3. Comparison of Functions Between Conventional Support Software and CX-One

CX-One is an FA Integrated Tool Package that integrates Support Software for OMRON's PLC and other
Components.
To construct an FA System based mainly on PLC, traditionally it was necessary to purchase and install
individual Support Software compatible with each Unit, start the software individually, and then connect
to PLC and individual Components.
Installation of this FA Integrated Tool Package "CX-One" on a personal computer allows integrated
operation from setup of OMRON's CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units (SIOU) and Components to
network start-up/monitoring and improving efficiency of PLC System start-up.

2. Features of CX-One
zCX-One allows integrated management of Support Software for OMRON's PLC/Components.
•Installation on only one personal computer allows a user to handle Support Software for OMRON's
products.
•Only one licensing key is required to install all Support Software.
•It allows integrated management of one save location for files created by Support Software.
zSupport Software dedicated to CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units can be started on the I/O Table.
•The appropriate dedicated Support Software can be automatically started by specifying a
registered Unit in the I/O Table (Unit configuration table attached to a PLC). In addition, setup
information such as PLC model can be passed to the dedicated Support Software at start-up,
allowing easier switching between Support Software.
zThe following functions are available by the introduction of the ID information file (CPS) for OMRON
Components.
•Setup of CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units without manual setting and address recognition.
(Parameter and selection item names as well as available range of setup are automatically
displayed)
•CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units setting on personal computer and data on actual PLC (CPU
Unit ) can be verified online, and unmatched item/readout data is displayed graphically.
•Unit configuration is displayed on the I/O Table based on Unit model.
•Device type on the network can be checked for its Unit model, allowing exact verification of
network configuration.
What is CPS?
CPS (Component and network Profile Sheet) is definition information of CS/CJ series Unit/Components in CX-One.
It is provided as a CPS file (XML format file).
CX-One recognizes CS/CJ series Unit by information in this CPS file. CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units setting
is created based on this CPS file.

Before installing the CX-One, you must:
•terminate all Windows programs
•Uninstall previous versions of Support Software (such as CX-Programmer) if already
installed.
•Installation takes about 10 to 40 minutes depending on your personal computer. (10
minutes for a personal computer with CPU: Celeron 2.2GHz, main memory: 512MB, and
CD-ROM drive: 48x)
•To change/modify/delete CX-One after installation, refer to the PDF manual “CX-One
Setup Manual”, Chapter 2 ”Installation and Uninstallation”.

This chapter describes an example of PLC System construction from design, online debugging on the actual
machine, and start-up/adjustment on-site as shown below.
CX-Programmer is used for ladder program creation and CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units (SIOU) setting,
while CX-Designer is used for indicator screen generation. Also, a program simulation Support Software CX-
Simulator is used as a debugging example.

Function
Traditionally, initial CPU Bus Unit and Special
I/O Unit settings were made by referring to
documentation to calculate DM address from
the Unit number and entering a hexadecimal
number. Now you can set it using the pull-down
menu in the CX-Programmer’s I/O Table.
Easy setup/transfer/verification operations are
available from the integrated parameter settings
screen as shown below, without recognizing
addresses (this function uses CPS function of
CX-One previously described).
For example, specify input number designation and range.
