Indexes cannot be set in the Address Setting Dialog Box. Enter a index directly into the input area.
An index is an address whose contents is used to determine the address that is referenced. Refer to
Creating Functional Objects in the CX-Designer Online Help for details.
♦
Leading zeros may be omitted from addresses.
For example, both $B10 and $B00010 are acceptable.
Serial A:DM1 and Serial A:DM00001 are also both acceptable.
♦
The numeric address for communications addresses of other company's devices are sometimes
input using hexadecimal numbers. When doing so, input a 0 between the area name and address
number.
Example: Mitsubishi A-series Controllers
• X0A3: Correct input
• XA3: Incorrect input
If a 0 is not input, the number will be treated as a symbol without an address. It is not necessary to
input a 0 between the area name and the address number if hexadecimal is not used to input the
address number. (It is also acceptable to input a 0.)
Example: Mitsubishi A-series Controller
M3 and M00003 are both acceptable.
♦
The device set as the host determines which areas and other settings are displayed.

Select the Symbol Programming Tab from the Switch Input Options. Input the symbol name in the
Name or Address Field. It is possible to input just the symbol name, without inputting the area and ad-
dress.
