CX-Integrator Makes Start-Up and Recovery Work More Efficient

CX-Integrator software lets you set the PLC network/serial communication system configuration from a computer.

CX-Integrator makes it easy to handle CompoNet assignment, parameter setting, connection state monitoring, comment setting, network diagnosis, etc. from a computer.

CompoNet Features 13

Quick discovery of error locations

You can easily check the connection states of all the slaves and quickly specify error contents. You can check errors not only with tools but also with the master LED (7-segment display). This helps make on-site recovery work more efficient.

The connection states of all the slaves are easily checked.
Minimize the stoppage time and trouble on site."

Separate an error at a branch destination

When you use a repeater unit, you can display the slaves in each segment and can separate any error beyond the repeater.

CompoNet Features 16

Informatization of the all Equipment

Smart features are features of the slave main units that collect a variety information used for from start-up to maintenance.

Monitor network power supply voltage with tools and display units. Slaves collect a variety of information helpful for preventive maintenance and detect errors in connected equipment before problems occur. No need to write a program for monitoring.
