Special I/O Unit and CPU Bus Unit Settings
One of the new CS/CJ/CP I/O Table Window functions sets the allocated DM area, allocated CIO area, and CPU
Bus Unit Area (Ethernet Units only) for CS/CJ/CP-series Special I/O Units and CPU Bus Units without requiring
the parameter addresses. (This function is supported by the CS/CJ/CP I/O Table Window only.) Even if new
Special I/O Units and CPU Bus Units are purchased, the new Units parameters can be set just by installing the
Unit’s CPS (Component and network Profile Sheet), so it isn’t necessary to upgrade the CX-Programmer.
CPS File Overview
The term CPS is short for the “Component and network Profile Sheet”, which is a CX-One file containing
definition information for a CS/CJ/CP-series Unit or other component. The CPS files are provided in XML file
format.
The CX-Programmer uses the information in the CPS files to identify CS/CJ/CP-series Units in the I/O Table.
Special I/O Unit and CPU Bus Unit settings are also based on these CPS files.
The CPS files are composed of the following CS/CJ/CP-series Unit/Component information:
•
ID information (such as the model number, name, Unit type, and Unit version)
•
Parameter information (offset address, setting parameter name, and setting range or selection options)

Specialized Tool Startup Overview (Supported when CX-Programmer Is
Installed from CX-One)
The Specialized Tool Startup function is a new CS/CJ/CP I/O Table Window function that can start the
Programming Support Tool specific to a particular Unit (Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit) directly from the I/O
Table Window. (This function is supported by the CS/CJ/CP I/O Table Window only.) This function is supported
when the CX-Programmer or other Support Tool is installed from the CX-One. The appropriate Programming
Support Tool can start with the necessary PLC model information, Unit type, and online/offline status
information.
