2. A Server is the central processing point of a Network which is accessible to all
computers. Networks affect CX-Server in that further associated options are
available if the computer Network is connected.
A data format supported by CX-Server.
Special Input /Output Unit.
A device which receives data or instructions from a master device.
Free areas within a rack to which units can be fixed.
Areas of memory employed by an SIO unit used to set operating parameters (similar in
manner to a hardware switch).
The parity bit is always set to 0.
A unit designed for a specific purpose.
An OMRON PLC device supported by CX-Server.
An area of PLC memory containing a flag indicating the status of steps used within a
program.
Bits indicating the end of transmission of each set of data bits; normally one or two bits,
they indicate the delay time between sending successive characters down the line.
An address that has been given a name to make the address information more flexible.
Symbols are inherited by CX-Server by the invoking application.
OMRON high speed industrial network (either co-axial or fibre optic).
OMRON high speed optical LAN which can be of type C SYSMAC NET or CV
SYSMAC NET.
OMRON network.
An area of memory used for controlling and managing a unit.
An arrangement of units, for example network, computers and PLCs.
A file format supported by the CX-Server Import tool. The Tagged database is also an
export format of the CX-Server Import tool.
Telephony Application Programming Interface.
The PLC to which information or instructions are directed.
An integral part of Microsoft Windows which allows Microsoft Windows based
applications to be started. CX-Server tools are run from the Taskbar.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
An OMRON device.
An area of PLC memory containing instructions which can be loaded at a later point for
use with other instructions.
1. A file format supported by the CX-Server Import tool. The Text is also an export
format of the CX-Server Import tool.
2. A data format supported by CX-Server.
An area of PLC memory containing program timers and their related completion flags.
A network, either C-Toolbus or CV-Toolbus, allowing communications with a device
via the serial COM port of a personal computer (in a similar manner to SYSMAC
WAY). Data is transmitted along the network in binary format.
CX-Server is made up of four tools.
The name of an aspect of a service application which identifies where a reference link
is to be incorporated; for example, within Excel the topic would be the name of the
worksheet to be used.
A device which can receive and transmit data.
The transfer of a program or data to a host (either a computer or a programming device)
from a lower-level (or slave) device.
