CY3273 QUICK START GUIDE
Using the CY3273 Low Voltage 12-24V AC/DC PLC Evaluation Kit with the PLC
Control Panel Software Application
To evaluate this kit, a second PLC low voltage kit is required (CY3273, CY3275, or CY3277). This guide assumes
that two CY3273 kits are available. If a CY3275 or CY3277 kit is used as the second kit, refer to the Appendix
of the PLC Control Panel GUI User's Guide for making the kit act as a CY3273. More information on the GUI is
described in step 4 on page 2.
