Omron CX-MOTION Specifications

WS02-MCTC1-EV
CX-Motion
Creates programs to control the motion controller and monitors controller status
Provides the ideal environment for motion control support, from motion controller
program development to full system operation.
Key Features
The CX-Motion software can be used to create, edit, and print the various parameters, position data, and motion
control programs (G code) required to operate Motion Controllers, transfer the data to the Motion Control Units, and
monitor operation of the Motion Control Units. Increase productivity in every step of the motion control process,
from development of the motion control program to system operation.
Motion Control Programs
Easily create motion control G Code programs and parameters.
CX-Motion can create all of the data needed in the Motion Control Unit,
such as parameters, position data, and the program. The program can be
input in either G code or mnemonics.
● When the Unit is connected online, data can be transferred,verified, and
saved.
● Data for different Units can be registered and managed as separate pro-
jects.
Operation Monitor
Powerful support during startup and operation
The MC Unit Monitoring function can display vital information at the compu-
ter, such as the present position, task being executed, I/O status, error dis-
plays, and servo system trace data.
● Up to 20 errors that have occurred in the Motion Control Unit can be sto-
red and displayed (CS1W-MC421/221 and CV500-MC421/221 Motion
Control Units only).
Automatic Loading Function
Ideal for flexible, small-lot production lines
Various programs and position data can be stored on disks for the
computer running the CX-motion software and the required
program/position data can be substituted into the Motion Control Unit when
necessary. More than 100 different application programs can be used in
this way. A wide variety of programs can be available for execution if the
computer is used to storedata for the MC Unit.
