The improvements made from version 2.00 to version 2.50 of the CX-Process
Tool are listed in the following table.
Ver. 2.00
Does not support Loop
Control Unit version 2.50
FinsGateway only
Not supported.

Not supported.
Fuzzy Logic (Block Model 016), Range Conversion (Block Model
127), Ramped Switch (Block Model 167), Level Check (Block
Model 210), AI4 Terminals (DRT1-AD04) (Block Model 588), AO2
Terminals (DRT1-DA02) (Block Model 589)
FinsGateway or CX-Server can be selected as the
communications driver.
When CX-Server is selected, both CX-Programmer and the
CX-Process Tool can be started simultaneously (sharing the
communications driver CX-Server). Also, the computer can be
connected through the PLC's Peripheral Bus.
Added the Tuning Screen that could previously be used with
CX-Process Monitor only
This screen allows parameters such to be adjusted from the
CX-Process Tool. For example, PID constants and SPs can be
adjusted in the Basic PID Block. Also, the Fuzzy Logic Block can
be displayed only in this version of the CX-Process Tool.
When the CX-Process Tool is online and a function block's ITEM
has been set, it is possible to download just that ITEM's data
(operation data only) to the Loop Control Unit by clicking the
Download Button.
For example, this function can be used for the AT command
(autotuning) from the Basic PID Block or Advanced PID Block.
It is now possible to insert comments at any point in the diagram
when operating in Block Diagram Edit Mode or Ladder Diagram
Edit Mode. This function allows user-set names to be displayed
and printed (useful for schematic diagrams) next to commands in
function blocks or step ladder programs.
Function block units can be copied/cut/pasted in the Project
Workspace.
Step ladder programs (Block Model 301) can be automatically
assembled (converted from ladder diagram to mnemonic code)
when they are downloaded and automatically disassembled
(converted from mnemonic code to ladder diagram) when they
are uploaded. (The Mnemonic Flag specifies whether a program
can be converted to ladder diagram format.)
