Lot No. 040401 0000 Ver.1.0

OMRON Corporation MADE IN JAPAN

The unit version of Position Control Units starts with unit version 1.0 for the CJ1W-NCF71 and unit version 1.3 for the CS1W-NCF71.

CX-Programmer version 4.0 or higher can be used to confirm the unit version using the Unit Manufacturing Information.

Manufacturing information.

2. The following Unit Manufacturing information Dialog Box will be displayed. Use the following display to confirm the unit version of the Position Control Unit connected online.

Unit version

The unit version is displayed as 1.0 in the Unit Version Number field of the above example.

Using Unit Version Label A unit version label is provided with the Position Control Unit. This label can

be attached to the front of the Position Control Unit to differentiate between Position Control Units with different unit versions.

Note The function to re-establishing connections added in the unit version 2.0 is not

supported by the CX-Motion-NCF. The Position Control Unit communicates with all of axes registered in a scan list when the CX-Motion-NCF starts communications between a Position Control Unit and a Servo Drive. The connected axis designation will be invalid.

This manual provides information for programming and operating the Unit. Be sure to read this manual before attempting to use the Unit and keep this manual close at hand for reference during operation.

!WARNING It is extremely important that the CX-Motion-NCF and related devices be used

for the specified purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON representative before applying Position Control Units and related devices to the above-mentioned applications.

3 Safety Precautions

!WARNING Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing

so may result in electric shock.

!WARNING Never touch any of the terminals while power is being supplied. Doing so may

result in serious electric shock.

!Caution Always back up parameters to the flash memory after it has been transferred

to the Position Control Unit. If transferred data is not backed up in flash memory, the previous settings may be used the next time the power is turned ON, resulting in a malfunction.

!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring parameters to

another node. Doing either of these without confirming safety may result in injury.

!Caution Check that the axis number is correct before operating an axis from the CX-

Motion-NCF.

What is CX-MotionNCF?

Applicable Position Control Units

The CX-Motion-NCF is a software package that helps to set, transfer, save, and print various data used for the CS1W-NC271/471/F71/CJ1W-NC271/471/ F71 Position Control Units (also referred to as NC Units) and to monitor the operation status of the Position Control Unit.

The CX-Motion-NCF runs on Windows 2000, XP or Vista.

Features

Data Management and Editing in Project Units

Communications with Position Control Units via Networks

The CX-Motion-NCF manages data for several Position Control Units as one project. Position Control Units are displayed under a PLC and several Servo Drives (CS1W-NCF71/CJ1W-NCF71: 16 axes max., CS1W-NC471/CJ1WNC471: 16 axes max., CS1W-NC271/CJ1W-NC271: 16 axes max.) are displayed under a Position Control Unit, both in tree format.

The CX-Motion-NCF communicates with Position Control Units using CXServer.

Host Link (SYSMAC WAY) or peripheral bus (Toolbus) can be used to perform online operations (transferring, comparing, and monitoring parameter data) with the Position Control Unit on the PLC.

Editing Servo Parameters Parameters of Servo Drives connected to a Position Control Unit can be

edited using the CX-Motion-NCF.

Displaying Error Information

Applicable Computers

Information on the error that is currently occurring on a Position Control Unit or the error log can be displayed.

Refer to the CX-One Ver. 3.0 Setup Manual (Cat. No. W463) for the computer system requirements for the CX-Motion-NCF.

Connecting to PLC Section 2-2

Note Two network types (serial communications mode), SYSMAC WAY and Tool-

bus, are supported when connecting CX-Motion-NCF to the PLC. The characteristics of the network types are as shown below.

Network type Characteristics

Toolbus Faster communications. If possible, use this network type.

• For CS/CJ Series, the baud rate on the peripherals can be detected automatically, and be connected.

• Only 1 on 1 connection possible.

• For CX-Motion-NCF, it can also be connected to a modem.

SYSMAC WAY (Host Link)

Used for communications with general host computers.

• Slower than Toolbus.

• Not only 1 on 1 connection, but also 1-many connection possible.

• Connecting to a modem and optical adaptor possible.

Connection Method Use one of the following method to connect the personal computer (CX-

Motion-NCF) and PLC (CPU Unit). It is also possible to connect the personal computer to the port on the CS/CJ-series Serial Communications Unit. In that case, the only network type that can be used is Host Link.

Note When connecting the connectors of the above cables to the PLC's RS-232C

port, discharge any static build-up (e.g., by touching a grounded metal object) before touching the connectors. Although XW2Z-@@@S-CV Cables use the anti-static XM2S-0911-E Connector Hood (thus reducing the possibility of static build-up), be sure to discharge any static as a safety precaution.
