*1. CX-One Operating System Precaution
        1) System requirements and hard disk space may vary with the system environment.
        2) Except for Windows XP 64-bit version.
*2. The following restrictions apply when CX-One is used with Microsoft Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows
      8.1.
        1) Some Help files cannot be accessed.
              The Help files can be accessed if the Help program distributed by Microsoft is installed. Refer to the Microsoft
              homepage listed below or contact Microsoft for details on installing the file. (The download page is automatically

              http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607/en-us
        2) The following restrictions apply to some application operations.

Application Restriction
CX-Designer/
NV-Designer
If a new Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 font (e.g., Meiryo) is used in a
project, the font size on labels may be bigger and protrude from the components if the project
is transferred from CX-Designer running on a Windows XP or earlier OS to the NS/NSJ.
CX-Programmer/
CX-Integrator/
Network Configurator
Although you can install CPS files, EDS files, Expansion Modules, and Interface Modules, the
virtual store function of Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 8.1 imposes the
following restrictions on the use of the software after installation. These restrictions will not
exist if application data is installed using Run as Administrator.
If another user logs in, the applications data will need to be installed again.
The CPS files will not be automatically updated.
CX-Server Restrictions are imposed on the following functions.
The driver cannot be changed from the default setting if Controller Link is set as the network
type in the Change PLC dialog box.
Online connections will not be possible through Controller Link Boards or SYSMAC LINK
Boards.
Online connections using FinsGateway as the network type will not be possible from the CX-
Programmer or CX-Integrator.
Communications will not be possible though a CS1 Board and PCI bus.

*3. The amount of memory required varies with the Support Software used in CX-One for the following Support Software.
       Refer to user documentation for individual Support Software for details.
       CX-Programmer, CX-Designer, CX-Thermo, CX-Simulator, CX-Protocol, CX-Motion, CX-Drive, CX-Process Tool, and
       Faceplate Auto-Builder for NS
*4. Refer to the hardware manual for your PLC for hardware connection methods and cables to connect the computer and
       PLC.

Support Software

The following tables lists the Support Software that can be installed from CX-One

Support Software in CX-One Outline
CX-Programmer Application software to create and debug programs for CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series, C-
series, and CVM1/C-series CPU Units. Data can be created and monitored for high-
speed-type Position Control Units.
CX-Integrator Application software to build and set up FA networks, such as Controller Link,
DeviceNet, CompoNet, CompoWay, and Ethernet networks. The Routing Table
Component and Data Link Component can be started from here. DeviceNet
Configuration functionality is also included.
Switch Box Utility Utility software that helps you to debug PLCs. It helps you to monitor the I/O status
and to monitor/change present values within the PLC you specify.
CX-Protocol Application software to create protocols (communications sequences) between
CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series or C200HX/HG/HE Serial Communications Boards/Units
and general-purpose external devices.
CX-Simulator Application software to simulate CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series CPU Unit operation on the
computer to debug PLC programs without a CPU Unit.
CX-Position Application software to create and monitor data for CS/CJ-series Position Control
Units (except for High-speed type).
CX-Motion-NCF Application software to monitor and set parameters for CS/CJ-series Position
Control Units and Servo Drivers that support MECHATROLINK-II communications.
CX-Motion-MCH Application software to create data for CS/CJ-series MCH Units, create motion
programs, and perform monitoring.
CX-Motion Application software to create data for CS/CJ-series, C200HX/HG/HE, and CVM1/
CV-series Motion Control Units, and to create and monitor motion control programs.
CX-Drive Application software to set and control data for Inverters and Servos.
CX-Process Tool Application software to create and debug function block programs for CS/CJ-series
Loop Controllers (Loop Control Units/Boards, Process Control CPU Units, and Loop
Control CPU Units).
