Program Protection Section 6-6
2. The entire program can be transferred to another CPU Unit even if individ-
ual tasks in the program are read-protected. The task read protection will
remain in effective for the password-protected tasks.
3. When the CX-Programmer is used to compare a user program in the com-
puter's memory with a user program in the CPU Unit, password-protected
tasks will be compared too.
Restrictions to Function
Block Use Function block definitions can be read even if the entire program or individual
tasks in a program containing function blocks are read-protected.

6-6-2 Write Protection
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.
