FA Integrated Tool Package

Integrated Simulation for Grea ter Design and Debugging Efficiency

The CX-One FA 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.

Check Interoperability between the Ladder Program and Touch Panel Screens.
Related CX-One Support Software can start automatic integrated simulation (one click simulation) by clicking an icon, which
dramatically reduces the time required to debug the PLCTouch Panel System.
Previously, operation of the ladder program and PT (touch panel)
screen had to be checked separately and the data had to be
downloaded to the Units, but with CX-One Version 2.0, program
and touch-panel screen operation can be checked simultaneously
on the computer. Consequently, operation can be checked before

Previously

the PLC and PT are actually installed and wired, so software

quality can be improved in the design stage. Also, it is not
necessary to download the screen data to the PT each time
corrections are made. Furthermore, equipment downtime is
reduced when upgrading the program or screens.

Integrated Simulation Environment

The integrated simulation environment provided by version 2.0 improves

integration from programming through debugging, where there is a large
effect on design quality. This contributes to increasing the quality of program
verification offline and to higher software quality in upstream processes.

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 CXSimulator in the computer.

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

CX-Designer Test Function

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 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.

FA Integrated Tool Package

Improved Function Block Function ality Helps Structure and Modularize Programming.
Convert Ladder Program Sections to Function Blocks (FB).
Following software guidance, existing ladder program sections
can be selected and easily converted to function blocks. Variables
in the function block are automatically created based on the use
of addresses both within and outside of the selected program
section. The variable types (input, output, internal, or input-

Unit Version
4.0 or Later

output) are also determined automatically. These functions allow

function blocks to be easily created from ladder program sections
with a proven track record in existing programs. High quality
programs can be created.

Security Functions Protect Users Intellectual Property.

The software protection function of CX-One version 1.1, which
provided password protection of user-created FBs, has been
enhanced to protect PT (touch panel) screen data and provide
operator access rights. A password can be set for screen data

created in the CX-Designer. The security function has been

enhanced so that a password input is requested when data is
transferred to the PT or Memory Card. (Supported by NS/NSJseries PTs with system version 6.6 or higher.)

A password is requested when transferring

data (both uploading and downloading), and
the data cannot be transferred unless the
password matches.

FB Password Setting

Edit FB Definitions Online.

Changes can be made to the FB definition itself during operation,
including adding internal variables and changing logic in the FB.
This feature allows FB definitions to be debugged even in

A password can be set for a FB allocated to a project file

in CX-One. Contents of the FB that you do not want
disclosed can be set as a black box or can be writeprotected.

equipment that cannot be stopped, such as equipment that runs
24 hours/day.

User security (operator access rights)

can be set and the operator can be
given one of five access levels. This
function can prevent data from being
overwritten inadvertently or keep
information safe by allowing only
authorized staff to display data, such
as operating information.

Can be changed during operation.

Simplify Equipment Upgrades by Converting Programs from Existing Models.

Expanded ST language programming in FBs improves modularization.
String processing (such as searching and extracting text) can be
performed in ST language without knowing the actual ASCII
character codes or the data size. No-protocol communications
can also be performed easily from the program.

Unit Version
4.0 or Later

An existing program can be read from a C500, C120, or C

P
CPU Unit, converted, and stored as a CX-Programmer file just by
clicking a button in the CX-Programmer and specifying the new
PLC model (CS/CJ, CP, or CVM1). The time required for design
changes can be dramatically reduced because it isn't necessary

Text string operations, which were difficult to handle in the ladder

program, can be executed easily in the FBs. Also, the display
messages and communications commands that are being sent
can be expressed visually, so they are easy to understand.

The no-protocol communications

information is taken from the string
data obtained from the barcode
reader, and the extracted string data
can be processed as a number.

A variable array can be

specified in the FB as
an input-output
variable, so large
amounts of data (table
data, string data, etc.)
can be passed to the
FB easily.

to analyze the program and input the program manually, with the
ever-increasing number of existing model lines. The program
conversion can be done within the company to prevent the loss
of program design know-how.
Note: There are some instructions that cannot be converted. The affected locations in the
program can be found with a program check after opening the converted file. Correct the
relevant instructions.

In the CX-Programmer, the following

series of operations can be performed:
Upload a C500/C120/C
