The CX-Simulator provides the following convenient functions.
By Step Run, the contents of IR/DR for each task during ladder diagram exe-
cution can be monitored with the CX-Programmer SV monitoring, which has
been difficult to debug.
After setting break points to the mnemonic codes in the Step Run window,
executing the ladder diagram allows to monitor the value before the mne-
monic code is executed.
Any range of a program can be executed by designating the execution start
point (the start pointer) and execution interrupt point (the break pointer).
When developing a monitoring program or a data collection program on the
computer, debugging communications functions was done with the actual
PLC connected. If the CX-Simulator is used together, on the other hand, a
single computer will do all of the debugging. (Valid only for application pro-
grams using FinsGateway.)
Coordinated functions with commercial spreadsheet programs and text edi-
tors allow using familiar software for data collection/display.
