1 Intended Audience

1 Intended Audience

This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have knowledge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).

•Personnel in charge of installing FA systems

•Personnel in charge of designing FA systems

•Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities

2 Safety Precautions

!Caution When performing any of the following operations, always check the network address and node address of the other node (PLC) and the node address and unit number of the mounted Unit (PLC CPU Bus Unit or Special I/O Unit) or the node address of the Component (DeviceNet Master/Slave or CompoWay/F Slave), and be sure that these operations can be performed safely for the current status of the node (Unit or Component):

•Transferring parameter or program data to the other node

•Changing the operating mode of the other node

Unexpected operation may result if parameter or program data is transferred to the wrong node (DeviceNet Master/Slave or CompoWay/F Slave), the operating mode of the wrong node is changed, or the other node is not in a suitable status to receive the program or parameter data or the operating mode change.

!Caution When changing the target PLC to any PLC other than the relay PLC, check the node address and node number of the target PLC carefully before executing the change. Unexpected operation and injury may result if the wrong PLC is set as the target PLC.

•Changing the operating mode

•Transferring or verifying user-set data link tables

•Transferring or verifying routing tables

•Performing I/O table operations (including transferring CPU Bus Unit or Special I/O Unit parameters)

Note Operations performed from the CX-Integrator are performed for the target PLC, which is not necessarily the same as the relay PLC.

!Caution When transferring parameters that have been created or edited on the computer to actual Units (PLC CPU Bus Units or PLC Special I/O Units) or to actual Components (DeviceNet Masters/Slaves or CompoWay/F Slaves), always check the identifying number of the actual Units or Components (i.e., the unit numbers and unit addresses or node addresses) before executing the transfer. Unexpected operation and injury may result if parameters are transferred to the wrong Unit or Component.

!Caution When changing or removing a routing table (see note), be sure to update the display for the Online Connection Information Window. The display for the Online Connection Information Window could possibly be different from the actual network status. If operations are executed without first updating the display, particularly online operations in the Network Configuration Window, it could cause data to be mistakenly read or written for the wrong network or node address or unit number.

xvi

2 Safety Precautions

Note: Changing or removing a routing table refers to using the CX-Integrator (or a CX-Integrator for another personal computer) to start the Routing Table Component and then changing or removing a routing table for the target PLC (either a local network table or a relay network table).

!Caution Do not execute a broadcast node search if a node exists for something other than an OMRON Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway within the same segment on Ethernet, and when the Ethernet network system is in operation. When a broadcast node search is executed, an OMRON FINS command is sent to all nodes in the segment. Therefore, if a node exists for something other than an OMRON Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway, the FINS command will not be received at that node and unexpected operation may occur.

xvii

3 Application Precautions

3 Application Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the CX-Integrator.

General Communications Precautions

•Do not turn OFF the power to the PLC or disconnect the cable connecting the PLC when the CX-Integrator is online with the PLC. Doing so may cause the computer running CX-Integrator to malfunction.

•Before changing the operating mode, always confirm that doing so will not adversely affect system operation.

•Always check the operation of parameters sufficiently before using them for actual system operation.

•Confirm that resetting CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units will not adversely affect system operation before resetting these Units.

DeviceNet

•Enable the scan list to before operating the system.

•When adding a new node to the network, make sure that the baud rate is the same as other nodes.

•Use specified communications cables.

•Do not extend connection distances beyond the ranges given in the specifications.

•Always turn OFF the power supply to the personal computer, Slaves, and Communications Units before attempting any of the following.

•Attaching or detaching the DeviceNet Board or Card

•Assembling the Units

•Setting rotary switches

•Connecting or wiring the cables

•Connecting or disconnecting connectors

•Be sure that the communications cables and other items with locking devices are properly locked into place.

•Observe the following precautions when wiring the communications cable.

•Separate the communications cables from the power lines or high-tension lines.

•Do not bend the communications cables.

•Do not pull on the communications cables.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the communications cables.

•Be sure to wire communications cable inside ducts.

•Use appropriate communications cables.

•Before touching the PCI Board, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order to discharge any static build-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or damage.

•When transporting a Board or Card, use the special box in which it was shipped to protect the LSIs and ICs from being damaged. Also do not subject the Board or Card to excessive vibration or shock.

xviii

3 Application Precautions

•Because the devices are reset in order, communications errors will temporarily occur in the master and slaves. For this reason, do not download the network configuration while the master-side PLC (CPU Unit) is operating.

