Hardware Requirements

Required memory (RAM) size depends on the size of your programs to be created. If the required memory (RAM) size is largerthan your PCs memory (RAM) size, operation of CX-Programmer might be slowed down.

*1: For Windows95 and CS/CJ series PLC, you cannot use I/O table and Unit Setup of CX-Programmer (unavailable are parameter setting,dedicated tool activation, consumption current indication, rack width indication, and DIP switch status monitor of advanced unit).

*2: Specified program size indicates that for one registered PLC. If more than one PLC is registered for a project, about 1MB of memory isrequired for every 1000 steps of your program.

For details of PC in which CX-One can be installed, refer to CX-One Setup Manual, Chapter 2 Installation and Uninstallation.
