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.
