System Requirements
| Item | Requirement | |
| Operating system (OS) *1 Japanese or English system | Microsoft Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or higher) or XP | Microsoft Windows Vista *4 |
| Computer | IBM PC/AT or compatible with a Pentium II 333 MHz or faster processor (Pentium III 1 GHz or faster recommended.) | IBM PC/AT or compatible with a processor recommended by Microsoft. (1 GHz or faster recommended) |
| Memory | 256 MB minimum *2 | 512 MB min. required.1 GB min. recommended. |
| Hard disk | Approx. 2.5 GB or more available space is required to install the complete CX-One package. | |
| Display | SVGA (800 × 600) or better high-resolution display with 256 colors min. | |
| Disk drive | CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive | |
| Communications ports | RS-232C port, USB port, or Ethernet port *3 | |
| Other | Internet access is required for online user registration, including a modem or other hardware connection method. | |
*1.CX-One Operating System Precaution
System requirements and hard disk space may vary with the system environment.
*2.The amount of memory required varies with the Support Software used in CX-One for the following Support Software. Refer to user documentation for individual Support Software for details.
CX-Programmer, CX-Designer, CX-Thermo, CX-Simulator, CX-Protocol, CX-Motion, CX-Drive, CX-Process Tool, and Faceplate Auto-Builder for NS
*3.An RS-232C port is required to connect the Support Software in CX-One to a PLC. If the computer provides only a USB port, use a CS1W-CIF31 USB-to-RS-232C Conversion Cable. For connecting to the CP Series, however, an over-the-counter USB cable (type A-B) can be used.
For the CX-Drive, the CS1W-CIF31 USB-to-RS-232C Conversion Cable cannot be used to connect a USB port on the computer to the 3G3MV.
Use the recommended commercially available USB-serial conversion cable.
*4.The following restrictions apply when CX-One is used with Microsoft Windows Vista.
1) Some Help files cannot be accessed.
The Help files can be accessed if the Help program distributed by Microsoft for Windows Vista (WinHlp32.exe) is installed. Refer to the Microsoft homepage listed below or contact Microsoft for details on installing the file. (The download page is automatically displayed if the Help files are opened while the user is connected to the Internet.)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607/en-us
2) The following restrictions apply to some application operations.
| Application | Restriction |
| CX-Designer | If a new Windows Vista font (e.g., Meiryo) is used in a project, the font size on labels may be bigger and protrude from the components if the project is transferred from CX-Designer running on a Windows XP or earlier OS to the NS/NSJ. |
| CX-Process | When File Active Serial Port Driver is selected, a message stating that FinsGateway initialization failed may be displayed and the serial driver may not be initialized. |
