Note:

1.CX-One Operating System Precaution System requirements and hard disk space may vary with the system environment.

2.The amount of memory required varies with the Support Software used in CX-One for the following Support Software. Refer to user documentation for individual Support Software for details.
CX-Programmer, CX-Designer, CX-Thermo, CX-Simulator, CX-Protocol, CX-Motion, CX-Drive, CX-Process Tool, and Faceplate Auto-Builder for NS.

3.An RS-232C port is required to connect the Support Software in CX-One to a PLC. If the computer provides only a USB port, use a CS1W-CIF31 USB-to-RS-232C Conversion Cable. For connecting to the CP Series,however, an over-the-counter USB cable (type A-B) can be used.
For the CX-Drive, the CS1W-CIF31 USB-to-RS-232C Conversion Cable cannot be used to connect a USB port on the computer to the 3G3MV.
Use the recommended commercially available USB-serial conversion cable.

4.The following restrictions apply when CX-One is used with Microsoft Windows Vista.
1) Some Help files cannot be accessed.
The Help files can be accessed if the Help program distributed by Microsoft for Windows Vista (WinHlp32.exe) is installed. Refer to the Microsoft homepage listed below or contact Microsoft for details on installing the file.
(The download page is automatically displayed if the Help files are opened while the user is connected to the Internet.)
