Write-protection
Using the DIP Switch
The user program can be write-protected by turning ON pin 1 of the CPU
Unit’s DIP switch. When this pin is ON, it won’t be possible to change the user
program or parameter area (e.g., PLC Setup and routing tables) from the CX-
Programmer. This function can prevent the program from being overwritten
inadvertently at the work site.
It is still possible to read and display the program from the CX-Programmer
when it is write-protected.
