  • Page 30 Unit # 00 Connecting to a CPM2C The CPM2C PLCs do not have the same kind of port connectors found on CS-series PLCs. The CPM2C’s communications port handles both RS-232C and peripheral port connections which are divided internally. Therefore, when using the CPM2C, it is necessary to select RS-232C or peripheral port connections, according to the kind of cable and port (on the cable) used, as shown in the following table.
  • Page 31 Settings are written from the Programming Device (a Programming Console or CX-Programmer) directly into the allocation DM area (system setting area) of the CPU Unit. After the settings are written, they become effective by turning the power ON, restarting the unit, restarting the communications port, or executing the STUP command.
