About this Manual:

The CX-Designer is a software package that enables creating screens for OMRON Programmable Ter-

minals. Please be sure you understand the functions and performance of the CX-Designer to ensure

correct application of the Programmable Terminals.

Please read this manual and related manuals carefully and be sure you understand the information

provided before attempting to use the CX-Designer.

Section 1 provides an overview of the CX-Designer and its features and explains basic operating

methods.

Section 2 describes how to install and uninstall the CX-Designer.

Section 3 describes the CX-Designer menus and basic procedures.

Section 4 describes convenient functions of the CX-Designer.

The Appendices provide a comparison between the CX-Designer and NS-Designer, tables of short-

cut keys, and data transfer procedures between different versions of NS-series PT.

Guide to Version Upgrade

NS system software Version 6.2 or 6.5 Version 6.6

Integrated simulation The only function available was simulated

testing of PT screen operations on a per-

sonal computer.

Using a personal computer, a virtual PT

can be connected to a virtual PLC (CX-

Simulator) or to an actual PLC, and the

operation of the entire PT-PLC system can

be simulated. This makes it possible to

reduce the total time involved in debugging.

Symbol programming without

addresses

Symbol names, addresses, and comments

were entered in symbol tables. Then the

required symbols were selected from the

symbol tables when creating screens.

Symbol names and comments can be input

for symbol tables with no addresses. This

allows screens to be created using symbol

names without inputting addresses. Enter-

ing symbols in screen designs without

addresses makes it possible to reduce the

total time involved in design.

Multi-vendor connectivity Not supported. It is now possible to connect OMRON NS-

series PTs to Mitsubishi FX-series PLCs,

A-series PLCs, and Siemens S7-series

PLCs.

Data security The following two types of data transfers

are possible between CX-Designer (run-

ning on a personal computer) and a PT:

•Data transfers with the PT.

•With data transfers using a Memory Card,

data can be uploaded and downloaded by

any user.

A password can now be set for creating

data. When data with a set password is

transferred to a PT, the password is then

required in order to upload the data. This

prevents users who do not know the pass-

word from obtaining that data from the PT.

In addition, a password can be required to

transfer data to the PT. This prevents data

from being accidentally overwritten.

User security Any of five levels of passwords could be set

for each functional object. A dialog box ask-

ing for the password was displayed each

time an attempt was made to use a func-

tional object for which a password had

been set, and the object could not be used

unless the password was input.

Once a user inputs the password to use a

functional object for which a password has

been set, the password does not have to be

input again as long as the user continues

using only functional objects for which

lower level passwords have been set. Func-

tional objects with a higher-level password

cannot be manipulated. (A warning mes-

sage will be displayed if an attempt is

made.) This makes it possible to create

applications that permit only the necessary

operations by users who have entered

passwords, and thus helps prevent faulty

operations.

Consecutive line drawing Not available. Data in memory is treated as X and Y coor-

dinates, and straight lines are drawn

between the applicable coordinates to cre-

ate consecutive line drawing. This makes it

possible to handle applications involving

the drawing of various graphics in two-

dimensional space that could not be drawn

using the existing graph components.

Improvements in broken-line

graph

Number of monitor points: 256 max. •Number of monitor points: 1,000 max.

•Batch reading

•Graph overwriting

•Indirect specification of starting display

position

•Indirect specification of displaying/hiding

graph lines

•Indirect specification of displaying/hiding

scale lines

Ladder Monitor To use the Ladder Monitor it was necessary

to copy the Ladder Monitor software from a

CD-ROM to a Memory Card and to install

the Memory Card in an NS-series PT. In

addition, the PT was reset when starting or

exiting the Ladder Monitor.

With version-2 NS-series PTs (except for

the NS5-V2 and NSJ5), ladder monitoring

is built into the PT as a standard feature, so

no separate Memory Card is required. (A

Memory Card is required for version-1 PTs,

however, just as before.) In addition, neither

version-1 nor version-2 PTs are reset when

starting or ending the Ladder Monitor when

Ladder Monitor version 2.8 is used. These

improvements make the Ladder Monitor

easier to use and reduce operating time.

Symbol table transfers when

transferring screen data

Symbol tables set using the CX-Designer

could be managed only by the CX-

Designer, and symbol data was lost when

data was uploaded from an NS-series PT.

When screen data is downloaded from the

CX-Designer, the symbol tables are down-

loaded together with it. Likewise, when

screen data is uploaded, the symbol tables

are uploaded too.

Holding log and alarm informa-

tion when transferring screen

data

All of the log and alarm information in the

PT was initialized when screen data was

downloaded.

It is now possible to select whether log and

alarm information is to be initialized when

screen data is downloaded.

PLC data trace reading Not supported. (This was a function of the

CX-Programmer.)

Trace results from data traces (which is a

CPU Unit function) can now be read by the

PT and displayed in time chart format.

(CSV files cannot be saved.) This makes it

possible, using just the PT without CX-Pro-

grammer, to isolate the causes of errors

that occur on-site.

Addition of European fonts With the built-in raster fonts in NS-series

PTs, Russian and Greek characters were

full-width and not all characters were avail-

able.

All Russian and Greek characters are now

available, and all characters are half-width.

Japanese file names Two-byte characters could not be used for

project file names.

Two-byte characters can now be used for

project file names.

Video display mode setting Image quality could not be adjusted when

an NS-CA002 RGB/Video Input Unit was

used.

It is now possible to select from three pat-

terns for image quality adjustment. When a

visual sensor is connected, even small dis-

play characters can be read. It is now also

possible to adjust the display position for

RGB display.

SAP (Smart Active Parts) --- SAP has been added for the EJ1 Modular

Temperature Controller, G3ZA Multi-chan-

nel Power Controller, and Troubleshooters.

Automatic using symbol names

and I/O comments as labels

and alarm messages

--- Symbol names and I/O comments of the

communications addresses can be auto-

matically used as functional object labels

and alarm messages.

NS-Runtime --- Projects can be created for NS-Runtime.
