7. Brugertips
- Analog I/O Customization: When ordering, ensure you select the host unit together with any desired analog input/output options. Analog I/O cannot be shipped separately as they require factory processing and welding with the host. If analog quantities are purchased separately without a host, a download line will be sent by default.
- Programmering Software: For programming the CX3G PLC, you will need compatible software such as WORKS2. This software is typically available for download from the official Coolmay webwebsted.
