safety measures must be provided in external control circuits.
• The PLC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function
detects any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS)
instruction is executed. Unexpected operation, however, may still
occur for errors in the I/O control section, errors in I/O memory,
and other errors that cannot be detected by the self-diagnosis
function. As a countermeasure for all such errors, external safety
measures must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
• The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or
burning of the output relays, or destruction of the output transistors.
As a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures
must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
• When the 24-V DC output (service power supply) is overloaded or
short-circuited, the voltage may drop and result in the outputs
being turned OFF. As a countermeasure for such problems,
external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the
system.
!WARNING The CPU Unit refreshes I/O even when the program is stopped (i.e.,
even in PROGRAM mode). Confirm safety thoroughly in advance
before changing the status of any part of memory allocated to I/O
Units, Special I/O Units, or CPU Bus Units. Any changes to the data
allocated to any Unit may result in unexpected operation of the loads
connected to the Unit. Any of the following operation may result in
changes to memory status.
• Transferring I/O memory data to the CPU Unit from a
Programming Device
• Changing present values in memory from a Programming Device.
• Force-setting/-resetting bits from a Programming Device.
• Transferring I/O memory files from a Memory Card or EM file
memory to the CPU Unit.
• Transferring I/O memory from a host computer or from another
PLC on a network.
!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
2 Safety Precautions
xxi
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, CompoNet 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, CompoNet Master/Slave
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.
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.
!Caution Confirm safety thoroughly in advance before transferring program data to
another node on the network or changing the I/O memory. Otherwise, injuries
may occur.
3 Application Precautions
xxii
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.
• Use only the specified communications cables.
• Do not extend connection distances beyond the ranges given in the
specifications.
• Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated
voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the
power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in
malfunction.
• When installing the PLC, ground to 100Ω min.
• Install external breakers and take other safety measures against
short-circuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against
short-circuiting may result in burning.
• Check all wiring and switch settings to be sure they are correct before
turning ON the power supply.
• Check the user programming (e.g., the ladder program) for proper execution
before actually running it on the PLC. Not checking the program may result
in unexpected operation.
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
3 Application Precautions
xxiii
• 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.
• 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.
3 Application Precautions
xxiv
• 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.
CompoNet
• Be sure to start operation only after transferring the necessary parameters in
the EEPROM of the CompoNet Master Unit (e.g., software settings and
registration table settings) from the CX-Integrator to the CompoNet Master
Unit.
• I/O allocations may change if the communications mode of the CompoNet
Master Unit is changed.

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.
