*1. CX-Thermo version 4.65 or higher runs on Windows 10.
*2. Use a high-power port for the USB port.
Note:
A driver must be installed on the computer. Refer to the Instruction 
Manual included with the Cable for the installation procedure.
Communications Specifications
* The baud rate, data bit length, stop bit length, and vertical parity can 
be individually set using the Communications Setting Level.
Communications Functions
MELSEC is a registered trademark of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
* Both the programless communications and the component 
communications support the copying.

Ratings
Heater Burnout Alarms and SSR Failure 
Alarms
*1. For heater burnout alarms, the heater current will be measured 
when the control output is ON, and the output will turn ON if the 
heater current is lower than the set value (i.e., heater burnout 
detection current value).
*2. For SSR failure alarms, the heater current will be measured when 
the control output is OFF, and the output will tu
rn ON if the heater 
current is higher than the set value (i.e., SSR failure detection 
current value).
*3. The value is 30 ms for a control period of 0.1 s or 0.2 s.
*4. The value is 35 ms for a control period of 0.1 s or 0.2 s.

communications *
You can use the memory in the PLC to read and 
write E5@C-T parameters, start and reset 
operation, etc. The E5@C-T automatically 
performs communications with PLCs. No 
communications programming is required.

Component 
Communications
When Digital Temperature Controllers are 
connected, set points and RUN/STOP 
commands can be sent from the Digital 
Temperature Controller that is set as the 
master to the Digital Temperature 
Controllers that are set as slaves.
Slope and offsets can be set for the set point.
Number of connected Digital Temperature 
Controllers: 32 max. (including master)
Copying *
When Digital Temperature Controllers are 
connected, the parameters can be copied 
from the Digital Temperature Controller that is 
set as the master to the Digital Temperature 
Controllers that are set as slaves.
