Monitoring Ncs; Section 8 - Omron WS02-NCTC1-E - 07-2001 Operation Manual

This section provides information about monitoring NC Units. The NC Unit's current positions, error codes, and status are
displayed on the NC Monitor. Monitor Units are also available, displaying sequence numbers and current positions for up
to four Units simultaneously. Operating memory area monitoring, operating data area monitoring, and NC Unit error logs
can also be displayed. For details on NC error log display, refer to 10-1 NC Unit Error Logs.
Connect the computer to the PC with a Connecting Cable and confirm that you are online before attempting to monitor an
NC Unit. (Refer to 2-2 Connecting to a PC and 6-2 FinsGateway Configuration and Startup.)
If OMRON Support Software that communicates using CX-Server (e.g., CX-Programmer, CX-Protocol, or CX-Motion)
or an application that uses a special serial driver is connected online, it is not possible to perform online operations from
CX-Position using the same COM port. The reverse is also true.
Quit online connection for the OMRON Support Software that communicates using CX-Server (e.g., CX-Programmer,
CX-Protocol, or CX-Motion) or the application that uses a special serial driver, and then re-attempt online operations from
CX-Position after starting up FinsGateway's Serial Unit servicing.
