1-1 Introduction
Welcome to OMRON Electronics LLC’s Remote PLC communications guide. The purpose of this guide is to allow remote programming monitoring, and diagnostics of OMRON PLCs. This is accomplished by connecting a modem (see parts list) to a computer running CX Programmer, SYSWIN or CPT software, and connecting a modem to the PLC. The user dials into the PLC using the programming software, and standard analog telephone lines. Once the computer is connected to the PLC via modem, the user can program the PLC as if he or she is sitting next to it!
