1 Intended Audience
1 Intended Audience
This manual is intended for the following personnel, who must also have
knowledge of electrical systems (an electrical engineer or the equivalent).
•Personnel in charge of installing FA systems
•Personnel in charge of designing FA systems
•Personnel in charge of managing FA systems and facilities
2 Safety Precautions
!Caution When performing any of the following operations, always check the network
address and node address of the other node (PLC) and the node address
and unit number of the mounted Unit (PLC CPU Bus Unit or Special I/O Unit)
or the node address of the Component (DeviceNet Master/Slave or
CompoWay/F Slave), and be sure that these operations can be performed
safely for the current status of the node (Unit or Component):
•Transferring parameter or program data to the other node
•Changing the operating mode of the other node
Unexpected operation may result if parameter or program data is transferred
to the wrong node (DeviceNet Master/Slave or CompoWay/F Slave), the
operating mode of the wrong node is changed, or the other node is not in a
suitable status to receive the program or parameter data or the operating
mode change.
!Caution When changing the target PLC to any PLC other than the relay PLC, check
the node address and node number of the target PLC carefully before
executing the change. Unexpected operation and injury may result if the
wrong PLC is set as the target PLC.
•Changing the operating mode
•Transferring or verifying user-set data link tables
•Transferring or verifying routing tables
•Performing I/O table operations (including transferring CPU Bus Unit or
Special I/O Unit parameters)
Note Operations performed from the CX-Integrator are performed for the target
PLC, which is not necessarily the same as the relay PLC.
!Caution When transferring parameters that have been created or edited on the
computer to actual Units (PLC CPU Bus Units or PLC Special I/O Units) or to
actual Components (DeviceNet Masters/Slaves or CompoWay/F Slaves),
always check the identifying number of the actual Units or Components (i.e.,
the unit numbers and unit addresses or node addresses) before executing
the transfer. Unexpected operation and injury may result if parameters are
transferred to the wrong Unit or Component.
!Caution When changing or removing a routing table (see note), be sure to update the
display for the Online Connection Information Window. The display for the
Online Connection Information Window could possibly be different from the
actual network status. If operations are executed without first updating the
display, particularly online operations in the Network Configuration Window, it
could cause data to be mistakenly read or written for the wrong network or
node address or unit number.
xvi

2 Safety Precautions
Note: Changing or removing a routing table refers to using the
CX-Integrator (or a CX-Integrator for another personal computer) to
start the Routing Table Component and then changing or removing
a routing table for the target PLC (either a local network table or a
relay network table).
!Caution Do not execute a broadcast node search if a node exists for something other
than an OMRON Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway within the same segment on
Ethernet, and when the Ethernet network system is in operation. When a
broadcast node search is executed, an OMRON FINS command is sent to all
nodes in the segment. Therefore, if a node exists for something other than an
OMRON Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway, the FINS command will not be
received at that node and unexpected operation may occur.
xvii

3 Application Precautions
3 Application Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the CX-Integrator.
General Communications Precautions
•Do not turn OFF the power to the PLC or disconnect the cable connecting
the PLC when the CX-Integrator is online with the PLC. Doing so may cause
the computer running CX-Integrator to malfunction.
•Before changing the operating mode, always confirm that doing so will not
adversely affect system operation.
•Always check the operation of parameters sufficiently before using them for
actual system operation.
•Confirm that resetting CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units will not
adversely affect system operation before resetting these Units.
DeviceNet
•Enable the scan list to before operating the system.
•When adding a new node to the network, make sure that the baud rate is
the same as other nodes.
•Use specified communications cables.
•Do not extend connection distances beyond the ranges given in the
specifications.
•Always turn OFF the power supply to the personal computer, Slaves, and
Communications Units before attempting any of the following.
•Attaching or detaching the DeviceNet Board or Card
•Assembling the Units
•Setting rotary switches
•Connecting or wiring the cables
•Connecting or disconnecting connectors
•Be sure that the communications cables and other items with locking
devices are properly locked into place.
•Observe the following precautions when wiring the communications cable.
•Separate the communications cables from the power lines or
high-tension lines.
•Do not bend the communications cables.
•Do not pull on the communications cables.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of the communications cables.
•Be sure to wire communications cable inside ducts.
•Use appropriate communications cables.
•Before touching the PCI Board, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic
object in order to discharge any static build-up. Not doing so may result in
malfunction or damage.
•When transporting a Board or Card, use the special box in which it was
shipped to protect the LSIs and ICs from being damaged. Also do not
subject the Board or Card to excessive vibration or shock.
xviii

3 Application Precautions
•Because the devices are reset in order, communications errors will
temporarily occur in the master and slaves. For this reason, do not
download the network configuration while the master-side PLC (CPU Unit)
is operating.
•When downloading the network configuration, each of the devices is reset.
If the Master Unit is reset first, it may cause errors in writing parameters to
the subsequent slaves. For that reason, this method (downloading the
network configuration) should be used only when the Master Unit has been
given the highest address.
•Downloaded device parameters will be valid only after the devices are reset
unless they are the OMRON CVM1-DRM21-V1, C200HW-DRM21-V1,
CS1W-DRM21(-V1), or CJ1W-DRM21.
•When the devices are reset, communications errors will temporarily occur.
For this reason, do not reset the devices while the master-side PLC (CPU
Unit) is operating.
Data Links in Controller Link or SYSMAC LINK Networks
•The data link mode (manual setting or automatic setting) and data link
method are determined according to the data link setting in the startup node.
In the startup node, set a data link table for manual settings and data link
automatic setting parameters for automatic settings. If the settings are
incorrect, the data links will not start.
Check the following items before starting data links.
(1) Manually Set Data Links
Check the data link tables in each node participating in the data link to
see that they are correct.
Be sure that data link tables are deleted from nodes that are not
participating in the data links.
(2) Automatically Set Data Links
Be sure that the correct DM parameters have been set in the data link
startup node.
•If incorrect data link tables or parameters are set, injury may result due to
unexpected operation of the system. Even if the correct data link tables and
parameters have been set, do not start or stop data links before verifying
that there will be no adverse influence on the system.
Routing Tables
CPU Bus Units are reset when routing tables are transferred from a
Programming Device to a PLC to allow set routing tables to be read. Make
sure that resetting CPU Bus Units will not cause equipment damage or
dangerous system behavior before transferring tables.
