CX-ONE Integrates all of the Support Software for OMRON PLCs and Components

• Integrated simulation for greater design and debugging efficiency.

• Support for sequential function charts and structured text provides for a variety of programming language environments.

• Even less time required to design networks.

• Greater beauty, simpler, and better multi-language support.

What is CX-One?

The CX-One 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.

CX-One Version 2.0

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 CX-Simulator in the computer.

Operation can be checked with interconnection between the CX-Designer's test functions and the CX-Programmer/CX-Simulator, which can dramatically reduce the time required to debug the entire machine.

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 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 CX-Programmer, data can be transferred/monitored, and ladder program step execution, cyclic execution, and breakpoint settings can be performed.

 

• CX-Designer Test Function

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.

Improvement in 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.
