This section describes the operation flow through execution of the project that
has been created using the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS.
The following settings must be set from CX-Process Tool before executing
Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS.
Compile CSV Tag Files Using CX-Process Tool
(Refer to the CX-Process Tool Operation Manual (W372).)
Use the CX-Process Tool to compile (create) a CSV tag file for the Loop
Control Unit/Board.
1. Use the CX-Process Tool to create a program for the Loop Control Unit/Board.
Register and connect each function block, and register the Send/Receive All
Blocks block (for Loop Control Units only).
2. Set a CSV tag for each function block.
3. After setting the CSV tags, create the CSV tag file.
Note: Supported by CX-Process Tool Ver. 2.0 or later only.
Automatically Build NS Project Using Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS
(Refer to Section 4 Basic Operations.)
Specify the CSV tag file compiled using the CX-Process Tool to enable
the NS Face Plate Screen Project to be automatically built.
Note: Specify a new project for the project to be built automatically.
If an existing project is specified, the communications settings, numeric
unit and scale settings, and data log settings will be changed to the
default values when a new project is created.
Read Project and Transfer to the NS-series PT Using CX-Designer
Using as a New Project
Load the project file created by Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS to
the CX-Designer.
Loading Face Plates into an Existing Project
Refer to 4-2 Merging Projects.
Edit screens or create new screens, as required.
(Automatically built project files can be used as is.)
Set the initial settings for communications between the NS-series PT and PLC
in the CX-Designer System Settings.
After confirming project details, transfer the project file to the NS-series PT.
