2 General Precautions
The user must operate the product according to the performance specifica-
tions described in the operation manuals.
Before using the product under conditions which are not described in the
manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems,
aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical equipment, amuse-
ment machines, safety equipment, and other systems, machines, and equip-
ment that may have a serious influence on lives and property if used
improperly, consult your OMRON representative.
Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product are
sufficient for the systems, machines, and equipment, and be sure to provide
the systems, machines, and equipment with double safety mechanisms.
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 man-
ual close at hand for reference during operation.
!WARNING It is extremely important that the CX-Drive and related devices be used for the
specified purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applica-
tions that can directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with
your OMRON representative before applying CX-Drive and related devices to
the above-mentioned applications.
3 Safety Precautions
!Caution It may become impossible to stop motor rotation if serial communications fail
during test runs. Always provide an external hardware means of stopping the
motor.
!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring parameters or other
data to another node from the CX-Drive. Doing either of these without con-
firming safety may result in injury.
!Caution Always confirm the axis number carefully before starting operation from the
CX-Drive.
!Caution The CS1W-CIF31 Serial Conversion Cable cannot be used to connect a com-
puter running the CX-Drive to the 3G3MV. (See the following note.).
Note USB-Serial Conversion Cables That Can Be Used
For 3G3JV- and 3G3RV-series Inverters: CS1W-CIF31 USB-Serial Conver-
sion Cable.
(The commercially available products listed below can also be used.)

xvii
Application Precautions 4
For 3G3MV-series Inverters: The CS1W-CIF31 cannot be used. Use the com-
mercially available products listed below.
Commercially Available USB-Serial Conversion Cables
BHS-US01/GP manufactured by Buffalo
USB-CVRS9 manufactured by Sanwa
The commercially available USB-serial converters have been successfully
tested for OMRON Inverters but operation may be unstable in some operating
environments (mainly depending on the ambient temperature, humidity, and
noise). The functions, performance, and reliability of these converters may not
be as specified under all possible conditions. Check the warranty information
from the manufacturer.
4 Application Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the CX-Drive.
• Confirm that set parameters operate properly before using them in actual
applications.
• Do not turn OFF the power to the Servo Drive while writing to flash mem-
ory. In the worst case, doing so may damage the flash memory.
• After replacing an Inverter or Servo Drive, restart operation only after sav-
ing the required parameters in the new Inverter or Servo Drive.
• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting
any of the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• Changing the operating mode of the PLC (including changing the Star-
tup Mode)
• Changing parameter settings
• Automatically downloading parameters (This function is enable by se-
lecting the Autodownload when a parameter is updated Option on the
Online Options Tab Page in the window that appears when Tools - Op-
tions is selected from the menu bar.)
• Do not turn OFF the power to the computer while installing or uninstalling
the CX-Drive. Doing so may result in corrupted data in the computer.
• The multi-turn counter and alarms will be set in the absolute serial
encoder if the absolute encoder setting function is performed. If the abso-
lute encoder’s multi-turn counter is reset to zero, the coordinate system of
the mechanical system will change from what it was previously. Be sure
that the encoder is set correctly before resetting the mechanical system to
the zero point.

Introduction Section 1-1
1-1 Introduction
1-1-1 What Is the CX-Drive?
The CX-Drive is a software application that enables 1) setting, downloading,
uploading, and comparing parameters, 2) test runs and tuning, and 3) moni-
toring and data tracing for Inverters and Servos.
1-1-2 Features
Supports Most
OMRON Inverters and
Servos
The CX-Drive can be used with OMRON's 3G3JV, 3G3MV, and 3G3RV Invert-
ers, as well as OMRON's SMARTSTEP, W-series, and MECHATROLINK-II-
compliant (see note) W-series Servo Drives.
Wide Range of
Parameter Editing
Functions
Easy and Dependable
Parameter Editing for
Inverters and Servos
Inverter and Servo parameters can be edited using parameter numbers or by
category. Parameter editing tables show parameter ID numbers, descriptions,
units, default values, and ranges in the same way as in the Servo manuals.
Parameters can be set using pull-down menus or by typing in settings.
Parameter settings can be easily reviewed because setting status (e.g., modi-
fied, warning, default, or disabled) is shown for each parameter to avoid set-
ting mistakes.
Easily Check Drive
Parameters and Upload/
Download Only Selected
Parameters
When connected online, you can easily display drive parameters by using a
comparison function. Also, the selected parameters can be downloaded to or
uploaded from the drive as required.
Edit Parameters in
Graphic Form
Inverter parameters, such as V/F profiles and jump frequencies, can be dis-
played in graphic charts.
Display Parameters in
Diagrams
Drive parameters can be displayed in diagrams, such as PID diagrams or
position/speed/torque block diagrams.
Automatically Detect
Drives
The connected drives can be detected automatically and displayed in a list
without setting model numbers or connection types. Just select a drive to add
it to the Workspace.

Introduction Section 1-1
Inverter Tuning and
Test Runs
Auto-tuning for the 3G3RV Just enter the specified motor parameters and let the Servo automatically
tune itself to match the characteristics of the motor.
Inverter Test Runs The test run options enable the acceleration, deceleration, and frequency ref-
erences of the motor to be determined for testing purposes. Additional options
allow the motor to be run continuously or cycled for 'n' number of cycles. For-
ward or reverse operation and stopping are also possible, and the feedback
input can be displayed.
The parameters can be set either by entering them directly into the appropri-
ate fields or graphically by dragging handles in the Test Run Setup Diagram.
Servo Tuning and
Test Runs
Auto-tuning The auto-tuning function calculates the load moment of inertia during opera-
tion of the Servo and sets parameters to achieve Servo gains that are consis-
tent with the machine rigidity settings. These parameters can be saved in the
Servo and used the next time power is turned ON.
Servo Test Runs The test run options enable the jog speed, acceleration, and deceleration of
the motor to be determined for testing purposes. Continuous operation, cyclic
operation, origin searches, turning the Servo ON/OFF, forward/reverse direc-
tion selection, stopping, and speed display are also possible.
The parameters can be set either by entering them directly into the appropri-
ate fields or graphically by dragging handles in the Test Run Setup Diagram.
Adjust Offsets for the
R7D-AP and R88D-WT
The speed/torque offset can be adjusted automatically or manually, the offset
and gain of the analog monitor output can be adjusted, and the current detec-
tion offset can be adjusted automatically or manually.
Absolute Encoder Setting
for the R88D-WT
An absolute encoder and multi-turn limit can be set for the R88D-WT.
Realtime Tracing The Real Time Monitor Window enables monitoring a specific set of parame-
ters. The parameter values are displayed simultaneously in graphic and digital
forms.
The graphic display shows the parameter values per unit time.
Note Online functions are supported for only one axis at a time.
