Integrated simulation achieves
online checking of ladder
programming and touch panel
controls. Function blocks can be
created from user ladder
programming and IEC 61131-3
structured text (ST) language can be
used in function blocks.
The new CX-Designer HMI Design
Software joins greatly reducing PLC
programming and debugging work
through features such as function
block nesting and instance
monitoring.
The CX-One was introduced
under the concept of OMRON's
Smart Platform device control
system, which enables easy
access to any device from
anywhere.
A new system released by OMRON in July 2004 for
integrated management of data for control devices and
controllers used in production equipment.
Incorporate Smart Active Parts into your
touch panel screens to reduce work for
both designing and debugging screens
while improving quality
through standardization.
The Function Block Library is a library of
functional programming objects for
OMRON's CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Incorporating function blocks into your
PLC programming reduces work for
developing programming while improving
quality through standardization.
A Component Profile Sheet (CPS) holds ID
data, parameter definitions, and Support
Software data, including model numbers
and unit versions of PLCs and
components. Using the definition data
held in the CPS reduces device setup work
with Support Software. Also, introducing
Component Profile Sheets enables
keeping Support Software up to date.
Objects can be obtained from the CD-ROM supplied with the components
or downloaded as desired from libraries on the Web. The objects can
then be saved in individual custom libraries.

Integrated simulation can now be
started from the CX-Programmer!
4 5
Integrated simulation can be started
from either the CX-Programmer or the
CX-Designer. This enables more easily
performing integrated simulation and
debugging.
Now, system errors can be easily
checked using only a computer!
Operation of monitoring
programming when errors occur can
be verified on a computer.
Saving operations in CSV files when
errors occur simplifies making test
reports.
Now, variable data can be easily
copied from the CX-Designer to
the CX-Programmer.
Variable data can be easily shared.
No work is required to manage data
allocations.
Comments can also be copied.
Integrated Simulation for Greater Design and Deb ugging Efficienc
Even Easier Integrated Simulations!
Greatly Improved Design Efficiency!
The CX-One is even easier to use through the addition of functions from CX-One version 2.0,
such as starting simulation from the CX-Programmer and customizing test screens.
A New PLC Error Simulator Enables Easily Checking
Operation of Debugged Programs When System Errors Occur!
The coverage of integrated simulation has been further expanded by enabling generation of PLC system errors on the computer, thus
eliminating the need to use actual equipment. This allows the user, for example, to easily debug programming that handles system errors.
Variable data can be easily shared between
the CX-Programmer and CX-Designer!
The ability to easily copy and paste CX-Designer variable data to the CX-Programmer further improves the efficiency of integrated simulation.
For example, variables that have been changed due to revisions in touch panel screens can be easily updated in the CX-Programmer.

Integrated simulation could be started
only from the CX-Designer, even though
starting from the CX-Programmer
would sometimes be more convenient.
There was also the need to customize
screen positioning and other factors in
the debugging environment, and to
keep the PT screens displayed in front.
Previously, error-handling programming
was verified by generating errors using
error-generation commands in a
program running on the PLC.
Preparation and execution required too
much time.
Previously, it was possible to copy and
paste from the CX-Programmer to the
CX-Designer, but not in the opposite
direction. It was a lot of trouble to bring
variable data created in the CX-Designer
to the CX-Programmer.

Sequential function charts (SFC) is a language used to express the flow of process steps as graphical charts that combine steps and transitions. SFC complies with the IEC 61131-3 standard.
Structured text (ST) is a high-level language for industrial control that allows programming numerical processing and repetition processing more simply than ladder diagrams. ST complies with the IEC 61131-1 standard.
Support for sequential function charts and structured text provides for a variety of
rogramming language environments
Supported

Support is provided with CS/CJ-series PLCs with unit

The flow of process step programming
is difficult to understand with ladder
programming. Plus, interlocks and
jumps are required.
Until now, it has not been possible to
see the results of detailed comparison
of ladder programming in function
block (FB) definitions. This made it
difficult to manage changes in function
blocks.
Using ladder programming to write
numerical processing is complicated. The
number of inputs increases and it takes a
lot of time to write averages or values for
hundreds of measurement values.
Using SFC enables understanding
the line structure and the process
flow at a glance!
Programming can be made that follows
the process flow.
The processes that are being executed
can be understood at a glance, which
simplifies monitoring process status.
Programming each process separately
helps to achieve structured programs
and makes programming easier to reuse.
Detailed comparison of function
block definitions can be
rammer version 7.2.
Ladder programming, ST, and
changes in variables in FB definitions
can be checked in detail.
Temporarily backing up C500/C120/C P-series programs
to a computer, such as is required when replacing Units,
was possible only when the PLC was online with the
computer. Working online was not possible when
converted to other models.
With C500/C120/C P-series PLCs, only the programs
could be backed up, but not data from the DM or HR
Areas.
Files backed up on a computer from C500/C120/C P-series
PLCs can be converted to projects for the CP1L/M, CJ1, CS1,
or CVM1. Of course, work can be performed online.
With C500/C120/C P-series PLCs, only the programs could
be backed up, but the backup function has been expanded to
now include programs, DM Area data, and HR Area data.
CX-One version 2.1 can be used to change models to the
CP1L, which is ideal for updating small machinery and
equipment.
Using ST, writing a program to
average hundreds of points
requires only a few lines!
The ability to write repetition processing
and judgment processing in only a few
lines greatly shortens the time required
for programming.
Text string data is can be used. Measured
thickness data or other text string data
can be easily analyzed.

Transfer to computer from a DeviceNet network can

The maximum number of Controller Link data link send
words per node has been increased from 1,000 to 4,000!
Easier Adjustment for Temperature and
Process Control!
If communications fail when uploading DeviceNet network data (slave
data) using the CX-Integrator, uploading can be resumed from the point
where failure occurred, thereby greatly shortening the time for
transferring network data to the computer.
Support is provided for Controller Link Units (soon to be released), which
have increased the maximum number of send/receive words per Unit
fourfold from the previous 1,000 words to 4,000 words when data links
are used (see note). This can be used to increase the amount of data
shared between PLCs, such as for exchanging data on quality.

Setting and transferring routing tables
required a lot of time onsite to

Routing tables can be set and
transferred from a PLC in just one
location!
Work is greatly simplified by the ability
to set and transfer routing tables from
one location to all the PLCs on a
network of the same layer.
The computer port (e.g., COM2 or COM3)
had to be specified using a separate menu
command for selecting the connection port
when an automatic online connection was
performed with the PLC connected to the
computer's USB port (except for COM1).
No communications port settings are
required! Only the connectable
communications ports are displayed,
so online connection is easy.
Online connection can be easily made with
two clicks of the mouse. There's no need to
worry whether online connection at the
worksite will be possible when an error occurs.
Routing tables can be transferred

Ethernet network.
Routing tables can be transferred from
the computer to a PLC using an
