Our USB I/O Unit–Module Type is a device that is connected to PC via a USB cable.
The USB I/O unit is used by attaching a CONPROSYS nano I/O module.

■Installation Notes

Please register [*** ***-USB-MODULE1] only once for each USB I/O unit.
There is no need to perform this procedure multiple times depending on the number of CONPROSYS nano I/O modules.

Example: If you connect the I/O modules "CPSN-DI-08L" and "CPSN-DO-08L",
              after registering "DIO DIO-USB-MODULE1" once, there is no need to register "DIO DIO-USB-MODULE1" again.
