Programming the NX1P

Variables are names defined by the user. They are used for programming the NX1P
although addresses are used for the CJ2 and other traditional PLCs.

Programming the NX1P

Programming with variables eliminates the need to remember addresses and makes
programming faster and easier.
Programming with variables means that you can create programs using the names on your
control panel or touchscreen as shown below.
Programming Traditional PLCs
I/O numbers and timer numbers (0.00 and T0000 shown in the figure below) are used to
program traditional PLCs such as CJ2.
For most PLCs, comments can be added to the numbers in order to easily understand what
the numbers mean. Omron calls the comment "I/O comment".
