FA Integrated Tool Package

Integrated Simulation for Grea ter Design and Debugging Efficiency

The CX-One FA Integrated Tool Package strives to reduce the customer's Total Cost of Ownership by providing a seamless environment to operate the Support Software required for all processes, from FA system design to operation and maintenance. CX-One Version 2.0 focuses on developing FA systems, from programming through debugging. The integrated simulation environment helps reduce the total lead-time for design, development, and startup of equipment and devices.

Check Interoperability between the Ladder Program and Touch Panel Screens.
Related CX-One Support Software can start automatic integrated simulation (one click simulation) by clicking an icon, which dramatically reduces the time required to debug the PLCTouch Panel System.
Previously, operation of the ladder program and PT (touch panel) screen had to be checked separately and the data had to be downloaded to the Units, but with CX-One Version 2.0, program and touch-panel screen operation can be checked simultaneously on the computer. Consequently, operation can be checked before the PLC and PT are actually installed and wired, so software quality can be improved in the design stage. Also, it is not necessary to download the screen data to the PT each time corrections are made. Furthermore, equipment downtime is reduced when upgrading the program or screens.

Integrated Simulation Environment

The integrated simulation environment provided by version 2.0 improves integration from programming through debugging, where there is a large effect on design quality. This contributes to increasing the quality of program verification offline and to higher software quality in upstream processes.

Note: With just one click of the icon, the specified CX-Programmer project file is opened and CX-Simulator starts automatically as a virtual PLC, the ladder program is automatically transferred from the CX-Programmer to the CX-Simulator, and the CX-Designer's Test Window is opened as a virtual touch panel and automatically connected online to the CXSimulator in the computer.

CX-Simulator
This Support Software simulates the operation of a CS, CJ, CP, or NSJ-series CPU Unit without the actual PLC. Some of the CX-Programmer's functions can be executed. The CX-Simulator (a virtual PLC in the computer) can be connected online from the CXProgrammer, data can be transferred/monitored, and ladder program step execution, cyclic execution, and breakpoint settings can be performed.

CPU Bus Unit

CX-Designer Test Function

Note: The touch panel screens can also be debugged using the actual PLC's Basic I/O Units and CPU Bus Units (including Communications Units).

This function simulates the operation of screens created with the CX-Designer. Screen operations can be executed with mouse and key operations (without the actual touch panel) like the Microsoft PowerPoint slide show function. Furthermore, it is possible to monitor the status of addresses used in the displayed screen.
Note: The CX-Simulator and CX-Designer Test function can be made to communicate within the computer by the integrated simulation function of the CX-One Version 2.0.

Improved Function Block Function ality Helps Structure and Modularize Programming.
Convert Ladder Program Sections to Function Blocks (FB).
Following software guidance, existing ladder program sections can be selected and easily converted to function blocks. Variables in the function block are automatically created based on the use of addresses both within and outside of the selected program section. The variable types (input, output, internal, or inputUnit Version 4.0 or Later

Security Functions Protect User's Intellectual Property.

The software protection function of CX-One version 1.1, which provided password protection of user-created FBs, has been enhanced to protect PT (touch panel) screen data and provide operator access rights. A password can be set for screen data created in the CX-Designer. The security function has been enhanced so that a password input is requested when data is transferred to the PT or Memory Card. (Supported by NS/NSJseries PTs with system version 6.6 or higher.)

output) are also determined automatically. These functions allow function blocks to be easily created from ladder program sections with a proven track record in existing programs. High quality programs can be created.

A password is requested when transferring data (both uploading and downloading), and the data cannot be transferred unless the password matches.

FB Password Setting

Edit FB Definitions Online.

Changes can be made to the FB definition itself during operation, including adding internal variables and changing logic in the FB. This feature allows FB definitions to be debugged even in

Unit Version 4.0 or Later equipment that cannot be stopped, such as equipment that runs 24 hours/day.

A password can be set for a FB allocated to a project file in CX-One. Contents of the FB that you do not want disclosed can be set as a black box or can be writeprotected.

Can be changed during operation.

User security (operator access rights) can be set and the operator can be given one of five access levels. This function can prevent data from being overwritten inadvertently or keep information safe by allowing only authorized staff to display data, such as operating information.

Simplify Equipment Upgrades by Converting Programs from Existing Models. Expanded ST language programming in FBs improves modularization.
String processing (such as searching and extracting text) can be performed in ST language without knowing the actual ASCII character codes or the data size. No-protocol communications can also be performed easily from the program. Example: Executing No-protocol Communications with ST Language
SYSMAC C P

Unit Version 4.0 or Later

An existing program can be read from a C500, C120, or C P CPU Unit, converted, and stored as a CX-Programmer file just by clicking a button in the CX-Programmer and specifying the new PLC model (CS/CJ, CP, or CVM1). The time required for design changes can be dramatically reduced because it isn't necessary

to analyze the program and input the program manually, with the ever-increasing number of existing model lines. The program conversion can be done within the company to prevent the loss of program design know-how.
Note: There are some instructions that cannot be converted. The affected locations in the program can be found with a program check after opening the converted file. Correct the relevant instructions.

Text string operations, which were difficult to handle in the ladder program, can be executed easily in the FBs. Also, the display messages and communications commands that are being sent can be expressed visually, so they are easy to understand.

Input-output variables
SYSMAC C120 SYSMAC C500

In the CX-Programmer, the following series of operations can be performed: Upload a C500/C120/C P program from the actual CPU Unit, convert to a CS/CJ/CP/CVM1 program and create a project file, back up the C500/C120/ C P program I/O memory, and download the CS/CJ/CP/CVM1 program to the actual CPU Unit.

Barcode reader

The no-protocol communications commands with a barcode reader can be expressed visually in ST language. Only the required information is taken from the string data obtained from the barcode reader, and the extracted string data can be processed as a number.

A variable array can be specified in the FB as an input-output variable, so large amounts of data (table data, string data, etc.) can be passed to the FB easily.

Even More Capabilities Added to the FA Integrated Tool Package.

Network
CX-Integrator Ver.2.0

The CX Integrator's online network management functions have been improved. A new System Overview Window has been added to provide an easy-to-understand view of the system configuration, even in complex FA systems composed

of multiple PLCs and a network system. Relay PLCs and network connection points can be visually displayed over the previous individual network views to improve the startup and maintenance of device and line (network) units.

CX-Integrator System Overview Window

Because the overall system is easier to view in the System Overview, the network can be displayed in a simplified collapsed version and detailed network information can be confirmed by moving the cursor to a Relay PLC.

Process
CX-Thermo Ver.3.1
The number of supported Temperature Controller models has been increased. The high-speed, high-precision E5 R-T Digital Temperature Controllers and the flexible, modular EJ1 Temperature Controllers with host-device compatibility are now supported.
