CXONE-AL[][]C-V4 / -AL[][]D-V4

The CX-One is an integrated package of Support Software including setup applications for networks, PTs, Servo Drives, Inverters, and Temperature Controllers as well as programming software of PLCs.

A data structure is a user-defined data type that groups various data together. By grouping the data, the large volumes of data handled by a program are made easier to understand and can be registered or changed much easier.

Timer and counter data types can now be treated as symbols in ST and SFC programs. You can thus use them as symbols in arrays to build programs that can be easily reused.

The autotuning feature provided with the CX-Drive makes it easy to adjust the Servo Drive gain.
You can use a wizard to complete gain adjustment in approximately five minutes or less per axis simply by selecting the machine configuration and entering the target set time.

You can also easily monitor Pulse I/O Module settings, output frequencies (on data trace diagrams), and other values.
Note: A Pulse I/O Module must be mounted for CJ2M CPU Units with unit version2.0 or later.

In addition to the 32-bit editions of Windows Vista and 7, the 64-bit editions are now also supported.
Note:The Windows XP 64-bit edition is not supported.

A new method is now available that lets you input instructions directly using mnemonics.
Other functions include automatic addresses for operands, including input bits and output bits, automatic insertion of connecting lines for output and application instructions, and other smart input functions that greatly reduce the work required to input ladder diagrams.
* This function is supported only for ladder diagrams.

When you begin typing an instruction from the keyboard while in the Ladder Editor Window, suggested instructions are displayed.
All you have to do is select the instruction from the list for easy input even if you do not remember the entire mnemonic.

When an output or application instruction is input, the required connecting line is inserted automatically starting at the cursor location.
This greatly simplifies the work required to insert lines.

To create the same group of ladder instructions more than once, the address incremental copy function can be used to reuse the instructions simply by inputting an address offset. Also, address offsets can be set individually and I/O comments can be created automatically.

Clock Pulse Flags, Condition Flags, and other special bits in the Auxiliary can be selected from lists, eliminating the need to remember addresses.

The address of the next operand, including input bits and output bits, is incremented by one and displayed as the default.
This enables easily inputting consecutive addresses.

When an instruction is displayed with a default operand, just press the Shift + Enter Keys to confirm input of both the instruction and operand.
To input the same instruction consecutively, just press the Ctrl + Enter Keys.
We've eliminated the number of steps for key operations wherever possible.

Numeric calculations, conditional branching, and text string processing, all of which can be difficult with ladder diagrams, can be easily programmed using ST.

A data structure is a user-defined data type that groups various data together. By grouping the data, large volumes of data handled by a program are made easier to understand and can be registered or changed much easier.

If the same pattern is repeated in the data, you can define a data structure to enable easily reusing the data in programming.

Even if there are changes to the data, the definition of the data structures can be modified to automatically change the data structures symbols in the symbol table as well.

The timer and counter data types can now be used in ST. This enables using timers in ST to perform wait processing.

(Applicable Models: CJ1W-NC[][]4/NC[]81)

Verifying operation before transferring the memory operation data to the Unit enables smoother startup and reduces the work involved in system verification.

You can verify movements by axis for each task. (Up to four axes can be displayed for each task.) Just click to switch the frame of reference for confirming operating patterns between one/two-axis interpolation, all axes, and pulse output instructions.

(Applicable Models: CJ1W-NC[]81)

Just connect the computer to a CPU Unit port to set up the Position Control Units with EtherCAT interface and EtherCAT communications.
You can also directly start the CX-Drive Support Software to set the Servo Drives connected to the Position Control Units.

The communications parameters for Position Control Units with EtherCAT interface can be set simply by selecting a menu command.

(CX-Programmer)
(Applicable Models: CJ2)

A standard USB cable can be easily connected to the USB port on the front of the CPU Unit.

Easy connection by specifying the computer LAN (Ethernet) port and IP address only.

* CJ2(built-in EtherNet/IP) CPU Units only.

The CJ2 CPU Unit can record a PLC name. Errors in transfers can be prevented ahead of time because the PLC name can be compared with what is in the project file when connecting online.

Even if the IP address is unknown, you can browse a list of PLCs connected to the EtherNet/IP and select one to connect to it. With this, remote debugging and maintenance can be conducted smoothly on site.

* CJ2(built-in EtherNet/IP) CPU Units only.

