CSV tags and tags for Monitor Plus (CSV monitor tags) are set using the CX-Process Tool.
These tags are used to specify Loop Control Unit/Board data.
Prepare user configuration screens for use in the online operation screen.
Overview Screen
Place buttons for progressing on the Control Screen, Trend Screen, and other screens. Four columns and
eight lines are displayed on each screen (32 screens max.). Alarm status for each loop is displayed on
the button on Control Screens.
Control Screen
Control blocks such as the PID blocks and Indication blocks, and some Operation blocks are displayed for up
to 8 loops in a single screen in the form of a field device. The maximum number of screens is 400.
This screen displays the SP, PV, and MV numeric values, displays a PV as a bar graph that can be scaled,
and can be used for changing the SP, MAN, and other setting values. When an alarm occurs, the color of the
bar graphs changes. You can progress to the Tuning Screen from the Control Screen.
Tuning Screen
This screen is for setting P, I, and D parameters in control blocks such as the PID blocks. The PV, SP, and MV
can be monitored while tuning the parameters. The maximum number of screens is 400 x 8 = 3,200.
When an alarm occurs, the color of the bar graphs changes.
Fine-tuning according to the degree specified by the user is possible for PID constants.
Trend Screen
The analog signals output from tag ITEMs for each function block can be collected at fixed intervals and
saved to a file. If necessary, up to 8 analog signals can be displayed on one screen in the form of
a multi-dot recorder.

Descriptions
Connect the computer to the CPU Unit's peripheral port, RS-232C port,
or the RS-232C port of a Serial Communications Unit.
•Connecting Cable:
When connecting to the CPU Unit peripheral ports: Model CS1W-CN
When connecting to the CPU Unit's RS-232C port: Model XW2Z-
For details on the Connecting Cables, refer to CX-Process Monitor Plus Operation
Manual (Cat. No. W428).
•Communications protocol with PLC: Host Link (not supported on Peripheral bus)
Install the driver in a computer equipped with a Controller Link Support Board
(PCI slot) to support communications between the computer and PLCs equipped
with a Controller Link Unit.
Install the driver in a computer equipped with a Controller Link Support Board
(ISA slot) to support communications between the computer and PLCs equipped
with a Controller Link Unit.
Install the FinsGateway ETN_UNIT driver on the computer on which an Ethernet
board is mounted to enable communications with the PLC on which the Ethernet
Unit is mounted.
