CJ2 CPU Unit Software User’s Manual
With PLC-PT integrated simulation, it is possible to debug operation between screen data of an NS-
series PT and a CJ-series PLC program. This is achieved by linking the simulator function of the CX-
programmer and the offline test function of the CX-Designer PT screen design software. This enables
debugging screens and screen controls from ladder programming using only a computer rather than
connecting a computer and a PT with a cable. PLC-PT integrated simulation can also be started from
the CX-Programmer. For information on the debugging procedure, refer to the CX-Programmer Opera-
tion Manual (Cat. No. W446).
