Application Precautions

• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting

any of the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.

• Changing the operating mode of the PLC (including changing the Star-

tup Mode).

• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.

• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.

• Do not turn OFF the power to the personal computer while installing or

uninstalling CX-Motion-MCH. Doing so may result in corrupted data in the
personal computer.
