1-1 What Is the CX-Simulator?
1-1-1 Summary
The CX-Simulator emulates the operation of CS/CJ-series CPU Unit to the
computer, providing an equivalent development environment to that of an
actual PLC system only with software. Furthermore, various debugging func-
tions and tools that are not available in the actual PLC allow more effective
development and debugging.
Note Emulation for units other than network communications units and Serial
Communications Boards/Units is not available. They are registered only for
calculating I/O refresh time and peripheral servicing time.
The CX-Simulator operates on the computer with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT,
2000, or XP.
The CX-Simulator can execute the following operation by downloading pro-
grams from the CX-Programmer on the same computer to the virtual CPU
Unit and by driving the virtual CPU Unit without connecting with the actual
CS/CJ-series PLC.

1. Debug programs with virtual external inputs to the virtual CPU Unit using
the Virtual External Input Tool or the Debugging Program.
2. Use various debugging functions such as address execution and break
point setting that are not available in CS/CJ-series PLCs.
3. Simulate the cycle time, enabling to simulate the CPU Unit without an ac-
tual PLC.
4. Debug functions of network/serial communications.
