Software Configuration

 Defining the Configuration
After making the physical connections of the network, the configuration then has to be defined in the
software. OMRON provides a dedicated PC-based configuration program, called CX-Configura-
torFDT, as well as the required DTMs for this purpose. It can be used to:
• Define the master(s).
• Assign slaves to their respective master(s).
• Define I/O Configuration and parameters of individual slave devices.
• Define bus parameters, e.g. baud rate, target rotation time etc.
 Downloading the Configuration
The configuration must be downloaded to the Master Unit before system operation can take place.
This is made possible by either connecting the USB port of the PC to the NJ-series controller unit
with a USB interface cable, or use an ethernet connection between the PC and the NJ-series con-
troller unit.
