Creating Routing Tables

3-8-2 Connecting and Using a Peripheral Device for the PC
Routing tables must be created by a CX-Programmer connected to the PC.
(They cannot be created using a Programming Console.) For details on how to
connect and use a CX-Programmer, refer to the CX-Programmer User’s
Manual.
Note
1. To transfer routing tables for multiple nodes to a PC in one batch, connect
the CX-Programmer to a PC with only one Communications Unit mounted.
Routing tables cannot be transferred to other nodes from a PC with multiple
Communications Units mounted.
2. Routing tables can only be transferred as a batch to multiple nodes within
the same network as the PC to which the CX-Programmer is connected.
