Section 1-1 |
1-1 Introduction
1-1-1 What Is CX-Position?
The CX-Position is a software package that enables the setting, transfer, storage, and printing of data used with Position Control Units (also referred to as NC Units), as well as monitoring of Position Control Unit operating status.
The CX-Position runs on a Windows 2000, XP, or Vista operating system.
Position
Control Unit
Computer with Windows operating system
Data (e.g., parameter data, position data) used with the Position Control Unit is set and transferred.
The Position Control Unit’s operating status (e.g., present position, I/O status, and error display) is monitored.
1-1-2 Applicable Position Control Units
CX-Position can be used with the following Position Control Units.
Position Control Unit model number |
PLC series |
|
|
CS1W-NC113/133/213/233/413/433 |
CS Series |
|
|
CJ1W-NC113/133/213/233/413/433 |
CJ-series PLCs, CP-series PLCs, |
|
NSJ-series NSJ Controllers, and |
|
FQM1 Flexible Motion Controllers |
|
(See note.) |
Note The CX-Position supports only FQM1 Flexible Motion Controllers with unit version 3.2 or later.
For details on the system configuration, refer to 1-2 System Configuration.

Introduction |
Section 1-1 |
1-1-3 Features
Data Management and
Editing in Project Units
Individual Copying and
Moving of Position
Control Unit Data
Communications with Position Control Units via Networks
The CX-Position enables data for several Position Control Units (96 Position Control Units max. per PLC) on several PLCs (1,000 max.) to be handled as 1 project. Data is displayed in tree format with parameter data, sequence data, speed data, acceleration/deceleration data, dwell times, and zone data displayed under the corresponding Position Control Unit, Position Control Units displayed under the corresponding PLC, and PLCs displayed under the corresponding project.
Position Control Unit data, such as parameters, sequences, and speeds, can be moved or copied (overwritten) between PLCs in the project tree. This feature enables editing and re-use of the same or similar data with other PLCs or Position Control Units.
The CX-Position communicates with Position Control Units using CX-Server. Depending on the type of CX-Server driver used, online operations (e.g., monitoring and transfer/verification of parameter and sequence data) are possible via Host Link (SYSMAC WAY) or Toolbus.
Automatic Project
Generation
Importing SYSMAC-NCT
Data
The CX-Position can read information about the Position Control Units mounted on a PLC connected online, and automatically create a project based on this information. (CX-Position can also upload actual data from Position Control Units and use it in the project.) This feature eliminates the necessity of creating a new project offline before going online.
Data created for the C200HW-NC@@@ using the SYSMAC-NCT (with .ncm file extension) can be imported and used as data for the CS1W-NC@@@ or CJ1W-NC@@@.
The CX-One FA integrated Tool Package, which includes the CX-Position, will provide the total solution for a wide range of system development.
The CX-Position can now be started from the I/O Table Window of the CXProgrammer with the communications settings inherited from the CX-Pro- grammer.
Starting the CX-Position with the communications settings inherited will automatically register the communications settings between the PLC and personal computer, Position Control Unit models, unit numbers, and other settings in the CX-Position project file.
Data such as parameters, however, will be initialized.
The CX-Position project files are saved in the same data folder as the CX-Pro- grammer project files, which makes data management easier.

2-2 Connecting to a PLC
To transfer the product data created with the CX-Position to a Position Control Unit, the computer must be connected to the CPU Unit of the PLC with a cable and the CX-Position must be placed online with the Position Control Unit.
2-2-1 Connecting to CS/CJ-series PLCs

Connecting to a PLC |
Section 2-2 |
Connection Method The personal computer is connected to the peripheral port or the built-in RS232C port on the CPU Unit. Two network types, SYSMAC WAY (Host Link) and Toolbus, are available.
Note With CS/CJ-series PLCs, a personal computer can be connected to ports on Serial Communications Units/Boards. In this case, SYSMAC WAY (Host Link) is the only supported network type.

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.
