide status
information on each SIO unit on the PLC.
1. Highlight the rack/unit in the IO Table tree.
2. Click the right-mouse button and select Unit Setup.
3. Set the required unit setup options for the specified rack/unit.
Note: The availability of the Unit Setup option depends on the rack/unit selected. The SIOUs
attached to a PLC are shown in the IO Table component.
