About this Manual:
The CPM1A is a compact, high-speed Programmable Controller (PC) designed for control operations in
systems requiring from 10 to 100 I/O points per PC. There are two manuals describing the setup and
operation of the CPM1A: the CPM1A Operation Manual (this manual) and the CPM1/CPM1A/CPM2A/
CPM2C/SRM1(-V2) Programming Manual (W353).
This manual describes the system configuration and installation of the CPM1A and provides a basic
explanation of operating procedures for the Programming Consoles. It also introduces the capabilities of
the SYSMAC Support Software (SSS). Read this manual first to acquaint yourself with the CPM1A.
The CPM1/CPM1A/CPM2A/CPM2C/SRM1(-V2) Programming Manual (W353) provides detailed
descriptions of the CPM1A’s programming functions. The SYSMAC Support Software Operation Manu-
als: Basics and C-series PCs (W247 and W248) provide descriptions of SSS operations for the CPM1A
and other SYSMAC C-series PCs. The SYSMAC-CPT Support Software Quick Start Guide (W332) and
User Manual (W333) provide descriptions of ladder diagram operations in the Windows environment. The
WS02-CXPC1-E CX-Programmer User Manual (W361) and the CX-Server User Manual (W362) provide
details of operations for the WS02-CXPC1-E CX-Programmer.
Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provide before attempting
to install and operate the CPM1A.
