Open "LadderComOp" (Ladder Transfer Setting), press [OFFLINE]. The screen changes as follows when [OFFLINE] is pressed.

<Solutions>
- Check if any application that uses the COM port is running.
If running, close the application. - Check the COM port number using your PC's Device Manager, and set this port number for [Communication Port] on the [Transfer] -> [Communication Setting] dialog.
