Support Software

The following tables lists the Support Software that can be installed from CX-One

Support Software in CX-One	Outline
CX-Programmer	Application software to create and debug programs for CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series, C-series, and CVM1/CV-series CPU Units. Data can be created and monitored for high-speed-type Position Control Units.
CX-Integrator	Application software to build and set up FA networks, such as Controller Link, DeviceNet, CompoNet, CompoWay, and Ethernet networks. The Routing Table Component and Data Link Component can be started from here. DeviceNet Configuration functionality is also included.
Switch Box Utility	Utility software that helps you to debug PLCs. It helps you to monitor the I/O status and to monitor/change present values within the PLC you specify.
CX-Protocol	Application software to create protocols (communications sequences) between CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series or C200HX/HG/HE Serial Communications Boards/Units and general-purpose external devices.
CX-Simulator	Application software to simulate CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series CPU Unit operation on the computer to debug PLC programs without a CPU Unit.
CX-Position	Application software to create and monitor data for CS/CJ-series Position Control Units (except for High-speed type).
CX-Motion-NCF	Application software to monitor and set parameters for CS/CJ-series Position Control Units and Servo Drivers that support MECHATROLINK-II communications.
CX-Motion-MCH	Application software to create data for CS/CJ-series MCH Units, create motion programs, and perform monitoring.
CX-Motion	Application software to create data for CS/CJ-series, C200HX/HG/HE, and CVM1/ CV-series Motion Control Units, and to create and monitor motion control programs.
CX-Drive	Application software to set and control data for Inverters and Servos.
CX-Process Tool	Application software to create and debug function block programs for CS/CJ-series Loop Controllers (Loop Control Units/Boards, Process Control CPU Units, and Loop Control CPU Units).
Faceplate Auto-Builder for NS	Application software that automatically outputs screen data as project files for NS- series PTs from tag information in function block programs created with the CX- Process Tool.
CX-Designer	Application software to create screen data for NS-series PTs.
NV-Designer	Application software to create screen data for NV-series small PTs.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT	Application software for setting various units by installing its DTM module.
CX-Thermo	Application software to set and control parameters in components such as Temperature Control Units.
CX-FLnet	Application software for system setting and monitoring of CS/CJ-series Fl-net Units.
Network Configurator	Application software to setup and monitor tag data Link for CJ2 (Built-in EtherNet/IP) CPU Units and EtherNet/IP Units.
NX-IO Configurator	Application software to set up and maintain EtherNet/IP Coupler Units and NX-series I/O Units on an EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit.
CX-Server	Middleware necessary for CX-One applications to communicate with OMRON components, such as PLCs, Display Devices, and Temperature Control Units.
Communications Middleware	Middleware necessary to communicate with CP1/CP2 CPU Units with built-in Ethernet port and to use secure communication with CS/CJ CPU Units.
PLC Tools	A group of components used with CX-One applications, such as the CX-Programmer and CX-Integrator. Includes the following: I/O tables, PLC memory, PLC Setup, Data Tracing/Time Chart Monitoring, PLC Error Logs, File Memory, PLC clock, Routing Tables, and Data Link Tables.

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Operating system (OS) 1 2	Windows 7 (32-bit/64-bit version) 3/ Windows 8.1 (32-bit/64-bit version) 4/ Windows 10 (32-bit/64-bit version) / Windows 11 (64-bit version)
CPU	A processor recommended by Microsoft
*Memory 5**	A memory recommended by Microsoft
Hard disk	Approx. 4.0 GB or more available space is required to install the complete CX-One package.

*1. CX-One Operating System Precaution
1) System requirements and hard disk space may vary with the system environment.
*2. The applications listed in the table below have restrictions.

Application	Restriction
CX-Designer/ NV-Designer	If a new font (e.g., Meiryo) of Windows 7 or later OS is used in a project, the font size on labels may be bigger and protrude from the components if the project is transferred from CX-Designer running on a Windows XP or earlier OS to the NS/NSJ.
CX-Programmer/ CX-Integrator/ Network Configurator	Although you can install CPS files, EDS files, Expansion Modules, and Interface Modules, the virtual store function of Windows OS imposes the following restrictions on the use of the software after installation. These restrictions will not exist if application data is installed using Run as Administrator. If another user logs in, the applications data will need to be installed again. The CPS files will not be automatically updated.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT	.NET Framework 4.8 is required when CX-ConfiguratorFDT Ver.3 is used.
CX-Server	Restrictions are imposed on the following functions. The driver cannot be changed from the default setting if Controller Link is set as the network type in the Change PLC dialog box. Online connections will not be possible through Controller Link Boards or SYSMAC LINK Boards. Online connections using FinsGateway as the network type will not be possible from the CX-Programmer or CX-Integrator. Communications will not be possible though a CS1 Board and PCI bus.

*3. Windows 7 Service Pack1 (KB976932) must be applied.

　　Windows 7 Update (KB4474419 and KB4490628) must be applied to use the auto-update system.

*4. Windows 8.1 Update (KB2919355) must be applied.

*5. The amount of memory required varies with the Support Software used in CX-One for the following Support Software.
　　Refer to user documentation for individual Support Software for details.
CX-Programmer, CX-Designer, CX-Thermo, CX-Simulator, CX-Protocol, CX-Motion, CX-Drive, CX-Process Tool, and
Faceplate Auto-Builder for NS
*6. Refer to the hardware manual for your PLC for hardware connection methods and cables to connect the computer and
PLC.
