1-1-1 Overview
The CX-Integrator is a Programming Device software package that enables reading the
PLC's network and serial network configuration from a personal computer via an online
connection. This enables easily performing many operations, such as monitoring the
connection status of various networks, setting parameters, and diagnosing networks.
The CX-Integrator can be placed online manually or automatically with the CS/CJ-series
PLC to which it is directly connected to enable uploading and monitoring the network
configuration (including device parameters) for that PLC or other network PLCs for each
network.
Direction connection to serial communications using the CompoWay/F protocol is also
possible without going through a PLC. The CompoWay/F network configuration can be
uploaded or automatic connection is possible using the NT Link protocol for NS-series PTs
and CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Furthermore, parameters in slaves on the networks can be set, edited, uploaded, and
downloaded.
Whenever required, network configuration information can be saved in files. The
configuration information in previously saved files can be later compared to the actually
current configuration.
