About this Manual:

This manual describes the specifications and operation of the CX-Position software and includes the
sections described below. The CX-Position runs on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista operating systems and
is used to create data for and monitor the operation of the CS1W-NC@@@ and CJ1W-NC@@@ Posi­tion Control Units (also referred to as NC Units).

Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before
attempting to install and operate CX-Position. Please read the following manuals carefully and be sure
you understand the information provided before using a Position Control Unit.

3 Safety Precautions

!WARNING Never attempt to disassemble any Units while power is being supplied. Doing

so may result in serious electric shock.

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

result in serious electric shock.

!Caution Save parameters and other data to flash memory after transferring them to

the Position Control Unit. If parameters and other data are not saved to flash
memory, data will return to their previous values the next time power is turned
ON, possibly resulting in Unit malfunction.

!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring parameters or other

data to the node. Transferring parameters or other data without confirming
safety may result in injury.

xviii

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

Position.

Application Precautions 4

!Caution Do not save data to flash memory during memory operation or while the

motor is running. Doing so may result in unexpected operation.

4 Application Precautions

!Caution Observe the following precautions when using CX-Position.

• Confirm the unit number before transferring parameters and other data to
a Position Control Unit.

• Confirm that set parameters and data operate properly before using in
actual operation.

• When the settings of the following parameters have been changed, they
must be transferred to the Position Control Unit and written to flash mem­ory, and then the Position Control Unit must be turned OFF and back ON,
or restarted as a Special I/O Unit, to enable using the new settings.

• Output pulse selection

• Output pulse direction

• Limit input signal type

• Origin proximity input signal type

• Origin input signal type

• Emergency stop input function

• No-origin specification

• Operating mode selection

• Origin search operation

• Origin detection method

• Origin search direction

• Position-preset origin search

• Do not turn OFF the power to a Position Control Unit while writing to flash
memory. Doing so may damage flash memory.

• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting
any of the following. Not doing so may result in unexpected operation.

• Changing the operating mode of the PLC (including the operating
mode at startup).

• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.

• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.

• Do not turn OFF the power to the computer while installing or uninstalling
CX-Position. Doing so may corrupt computer data.

Introduction 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.

Computer with
Windows
operating system

Data (e.g., parameter

Position
Control Unit

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,

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.

NSJ-series NSJ Controllers, and
FQM1 Flexible Motion Controllers

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-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 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-Position can now be started from the I/O Table Window of the CX­Programmer with the communications settings inherited from the CX-Pro­grammer.

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.

Introduction Section 1-1

1-1-4 Applicable Computers

Refer to the CX-One Ver. 3.0 Setup Manual (W463) for the computer system
requirements for the CX-Position.

1-1-5 CX-Position Data

The CX-Position is used to make project files with the configuration shown
below. The file extension for project files is .nci.

Project file (“.nci”)

1,000 PLCs max.

One “PLC” contains the data for 1 PLC
(CPU Unit). One project file can contain
up to 1,000 PLCs. One “NC” contains all
the data for 1 Position Control Unit.

96 Units max. (See note.)

Note The number of Position Control

Units is restricted by the number
of allocated unit numbers and
the current consumption.

1-1-6 Software Structure

The CX-Position exchanges data (online communications) with Position Con­trol Units via CX-Server. In order to execute functions online, CX-Server must
be installed on the same computer as CX-Position.

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.
