4-1 Support Software Capabilities
The SSS is a complete programming and control package designed for C-series
and CVM1 PCs. It provides not only programming capabilities, but also
advanced debugging, monitoring, and program/data management. The follow-
ing tables provide only a brief introduction to the capabilities of the SSS. For fur-
ther information and actual operating procedures, please refer to the SYSMAC
Support Software Operation Manuals: Basics and C-series.
CPM1A programming can be performed with any version of the SSS.
In addition, the SYSMAC-CPT can be used for programming the CPM1A. Refer
to the SYSMAC-CPT Support Software Quick Start Guide (W332) and User
Manual (W333) for operation procedures. When programming the CPM1A
using the SYSMAC-CPT, be sure to set the “PC model” on the Support Software
to “CPM1 (CPM1A).”
Operations for the WS02-CXPC1-E CX-Programmer are provided in the
WS02-CXPC1-E CX-Programmer User Manual (W361) and the CX-Server
User Manual (W362).

4-1-1 SSS System Setup

Set the PC Model to “CQM1” and the PC Interface to “PERIPHERAL.” Follow the
directions in the SSS operating manuals for other System Setup settings.
PC Model If the CPM1A PC doesn’t appear as an option in the SSS’s System Setup, set the
PC Model to “CQM1.” The CPM1A is compatible with the CQM1.
PC Interface Set the PC Interface to the Peripheral Device Port by selecting “PERIPHERAL”
from the submenu. After selecting the Peripheral Device Port, set the commu-
nications baud rate to 9,600 baud.

4-1-2 CPM1A Restrictions and Precautions

When programming the CPM1A, set the PC Model on the SSS to “CQM1.” Heed
the following restrictions when programming the CPM1A.
Programming Check Since the data area of the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1A, some parts of
the area cannot be checked as the CPM1A PC. Pay careful attention to the
usable data area when programming.
Note If a program that contains addresses not supported by the CPM1A are trans-
ferred to the CPM1A, a memory error will occur when operation is begun and
AR 1308 will turn ON. Refer to the Programming Manual (W353) for differences
in memory areas.
Memory Usage Since the memory of the the CQM1 is larger than that of the CPM1A, the dis-
played available memory capacity is larger than the actual available memory
capacity. Pay careful attention to the actual available memory capacity when
programming.
Expansion Instructions When a program is transferred after changing the assignment of function codes
for the 18 expansion instructions, a message to “Turn on the DIP switch of the
PC and execute again” is displayed. Change the assignment of the function
codes for the expansion instructions to the default settings before programming.
The default settings for the CQM1 are as shown in the following table.
