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.

!WARNING Failure to read and understand the information provided in this manual may result in per-

sonal injury or death, damage to the product, or product failure. Please read each section

in its entirety and be sure you understand the information provided in the section and

related sections before attempting any of the procedures or operations given.

Guide to Version Upgrade

From CX-Designer Version 1.0 to Version 2.0

Item Previous versions New version

CX-Designer Version 1.0 (NS-CXDC1-V1) Version 2.0 (NS-CXDC1-V2)

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.
