    Hey, all, I'm new to Omron and am finding conflicting information on forums. I have customers who have a bunch of machines with CPM2A's. The Omron rep has told us that we need to purchase a peripheral port cable in order to go onlline with CX-One, upload/download, etc. However, I've found posts in forums showing a pinout for a cable that connects to the serial port of the CPM2A. And CX-One was able to auto-detect the PLC. Is it possible to detect, monitor, upload/download using the serial port on the CPM2A? Or do I need to buy the $400+ cable from Omron and connect through the peripheral port? Thanks!
