OMRON
Version 4.0 Upgrade Information
The following tables outline the changes that have been made from version 3.3 to version 4.0 of the CX-
Programmer.
Functionality Improved from Version 3.3 to Version 4.0
Compatible PLCs
CX-Programmer Version 4.0 supports the following PLCs:
CS/CJ-series CPU Unit Ver. 2.0 (including CJ1G-H Ver. 2.0, CJ1H-H Ver. 2.0, CJ1M
Ver. 2.0 (see note 1), CS1G-H Ver. 2.0, and CS1D-S Ver. 2.0)
CS1D-H CPU Unit Ver. 1.1
Note: 1. Includes CJ1M-CPU11/21.
Network Compatibility
• Ethernet Connection Using TCP/IP
TCP/IP can be used instead of the earlier UDP/IP for Ethernet connections with a
PLC to which a CS1W-ETN21 or CJ1W-ETN21 100Base-TX Ethernet Unit is
mounted. Select Ethernet (FINS/TCP) as the network type.
• Settings for CS1D (Duplex) Ethernet Unit
Unit setting and PLC Setup settings are supported for the CS1D-ETN21D Duplex
Ethernet Unit, enabling duplex operation for Ethernet. Refer to the CS1D-ETN21D
Duplex Ethernet Unit Operation Manual (Cat. No. W430) for details on settings.
Improvements to Program Reusability
• Creating Files of Multiple Rungs or a Single Program Section as a File (Reusable File) for
Saving/Reading
Previous version (Ver. 3.3)
Reusing a part of the
program (multiple rungs or a
single section) enabled by
moving or copying between
two sections using the
Section/Rung Manager
Dialog Box. Parts of the
program, however, could not
be saved or read as files.
2. Although previously "CS1H-H" was selected as the device type for CS1D
CPU Units for Duplex-CPU Systems, CX-Programmer Version 4.0 allows
selection of "CS1D-H."
Parts of the program (single or multiple rungs, or a single program section) can be
saved as a file (.cxr: text file) by selecting File − Reusable File − Save As. The file can
then be read and inserted in a user-set location in the program of another project by
selecting File − Reusable File − Add to Project.
In the same way, specified variables in a symbol table can be saved as files, and then
read and inserted in a symbol table of another project.
Multiple reusable files can also be inserted all together in a specified order. The
order used to insert multiple reusable files can also be saved in the list of reusable
files added to the project. This allows the group of reusable files to be managed as
a single unit of data.
