CX-One

One software for your complete machine

Total machine integration, was a dream in the eighties,

a vision in the nineties and is now materialising into reality.

Enabling complete machine and plant automation from one

single platform without having to worry about fieldbuses,

communications, integration of various software and above

all without being locked with one dominant supplier. Our aim

is to minimize the time and effort you spend in automation

and focus your resources in creativity.

Hence our motto JUST CREATE.

The Automation industry has suffered from overuse

of technical jargon such as CIM, fieldbus, flexibility,

digital motion control or integration for many years,

and these ‘Marketing phrases’ seem to mean totally

different things to suppliers and users and the result

is that many users now don’t believe these claims

from suppliers! Omron is trying to make it easy

for you, so instead of hiding behind this technical

jargon we will instead talk about the functionality

that you really want.

What is Smart Platform?

One software

CX-One, a single programming and configuration environment

that enables the user to build, configure and program networks,

PLCs, HMIs, motion control systems, drives, temperature

controllers and sensors. The result of a single software is to

reduce complexity of the configuration and allowing automation

systems to be programmed or configured with minimal training.

One software extends to support tag sharing between

programming software packages, so for example re-entering

the PLC tags in your HMI software is a thing of the past!

One connection

From a single connection point either locally, through networks

or from a modem connection the Omron ‘Smart Platform’

devices on your machine can programmed or parameterised.

Apart from easier programming and setup this connectivity

allows full remote access or teleservicing of your complete

machine to become a reality.

The same transparent communications architecture also allows

Omron devices to easily communicate together passing and

sharing information and enabling more effective modular

machine design.

One minute

‘Plug & Work’ functionality is achievable with a wide range

of Omron products and covers many areas to reduce the ‘Total

Cost of Ownership’ of an Omron system through reduced

programming, configuration, wiring, setup and maintenance.

‘One minute programming’ is through Omron’s function block

library, device profiles and SMART Active Parts, which can be

simply ‘drag & drop’-configured in contrast to conventional

programing. The SMART Active Parts are pre-defined electronic

objects of field devices (e.g. ‘read actual speed’ of an inverter,

view a scene from a vision sensor, represent a temperature

controllers etc.) that can be dragged and dropped into the

HMI screen.

‘One Minute’ configuration allows advanced devices such as

Vision sensors detecting batch-code data, or advanced gradient

temperature controllers can be configured and ‘taught’ with the

single touch of a button.

3. Standard look&feel

4. Easy project management

Previously, each Support Software

application was purchased separately

for each different PLC, Special I/O Unit,

or CPU Bus Unit and had to be installed

individually in the computer. It was also

necessary to register each application

separately for support. With the CX-One

Package, all of the applications can be

purchased and installed together.

In addition, all of the applications can

be registered together as a package.

2. One installation

Common graphical interface and operation for the software, regardless of the device type improves ease of use & reduces

training needs. In terms of ergonomics, the general appearance of the software (menus, functions etc.) is the same for all

products, which aids familiarisation and reduces time spent on training. As for documentation, it is unique and makes

searching is easier.

A common file management operates in the background to automatically save all of the settings for the different devices

into one common directory on your computer allowing an easy PC backup of a project.

Network Software

Integrated software to simplify network configuration and start-up.

Easy configuration for even the most complex of settings.

CX-One covers all of the automation network setting and startup

procedures. The setting and configuration can be made from

any PLC in the network through ‘One Connection’. The networks

covered include all of the common networks - Ethernet and

• The current parameter settings of the

Communications Units can be brought up

in a Window from a PLC in the FA network.

• The online verification function displays

differences between the actual Units

and settings.

• Each parameter setting window displays the

present setting. It is not necessary to refer to

the manual when editing, because the CPS

file’s information identifies each parameter

and shows the allowed setting range.

are required in order to use the FA network functions.

participating nodes, parameter settings in each node,

connection/disconnection status, and status of signal

transmissions.

• The settings of each node participating in the

specified Controller Link network can be read and

checked for consistency.

• If there are errors, they are displayed in 3 levels

based on order of importance.

• Start data link table settings from the Tool Menu.

• Basic data link table allocations can be performed easily

by specifying the settings in the table with the wizard.

The data link allocation is accomplished just by editing

the necessary entries.

Programming Software - PLCs

One programming software for all Omron PLCs, with integrated

management of all hardware configuration.

The CX-Programmer Ver. 6.0, which is bundled with the CX-One

FA Support Tool Package, has evolved from its earlier role as

a PLC Programming Device with the added role as parameter

setting software for PLCs, Special I/O Units, and CPU Bus Units.

Operations from the PLC I/O Tables

When the PLC I/O Table Component starts, each Unit’s settings

and parameters can be read, changed, and compared online

to the actual Units, so system design time and startup time can

be reduced.

Information such as the model number, product name, unit

version, and unit number are clearly displayed in the I/O table.

CPS Files Improve and Simplify Communications Unit Settings

• When a Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit Edit Parameters Dialog Box is started from

an I/O Table, the present settings are called up in the dialog box. The information

from the CPS file clearly shows each parameters function and setting range, so it

isn’t necessary to refer to the manual when setting the parameters.

• The settings are compared online with the actual Units connected at that time.

Any mismatched settings are displayed in orange.

When the CX-Programmer’s PLC I/O Table Component starts,

each PLC Unit’s associated Support Software and the

CX-Integrator network configuration software can

be started freely.

CPS Files Improve and Simplify Communications Unit Settings

• The CPS file information is used in the I/O tables, so each

Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit’s specialized Support Software

application can be started easily from the I/O tables.

• When the specialized Support Software application starts,

required settings, such as the PLC model, Unit information,

and online information, are passed to the application so it isn’t

necessary to enter those settings again.

Programming Software – PLCs

Easy programming with powerful results reduce your programming

and testing time but increase your machine flexibility.

The FB/ST language programming environment has advanced

in CX-Programmer Ver. 6.0. The CX-Programmer now supports

nested (multi-level) function blocks. The CX-Programmer

achieves a genuine structured programming environment,

Supports Nested Function Blocks

(Multi-level FB Structure)

in which user-defined function block units and OMRON’s Smart

function block library objects can be combined in levels to

create large-scale standard program units.

• Processes that are used repeatedly were

defined together as a function block (FB).

The FB could be called as an element within

a section.

• Different FBs defined in a section can be nested

up to 7 levels deep. The called FB is either

pasted as an instance in another FB (for ladder

language programs) or called using an FB call

statement (for ST language programs).

• A standard Smart FB object or user-defined FB can be called from

an FB definition created in ladder or ST language.
