About Upgrades:
Version 1.1
The following functions have been added to the CX-Simulator with the upgrade from Version 1.0 to
Version 1.1.
Actual Serial Communications Possible
In Ver.1.0, the contents of messages sent by serial communications instructions are displayed on the computer screen. In Ver.1.1, actual serial communications to an external serial communications device connected to a COM
port on the computer are also possible.
NT Link (1:N Mode) Possible
In Ver.1.1, communications with OMRON’s Programmable Terminal (PT)
connected to a COM port on the computer via NT Link are possible.
Multipoint Data Collection Tool Added
Time-series I/O memory data acquired from the actual PLC can be saved as a
Data Replay File (CSV format). Unlike Data Trace, data can not be acquired
every cycle. However, data of more than 50 words can be acquired.
WindowsMe/2000 Supported
Serial Number Entry on Installing Added
Version 1.2
The following functions have been added to the CX-Simulator with the upgrade from Version 1.1 to
Version 1.2.
New PLCs Supported
Simulation is newly supported for the following PLCs.
Series CPU Unit model numbers
CS CS1H-CPU67H/66H/65H/64H/63H
CS1G-CPU45H/44H/43H/42H
CJ CJ1H-CPU66H/65H
CJ1G-CPU45H/44H/43H/42H
CJ1G-CPU45/44
Functionality Improved
The following functions have been improved so that the same operation as
that performed by the actual PLC is performed by the CX-Simulator. (There
were some differences in operation with version 1.1.)
• Processing when using index registers for automatic incrementing or
decrementing with sequence output instructions.
• Processing the current EM bank is changed during execution of the ladder
program.
• Break processing for nested FOR-NEXT loops.
• Processing for decrementing counters in certain ladder program struc-
tures.
vii
Simplified System Exit Processing
When the system is exited while the CX-Simulator is connected, a confirmation dialog box will appear and, upon confirmation, the CX-Simulator will be
disconnected and the system shut down.
Version 1.3
The following functions have been added to the CX-Simulator with the upgrade from Version 1.2 to
Version 1.3.
New PLCs Supported
Simulation is newly supported for the following PLCs.
Series CPU Unit model numbers
CJ CJ1M-CPU23/22/13/12
New Units in the CS and CJ Series are also supported for PLC Unit registration.
Starting and Connecting the CX-Simulator from the CX-Programmer
With CX-Programmer version 3.0 or higher, the CX-Simulator can be started
and connected (placed online) from the CX-Programmer. After going online,
program transfer to the CX-Simulator can be started immediately.
Windows XP Supported
Version 1.4
The following functions have been added to the CX-Simulator with the upgrade from Version 1.3 to
Version 1.4.
New PLCs Supported
Simulation is newly supported for the following PLCs.
Series CPU Unit model numbers
CS CS1D-CPU67H/65H
CS1D-CPU67S/65S/44S/42S
CJ CJ1M-CPU23/22/21/13/12/11
New Units in the CS and CJ Series are also supported for PLC Unit registration.
Version 1.5
The changes that have been made from version 1.4 to version 1.5 of the CX-Simulator to enable support of new
CPU Unit models are explained here.
New PLCs Supported
CX-Simulator version 1.5 supports the following new CPU Units.
Series CPU Unit model
CS CJ1H-CPU67H
CPU Unit Version Upgrade Compatibility
CX-Simulator version 1.5 supports the following CS/CJ-series CPU Units with
unit version 3.0.
Series Device type
CS/CJ CS1G-H, CS1H-H, CJ1G-H, CJ1H-H, CJ1M
viii
Function Block (Ladder Programming Language) Simulation
CX-Simulator version 1.5 can be used to simulate function blocks that are supported for CS/CJ-series
CPU Units with unit version 3.0 (function block algorithms can be written in the ladder programming
language or in the structured text (ST)). Step execution of instructions contained in ladder programming
language or structured text within a function block, however, is not supported.
Precautions
CX-Simulator version 1.5 can simulate the operations of a CS/CJ-series CPU Unit with version 3.0 on a
personal computer. The simulation, however, operates differently from the actual CS/CJ-series CPU
Unit with unit version 3.0 in the system.
• Processing when using index registers for automatic incrementing or decrementing with sequence output instructions. No-protocol communications instructions sent to the serial port of
the Serial Communications Unit will not be executed.
CX-Simulator version 1.5 does not support no-protocol instructions (TXDU(256) and
RXDU(255)) sent to the serial port of the Serial Communications Unit and will not execute these
instructions.
• The Comms Instructions Settings in FB field in PLC Settings is disabled.
The Comms Instructions Settings in FB field (CPU Settings Tab) is a PLC setting specific to the
OMRON FB library. Therefore, this setting is disabled when using CX-Simulator version 1.5.
• Free Running Timers in Auxiliary Area words A000 and A001 are disabled.
The Auxiliary Area word 10-ms Incrementing Free Running Timer (A000) and 100-ms Incrementing Free Running Timer (A001) that are supported for CS/CJ-series CPU Units with version 3.0 or later cannot be used in simulation operations.
Version 1.6
The changes that have been made from version 1.5 to version 1.6 of the CX-Simulator to enable
support of new functions are explained here.
New PLCs Supported
CX-Simulator version 1.6 supports the following new CPU Units.
Series CPU Unit model
CP CP1H-XA/X

CX-Programmer Simulation Functions
If CX-Programmer version 6.1 or higher and CX-Simulator version 1.6 or
higher are installed, the following CX-Programmer simulation functions can be
used.
• Applicability: Ladder programs or programs in function blocks (ladder programs or ST)
• Simulation functions: Step execution, continuous step execution, scan
execution, and break-point operation (Note: I/O conditions cannot be set.)
Refer to the CX-Programmer Operation Manual (W446) for details.
Version 1.7
The changes that have been made from version 1.6 to version 1.7 of the CX-Simulator to enable
support of new functions are explained here.

Integrated Simulation with Screen Operations for Virtual PT
(Programmable Terminal)
The PLC-PT Integrated Simulation icon can be used to perform integrated
simulations using CX-Designer version 2.0 or higher and CX-Simulator version 1.7 or higher. This enables debugging by linking user program execution
on a virtual PLC with the CX-Programmer/CX-Simulator with screen operations for a virtual PT using the CX-Designer’s Test Tool.
• Starting the CX-Simulator:
The CX-Simulator is started by selecting the PLC-PT Integrated Simulation
menu item from CX-Designer version 2.0 or higher. (The user program is
automatically transferred to the CX-Simulator when it starts.)
• Connecting the CX-Simulator to virtual PT screens:
Automatically executed.
Refer to the operation manual for CX-Designer version 2.0 or higher for details.
Version 1.8

Troubleshooting Problems with Unit Versions on the CX-Programmer
Problem Cause Solution
After the above message is displayed, a compiling
error will be displayed on the Compile Tab Page in
the Output Window.
An attempt was made to
download a program containing
instructions supported only by
later unit versions or a CPU Unit
to a previous unit version.
Check the program or change
to a CPU Unit with a later unit
version.
An attempt was to download a
PLC Setup containing settings
supported only by later unit versions or a CPU Unit to a previous
unit version.
Check the settings in the PLC
Setup or change to a CPU
Unit with a later unit version.
"????" is displayed in a program transferred from the
PLC to the CX-Programmer.
An attempt was made to upload a
program containing instructions
supported only by higher versions of CX-Programmer to a
lower version.
New instructions cannot be
uploaded to lower versions of
CX-Programmer. Use a higher
version of CX-Programmer.
