PART 1: CX-Programmer
CHAPTER 4 – Reference
Note 2: I/O break conditions cannot be set.
Previously, it was necessary to start the CX-Simulator by selecting Work Online Simulator from the CX-
Programmer's PLC Menu, transfer the program to the CX-Simulator in the computer, and execute the debugging
operation from the CX-Simulator's debugging console. With the CX-Programmer Ver. 6.1, the debugging
operation can be executed from the CX-Programmer's toolbar.
The display can be made to scroll automatically during Step Run or Continuous Step Run operation. Also, the
break points can be displayed in a list and the display can be made to jump to a specified break point in the list.
Procedure for Simulation Function Operation
1, 2, 3...
Note: For details on the Step In and Step Out commands, refer to the CX-Programmer Ver. 6.1
Note: Set the duration of the step execution during Continuous Step Run operation by selecting
Automatic Scrolling for Step Run Operation
The Simulator can be set to automatically scroll the display to the paused point in the program when performing
Step Run or Continuous Step Run operation. To set scrolling, select Tools - Simulation - Always Display
Current Execution Point.
Break Point List/Jump Function
A break point is a point in the ladder program where execution is paused temporarily. With the CX-One Ver 1.1
(CX-Programmer Ver. 6.1 and CX-Simulator Ver. 1.6), it is possible to list the break points set for the active
project's PLC and jump to a specified break point position in that list.
1, 2, 3...
PLC-PT Integrated Simulation
When using CX-Programmer Ver. 7.2 or higher (CX-One version 2.1 or higher), the CX-Designer's offline test
function can be used to debug the interactive operation between a CS/CJ/CP/NSJ-series CPU Unit program and
NS-series PT touch panel screen data.
Note 1: The PLC – PT integrated simulation can operate only with the combination of a CS/CJ-series,
2: This function cannot be used unless the CX-Designer and CX-Simulator are installed when
Select Simulation – PLC-PT Integrated Simulation. It is also possible to select the CX-Programmer project's
first PLC in the project workspace, right-click to display the pop-up menu, and select PLC-PT Integrated
Simulation.
