1. Set the unit numbers of the Loop Control Units (with the rotary switches on
the front panels) (Loop Control Units only).
2. Set the I/O tables.
Note The creation of the I/O tables with the version 6.1 or higher of the CX-
Programmer is restricted as follows:
• The Loop Control Unit will not be recognized. Instead, a message say-
ing that the type of the Unit is unknown will appear after mounting the
Unit/Board, creating the I/O table online, and reading the registered I/O
table on the I/O table window (using From PLC).
• The Loop Control Unit cannot be set in the I/O table by editing the I/O
table offline.
3. Set the CPU Unit's serial communications mode (in PLC Setup settings).
4. Set the DIP switch on the front panel of the CPU Unit, or for a CS1D Duplex
System, on the front panel of the Duplex Unit.
• To use the peripheral port, turn ON pin 4 or the PRPHL pin and set PLC
Setup Programming Console address 144 to 0000 HEX.
• To use the RS-232C port, set pin 5 or the COMM pin to OFF and set PLC
Setup Programming Console address 160 to 0000 HEX (i.e., the default
value).
After the above steps, take the following steps in the CX-Process Tool.
• Set the network address to any value between 000 and 127 for direct serial
connections and set the node address to 01.
• Set the unit address (input in decimal the unit number of the Loop Control Unit
plus 10 Hex) (Loop Control Units only).
• Select Activate Serial Port Driver from the File Menu, set the COM port and
communications speed, and click the OK Button.
If any of the above settings is incorrect, the CX-Process Tool will not connect to
the Loop Controller.