In addition to creating data links with the EtherNet/IP Datalink Tool using I/O memory addresses, you can also use network symbols for tags to easily create the data links.
With EtherNet/IP, high-speed, high-volume data links can be created with different cycle specifications for each applications, regardless of the number of nodes.

* CJ2(built-in EtherNet/IP) CPU Units only.

A wizard can be used to easily set the tag data links for Ethernet/IP by importing the network symbols for tags from the CX-Programmer.
(Network Configurator)

EtherNet/IP data links can be easily created by setting I/O memory addresses in data link tables.

With CX-One version 3.0, debugging is efficient with simultaneously monitoring and management of multiple networks and PLCs.

The operation of networks with configurations consisting of multiple networks including PLC networks such as EtherNet/IP and Controller Link, field networks such as DeviceNet and CompoNet, and networks for Programmable Terminals and Serial Devices, can be restored simultaneously from the CX-One. Onsite start up and debugging can be conducted efficiently and without errors because PLCs and devices can be selected from the window to transfer programs and parameter data to the computer during operation.

Multiple PLCs can be monitored by displaying them in series on the screen. This way it is easy to debug data links between PLCs and monitor the inputs and outputs of different PLCs.

The desired I/O data can be selected for multiple PLCs, such as input bits, output bits, and word I/O data, and monitored simultaneously. There are also functions such as the Binary Monitor and Forced Set/Reset functions that enables graphical monitoring the ON/OFF status of word data. All of these monitoring functions are easy to use.

Functionality and operability has been significantly upgraded compared to the previous data trace function. The new data trace function provides comprehensive debugging, such as I/O comment display of sampled addresses, specification using symbols, checking the measurement time between two selected points, and layering waveforms. Furthermore, data sampled from the CPU Unit's trace memory can be saved to a file on the computer at a specified frequency. This can be used as for long-term logging of data.

(Applicable Models: CJ2)

Programs can be debugged using a computer without the actual PLC. A wide range of languages, such as ladder diagram, sequential function charts (SFC), structured text (ST), and programs within function blocks are supported. Furthermore, programs can be edited online, bits can be forceset/reset, breakpoints can be set, and a PLC error simulator can be used.

(Applicable Models: CJ2)

There are no size restrictions for the function blocks and SFC that can be edited online.

(Applicable Models: NS Series, NSJ Series)

The time required for designing can be significantly reduced because of the compatibility with SYSMAC CJ-series PLCs. The process of designing screens is easier with expanded function.

Test functions for the CX-Designer and CX-Programmer are linked through the CX-Simulator on a computer. This enables screens and ladder diagrams to be checked simultaneously, significantly improving the debugging efficiency. A new Integrated Simulation Button has been added to the CX-Programmer.
Furthermore, work efficiency has been significantly improved with the function that enables work windows to be pinned in front, and a flexible zoom function.

Special function which can be used for a system with Omron PLC CJ2 and NS-series programmable terminal.
Just drag the data structures on the CX-Programmer and drop it on the CX-Designer.

Note 1: To use CJ2 data structure, prepare CX-Designer Ver.3.2 or higher and NS system program Ver.8.4.
Note 2: This function can be used when the PLC and programmable terminal are connected via EtherNet/IP.

There are over 3,000 Smart Active Parts that can directly access OMRON PLCs and components. Simply select and paste a part from the SAP library onto the screen. Detailed screens and ladder diagrams do not need to be created.

There are many software components in the Software Function SAP Library that can be easily incorporated into the NS-series Programmable Terminals.
Simply select and paste software components on the screen. Device errors can be checked and parameters set without a computer.

There is a troubleshooter SAP library that covers all PLC Units. If there is a PLC error, the troubleshooter SAP library explains the cause and how to implement countermeasures in a way that it is easy to understand.

In addition to the DeviceNet Units and Position Control Units, the CX-Designer also includes Basic I/O Unit, Analog I/O Units, Serial Communications Units, High-speed Counter Units, Controller Link Unit, and ID Sensor Units. Including the EtherNet Units and Motion Control Units is planned in future development stages.

(Applicable Models: NV Series)

Parameters can be set even for Temperature Controllers that do not support communications.
Parameters can be saved, and then copied, or reused and edited (Parameters can be exported in CSV or HTML format.)

To avoid unintentional use of parameters, unused parameters can be masked (i.e., hidden)
