Software Structure

NC Unit data, such as parameters, sequences, and speeds, can be moved or
copied (overwritten) between PCs in the project tree. This feature enables
editing and re-use of the same or similar data with other PCs or NC Units.
The CX-Position communicates with NC Units using FinsGateway. Depending
on the type of FinsGateway driver used, online operations (e.g., monitoring
and transfer/verification of parameter and sequence data) are possible via
Host Link (SYSWAY-CV) or Ethernet.
The CX-Position can read information about the NC Units mounted on a PC
connected online, and automatically create a project based on this informa-
tion. (CX-Position can also upload actual data from NC Units and use it in the
project.) This feature eliminates the necessity of creating a new project offline
before going online.
Data created for the C200HW-NC
file extension) can be imported and used as data for the CS1W-NC
CJS1W-NC .

The CX-Position can be used on computers that satisfy the following condi-
tions.
Item
Computer IBM PC/AT or compatible
Operating system Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT 4.0
CPU Pentium 100 Mhz or higher
Memory 32 Mbytes min.
Hard disk drive 100 Mbytes min.
CD-ROM drive 1 min.
SVGA (800 × 600 pixels) min.
Monitor
The CX-Position is used to make project files with the configuration shown
below. The file extension for project files is ".nci".
Project file (".nci")
1,000 PCs max.
One "PC" contains the data for 1
PC (CPU Unit). One project file can
contain up to 1,000 PCs. One "NC"
contains all the data for 1 NC Unit.
The CX-Position exchanges data (online communications) with NC Units via
FinsGateway. In order to execute functions online, either FinsGateway Version
2 Embedded Edition or FinsGateway Version 3 Embedded Edition must be
installed on the same computer as CX-Position.
FinsGateway Version 3 Embedded Edition is included on the setup disk.
