Page 29: Section 1 Overview
Communications Section 1 Overview This section provides an overview of the CX-Integrator and describes CX-Integrator menus and connections.
Page 30: The Cx-Integrator
Overview The CX-Integrator is a Programming Device software package that enables reading the PLC's network and serial network configuration from a personal computer via an online connection. This enables easily performing many operations, such as monitoring the connection status of various networks, setting parameters, and diagnosing networks.
Page 31 The network/serial communications configuration of a PLC other than the one originally connected to online to can be set as the target. The PLC that was originally connected to online (called the relay PLC, see note 1), is relayed through to connect to another PLC (called the target PLC, see note 2) to switch the online connection.
Page 32: Functions According To Network
PLC. When running the CX-Integrator on Windows Vista or Window 7, an online connection will not be possible to the relay PLC even if communications for one of these networks is selected. If FinsGateway is selected, connection will not be possible to a DeviceNet, CompoNet, or CompoWay/F network.

Page 35: Communicating Across Network Layers
1-1-5 Communicating Across Network Layers If relay network routing tables are set in the CPU Units of the PLCs, a PLC on a different network layer than the network of the PLC connected to the CX-Integrator can be set as the target PLC to enable uploading, saving, and comparing the network configuration of the target PLC.
Page 36: Specifications
Note 1: To connect the computer running CX-Integrator directly as a CompoWay/F slave, set the Device type to CompoWay/F Device. Note 2: When using a pre-Ver. 1.1 CS1D-H CPU Unit, use it as if it were a CS1H-H CPU Unit.
Page 37 FinsGateway When running the CX-Integrator on Windows Vista or Windows 7, an online connection will not be possible to the relay PLC even if communications for one of these networks is selected. If FinsGateway is selected, connection will not be possible to a DeviceNet, CompoNet, or CompoWay/F network.
Page 38 Note: The CS/CJ-series PLC must have a lot number of 030201 or later (manufactured 1 February 2003 or later) to start the CX-Designer and transfer screen data to an NS-series PT from the CX-Designer through the PLC. The following PLCs can be used: CS1G-H, CS1H-H, CS1D-S, CJ1M, or CJ1H-H.

PLC can be uploaded. PLCs with Only One Network Communications Unit If the relay PLC (which is the target PLC when the online connection is first made) has only one Network Communications Unit (see note), it is not necessary to create and transfer a local network table.
Page 95 CPU Unit. An EtherNet/IP Unit, built-in EtherNet/IP port, or Ethernet Unit can be used. Note 2: The local network table is one of the routing tables. It lists the unit numbers and net- work addresses of the network Communications Units.
Page 96 Network Communications Unit, except in the case outlined below. Even if an online connection is made to a PLC, it will not be possible to upload or download the network configurations unless a local network table is registered.
Page 97 • Always create local network tables and transfer them to the relay PLC and target PLC. • When specifying a target PLC in another network, register both local network tables and re- lay network tables in all of the PLCs on the path between the relay PLC and target PLC. Overall Procedure Start the CX-Integrator.
Page 98 Reading Network Configurations and Parameters from Actual Networks and Saving Them to Files Online To simplify maintenance, the target PLC’s actual network configuration and component parameters can be uploaded and saved in a project file (.cin) for each network. Overall Procedure Start the CX-Integrator.
Page 99 Basic Procedures Designing DeviceNet, CompoNet, and CompoWay/F Networks Offline Networks can be designed on the CX-Integrator even before they have been installed. Parameters for individual DeviceNet and CompoNet masters and slaves can be set. Parameters for individual CompoWay/F slaves can be set.
Page 100 Reading Saved Parameters and Downloading Them Online to DeviceNet, CompoNet, or CompoWay/F Components All of the component parameters on a network can be downloaded to the actual components from a previously saved project file (.cin) after the network has been installed.
Page 101 Directly Connecting the Computer Running CX-Integrator to CompoWay/F Components without Going Through a PLC Uploading the CompoWay/F network configuration is possible through a direction connection from the CX-Integrator to CompoWay/F protocol components using RS-232C or RS-485 communications without going through a PLC. Component parameters can also be set.

If different networks are uploaded when connected to different PLCs, a single PLC can sometimes be registered as different PLCs in the Network Configuration Windows. If this happens, the Combine two PLCs menu item can be used to combine the two PLCs into the same PLC.
Page 121 • As PLC3 in the N1 (Ethernet) network • As PLC4 in the N2 (Controller Link) network Here, for example, PLC4 can be eliminated and combined with PLC3 as the same PLC. The procedure is as follows: 1. Go offline after uploading the networks, right-click PLC3 in network N1 (Ethernet), and select Combine two PLCs.
