Conventional Support Software
Only mounted Unit position information
Shows used position/size only
(only head address and size of used area
in CIO area are displayed)
Assignment DM setting of CPU Bus
Units and Special I/O Units is unavailable.
Configuring four-digit hexadecimal or
other value for each address by referring to
assignment DM area on the manual using
PLC memory as with universal DM area.
(Direct setting in many cases)
* It is necessary to configure values while
checking addresses based on Unit number.
And the data are not saved as parameter
data for each Unit (only as DM data for a
CPU Unit).
Setup data can be handled in the same
way as other I/O memory areas for saving
into a CXP project file or as a data file of
file memory.
By [Unit Setting] in the online CX-
Programmer's I/O Table.
No tool for monitoring Ethernet network.
By right-clicking on a Controller Link Unit of
the I/O Table in the online CX-Programmer
and selecting [Software Switch Setting].
By CX-Net (Data Link Component) in CX-
Programmer.
No tool for monitoring Controller Link
network.
CX-One
In addition to traditional functions, the
following functions are available:
Used as a setting terminal of CPU Bus
Units and Special I/O Units
Used as a terminal to start each Unit's
Support Software
By right-clicking a target Unit on the I/O
Table and selecting [Unit Setup],
configuration is available of CPU Bus Units
and Special I/O Units parameter (mainly
allocation DM) setting without referring to a
manual in the following dialog box.
* Setting is available using item names
without recognizing addresses. Also, data
can be saved/read as a parameter setting
data file for each Unit.
Setup data can be saved in a parameter
setting data file for each Unit, or into a CXP
project file for entire Units' parameter settings.
By right-clicking on an Ethernet Unit of the
I/O Table and selecting [Unit Setup]. Can be
saved as a parameter as with other CPU Bus
Units and Special I/O Units.
Ethernet network connection device can be
monitored by CX-Integrator.
By right-clicking on an Controller Link Unit of
the I/O Table online or offline and selecting
[Unit Setup].
Trough a Data Link Component by selecting
[Tools] > [Start Data Link] from CX-Integrator.
Controller Link network connection device
can be monitored by CX-Integrator.
Controller Link diagnosis tool can be started
as well (By selecting [Tools] > [Controller
Link Tool] > [Network Diagnosis] from online
CX-Integrator).
