Intended Audience 1
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 Compo-
Way/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 oper-
ating mode of the wrong node is changed, or the other node is not in a suit-
able status to receive the program or parameter data or the operating mode
change.
!Caution Particularly 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 com-
puter to actual Units (PLC CPU Bus Units or PLC Special I/O Units) or to
actual components (DeviceNet Masters/Slaves or CompoWay/F Slaves), or
when resetting Units mounted on other PLC nodes or components (DeviceNet
Masters/Slaves or CompoWay/F Slaves) connected via communications with
other PLC nodes, always check the identifying numbers of the actual Units or
Components (i.e., the unit numbers and unit addresses or node addresses)
before executing the transfer or reset. Unexpected operation and injury may
result if parameters are transferred to the wrong Unit or components, or the
wrong Unit or component is reset.

xvii
Safety Precautions 2
Observe the following precautions when using the CX-One.
• When saving or opening a project file, always confirm the location of the
folder and the file name before executing the save or open. The CX-One
automatically switches the folder when saving and opening.
• Before changing the operating mode, always confirm that doing so will not
adversely affect system operation.
• Always check the operation of programs and parameters sufficiently
before using them for actual system operation.
• Confirm that resetting CPU Bus Units, Special I/O Units, and DeviceNet
Master/Slave Units will not adversely affect system operation before
resetting these Units.

Overview of CX-One Section 1-1
1-1 Overview of CX-One
1-1-1 The CX-One FA Integrated Tool Package
The CX-One FA Integrated Tool Package integrates all of the Support Soft-
ware for OMRON PLCs and Components. Although previously it was neces-
sary to purchase, install, run, and connect online to the PLC separately for the
Support Software for each Unit, the CX-One now provides an integrated
development environment based on the CPS (Component and Network Pro-
file Sheet) for each OMRON Unit or Component. If the CX-One is installed in
a single computer, an integrated operating environment can be used all the
way from setting OMRON PLC Units through system startup and monitoring
to greatly increase system setup efficiency.
1-1-2 CX-One Features
Integrated Software
Management for OMRON
PLCs and Components
• One computer with the CX-One installed provides the Support Software
required to handle any OMRON product.
• All of the Support Software can be installed with a single license.
• Files saved from the various Support Software can be centrally managed
in one location.
Support Software for CPU
Bus Units and Special I/O
Units can be started from
the I/O tables.
When Support Software is started from the I/O tables (i.e., the Unit Configura-
tion Table registered in the PLC), PLC and Unit settings can be inherited so
that they do not have to be re-entered every time Support Software is started.
Component and Network
Profile Sheets (CPS)
• CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units can be set without concern for
memory addresses and without relying on operation manuals. Parameter
names, selections, and setting ranges are automatically displayed.
• Online, settings for virtual Units on the computer can be compared to the
settings in the actual Units, with any differences displayed in orange in the
comparison results.
• The Unit configuration in I/O tables is displayed using Unit model num-
bers.
• Model and unit version checks can be performed when transferring data
to actual Units.
• Device types on the network can be confirmed using Unit models.
Note Component and Network Profile Sheet (CPS) files contain CS/CJ-series Unit
definitions or Component definitions within the CX-One. CPS files are pro-
vided in XML format. The CX-One uses CPS files to recognize CS/CJ-series
Units. Settings for CPU Bus Units and Special I/O Units are also created
based on CPS files.
