CX-One Version 4.0: Better Than Ever

Easy and intuitive operation to reduce the work involved in programming.     New Feature 1: Smart Input  A Smart Input Function greatly reduces the work required to input programs A complete range of intuitive programming functions is provided, including instruction and address input assistance, address incrementing, and address Incremental Copy. These functions enable waste-free programming with minimal effort.   New Feature 2: Memory Operation Preview  Easier Preliminary Verification of Position Control Units The memory operation data created on the CX-Programmer for CJ1W-NC[][]4 Position Control Units can be used to display graphs and motion paths for the position or speed operations of each axis. This enables smoother startup and reduces the work required for preliminary system verification. *This function will be supported for EtherCAT-compatible Position Control Unit in the near future.   New Feature 3: Easier Network Link Setting  Easier Setting of Tag Data Links for EtherNet/IP Just drag and drop on the network configuration display of the Network Configurator to create tag data links for EtherNet/IP networks.   New Feature 4: Reusable Designs  Easily Reuse Legacy Programs Data Structures: In addition to arrays, which can be used to manage data with the same data type, data structures can be used to manage data with different data types in the same structure. And the data structures are managed using names and data types rather than I/O memory addresses. Using data structures enables building legacy programs for data processing that can be easily reused. Timer and Counter Data Types: Timer and counter data types can now be treated as symbols. You can thus use them as symbols in arrays to build legacy programs that can be easily reused.   Support for More Hardware Products  Support for the SYSMAC CJ2M (coming soon) Windows7 is now supported!   The following units are also be supported. CP1E-NA20 CPU Units (20 points) Compact NV-series NV4W Programmable Terminals CJ1W-AD042/DA042V Analog I/O Units (high-speed models with direct conversion) CJ1W-SCU22/SCU32/SCU42 Serial Communications Units (high-speed models) The following Units will be supported in the near future. CP1E-E10/E14/N14/N60 (10/14/14/60 points) (coming soon) CJ1W-NC281/NC481/NC881 EtherCAT-compatible Position Control Units (coming soon)

Features

Position Control Communications Setup Integrated into the CX-Programmer (coming soon) Applicable Models: CJ1W-NC[]81 Set Up the Position Control Units and Servo Drives from One Connection Just connect the computer to a CPU Unit port to set up the EtherCAT-compatible Position Control Units and EtherCAT communications. You can also directly start the CX-Drive Support Software to set the Servo Drives connected to the Position Control Units.       Network Applicable Models: CJ2 Easy connection with USB A standard USB cable can be easily connected to the USB port on the front of the CPU Unit.   Easy Connection with EtherNet/IP Easy connection by specifying the computer LAN (Ethernet) port and IP address only.   * CJ2 (built-in EtherNet/IP) CPU Units only.   Prevent Connection Errors by Verifying PLC Names 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.   Easy Setting of Tag Data Links for EtherNet/IP 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.     Debugging Time Required for Onsite Startup and Debugging Has Been Significantly Reduced With CX-One version 4.0, debugging is efficient with simultaneously monitoring and management of multiple networks and PLCs. Management of Multiple Networks 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. Ladder Diagram Monitoring for Multiple PLCs 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.   Screen Designing using CX-Designer / NV-Designer The CX-Designer Simplifies the Processes from Screen Design to Debugging for the NS-series Programmable Terminals 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 functionality. Applicable Units: NS Series, NSJ Series Communications Components and the Smart Active Parts (SAP) Library Significantly Reduces the Time Required to Create Ladder Diagrams and Screens 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. Using Software Components, Error Checking and Parameter Setting Can Be Done without a Computer 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. Use the NV-Designer to Easily and Quickly Design Screens for the NV Series of Compact PTs Applicable Units: NV Series   Servomotor Control using CX-Motion-NCF & CX-Motion-MCH The CX-Motion Supports Motion Network Servo Systems Improve productivity of motion network servo systems using MECHATROLINK-II for design, startup, and maintenance. Easy Management of Parameters While Still Connected to PLCs CX-Motion-NCF   Even Easier to Start Up a System CX-Motion-MCH   Control of Temperature Controller using CX-Thermo & CX-Process Tool   The CX-Thermo/CX-Process Software Supports High-level Temperature Control. Setting Temperature Controller Parameters Is Easier CX-Thermo Parameters can be easily set from a list: Easy Parameter Settings 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.)   Displays Only What Is Used To avoid unintentional use of parameters, unused parameters can be masked (i.e., hidden) Applicable Units: E5CN/E5CN-H/E5AN/E5AN-H/E5EN/E5EN-H, EJ1, E5ZN, E5AR/E5AR-T/E5ER/E5ER-T *The DeviceNet type is excluded Programming for the Process Controller Is Easier CX-Process Tool   Control Programs can be constructed by pasting function blocks: Control Can Be Customized Control programs can be constructed by pasting function blocks and connecting them. They can be used for simple PID control, program control, and cascade control.   Easy Creation of an HMI Screens for the NS-series PTs (NS runtime screen) are automatically generated from the function block programs. Standard control screens and tuning screens do not need to be created manually. Applicable Units: CJ1G-CPU4[]P/CPU4[]P-GTC, CS1W-LCB01/LCB05/LCB05-GTC, CS1W-LC001, CS1D-CPU6[]P