•When downloading the network configuration, each of the devices is reset. If the Master Unit is reset first, it may cause errors in writing parameters to the subsequent slaves. For that reason, this method (downloading the network configuration) should be used only when the Master Unit has been given the highest address.

•Downloaded device parameters will be valid only after the devices are reset unless they are the OMRON CVM1-DRM21-V1, C200HW-DRM21-V1, CS1W-DRM21(-V1), or CJ1W-DRM21.

•When the devices are reset, communications errors will temporarily occur. For this reason, do not reset the devices while the master-side PLC (CPU Unit) is operating.

Data Links in Controller Link or SYSMAC LINK Networks

•The data link mode (manual setting or automatic setting) and data link method are determined according to the data link setting in the startup node. In the startup node, set a data link table for manual settings and data link automatic setting parameters for automatic settings. If the settings are incorrect, the data links will not start.

Check the following items before starting data links.

(1)Manually Set Data Links

Check the data link tables in each node participating in the data link to see that they are correct.

Be sure that data link tables are deleted from nodes that are not participating in the data links.

(2)Automatically Set Data Links

Be sure that the correct DM parameters have been set in the data link startup node.

•If incorrect data link tables or parameters are set, injury may result due to unexpected operation of the system. Even if the correct data link tables and parameters have been set, do not start or stop data links before verifying that there will be no adverse influence on the system.

Routing Tables

CPU Bus Units are reset when routing tables are transferred from a Programming Device to a PLC to allow set routing tables to be read. Make sure that resetting CPU Bus Units will not cause equipment damage or dangerous system behavior before transferring tables.

1-1-1 Overview

1-1 The CX-Integrator

1-1-1 Overview

The CX-Integrator is a Programming Device software package that enables reading the PLC's network and serial network configuration from a personal computer via an online connection. This enables easily performing many operations, such as monitoring the connection status of various networks, setting parameters, and diagnosing networks.

The CX-Integrator can be placed online manually or automatically with the CS/CJ-series PLC to which it is directly connected to enable uploading and monitoring the network configuration (including device parameters) for that PLC or other network PLCs for each network.

Direction connection to serial communications using the CompoWay/F protocol is also possible without going through a PLC. The CompoWay/F network configuration can be uploaded or automatic connection is possible using the NT Link protocol for NS-series PTs and CS/CJ-series PLCs.

Furthermore, parameters in slaves on the networks can be set, edited, uploaded, and downloaded.

Whenever required, network configuration information can be saved in files. The configuration information in previously saved files can be later compared to the actually current configuration.

	for which CPS files have been installed on the computer running the
	CX-Integrator.
	(If the CompoWay/F slave is a Temperature Controller, however, only
	monitoring the network configuration is possible. Parameters are edited
	using the CX-Thermo.)
NT Link	The serial communications mode of the serial port must be 1:N NT Link.
	Monitoring is possible only for NS-series PTs with model numbers ending
	in V1or later. (Monitoring is not possible for earlier NS-series PTs without
	a model number suffix or for NT-series PTs.)

1-1-4 Accessible Network

Local Network Table Requirements

A local network table must be registered in the target PLC in the following cases.

Communications		Conditions
Network	• More than one Network Communications Unit is mounted to the target
communications	PLC. (See note.)
	Note:	Network Communications Units include Ethernet Units, Controller
	Link Units, SYSMAC LINK Units, DeviceNet Units, and FL-net Units.
	Serial Communications Units and Serial Communications Boards are not
	included except in the following case: If serial ports are registered in the
	local network table to treat them as networks, the serial ports must be
	treated as Network Communications Units, including the serial ports on
	the CPU Unit.
	• Routing tables are already registered in one or more nodes on the network.
	• Communications are required between networks.
Serial	Serial ports on Serial Communications Units and Serial Communications
communications	Boards are used as serial gateways to Host Link FINS and access is
	required via networks via Host Link FINS to PLCs functioning as Host Link
	slaves.
	Note:	Serial ports do not necessarily need to be registered in the local
	network table (to treat them as networks) to enable using other serial
	gateway functions. Registration is normally not required to convert from
	serial to serial. Refer to 3-6 Overview of Serial Gateway Functions in the
	CS/CJ-series Communications Commands Reference Manual (Cat. No.
	W342) for details on whether local network tables are required to use
	serial gateway functions.

Note: As an exception, local network tables are not required even when more than one Network Communications Unit is mounted in the following situation:

Access is possible without a local network table when connecting online to the target PLC via a direct serial connection and access is required only to the network of the Network Communications Unit with the smallest unit number (set on the front panel rotary switches) of all the Network Communications Units that are mounted to the target PLC.
