1.1 CP-717
The CP-717 Engineering Tool is a software programming package used to control and monitor
MP900-series Machine Controllers.
The CP-717 Engineering Tool runs on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0. In general, the CP-717
running on a personal computer (PC) is called a Programming Device.
A CP-717 Programming Device and an MP900-series Machine Controller are normally con-
nected by an RS-232C communications interface. A CP-215 high-speed communications inter-
face and CP-218 Ethernet interface are also available depending on the MP900-series model.
Refer to the MP900 Series Machine Controller User's Manual: Design and Maintenance for
