series *3 , data can be written to only CPUs with the following software version or later.
The earlier software version is not available.
• AnNCPU (S1): Version L or later for the one with link, version H or later for the one without link
• A2SCPU: Version H or later
• A0J2HCPU (With/without link): Version E or later
• A0J2HCPU-DC24: Version B or later
• A2CCPU: Version H or later
*1: When connecting to A1NCPU, A1NCPUP21, A1NCPUR21, A2NCPU, A2NCPUP21, A2NCPUR21, CA2NCPU-
S1, A2NCPUP21-S1, A2NCPUR21-S1, A3NCPU, or A3NCPUP21
*2: When connecting to A2SCPU or A2SCPU-S1
*3: When connecting to A0J2HCPU, A0J2HCPUP21, A0J2HCPUR21, A0J2HCPU-DC24, or A2CCPU
When connecting or disconnecting converter/cable for GT SoftGOT1000
• When connecting or disconnecting converter/cable that receives 5VDC power
When connecting or disconnecting the converter/cable that receives 5VDC power from a
programmable controller, power off the programmable controller and start working.
• When connecting or disconnecting converter/cable that does not receive 5VDC power
When connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices and the cables that do not receive 5VDC
power from a programmable controller (receives the power from an external power supply), follow
the procedure as below.
1) Be sure to use an earth band or touch a grounded metal object before working to discharge the
