Integrated OMRON PLCs and Component Support Software
FA Integrated Tool Package
The CX-One is an FA Integrated
Tool Package for connecting,
setting, and programming OMRON
components, including PLCs. CS1
programming and settings can be
done with just the CX-Programmer,
but the CX-One provides Support
Software for setting and
programming PTs, Temperature
Controllers, and many other
components. Using the CX-One
makes programming and setup
easy, shortening the total lead time
required for starting up machines
and equipment.
Easy Programming
Smart Input
A complete range of intuitive programming functions is provided, including instruction and address
input assistance, address incrementing, and address Incremental Copy.
These functions enable waste-free programming with minimal effort.
Instruction and Address Input Assistance
When you begin typing an instruction from the keyboard while in the Ladder Editor Window, suggested
instructions are displayed.
All you have to do is select the instruction from the list for easy input even if you do not remember the entire
mnemonic.
Automatic Insertion of Connecting Lines
When an output or application instruction is input, the required connecting line is inserted automatically
starting at the cursor location. This greatly simplifies the work required to insert lines.
Address Incremental Copy
To create the same group of ladder instructions more than once, the address incremental copy function can
be used to reuse the instructions simply by inputting an address offset. Also, address offsets can be set
individually and I/O comments can be created automatically.

Improved Programming Efficiency with Single-key Operation
The CX-Programmer features the "Single-key Concept" to increase operability. Apart from inputs to
ladder diagrams, history searches, and model jumps, single-key operation can be used for
simulation debugging as well.
Single-key Inputs
The allocation of shortcut keys can be checked in the
guidance for ladder input key operations. Key inputs,
such as the Key for NO input conditions, the
Key for OUTPUT instruction, and the Key for
special instructions are convenient when programming.
Just press the Key and enter the bit number and
comment to complete the input condition. Special
instruction can be input as shown in the following figure.
Lines can be easily connected using key operations.

Multiple Languages Can Be Combined
To Make Programming Flexible
The multilingual feature supports IEC
61131-3. Programming is possible in a
language that is appropriate for the process
by combining ladder diagram and ST
languages. Function blocks can be created
to make programming even more efficient.

Ladder diagrams, communications programs, and control screens can
be created simply by selecting and pasting program modules from the
extensive libraries. Using FB and SAP modules to build the programs,
it is possible to create programs that are easier to understand.
