Introducing CX-Programmer Projects
The information within a CX-Programmer project consists of ladder program(s), operands,
required PLC memory contents, IO tables, expansion instructions (if applicable) and symbols.
Each CX-Programmer project file is separate and is a single document.
CX-Programmer can only open a single project at a time. However, it is possible to deal with
many project files by using CX-Programmer at once.
A CX- Programmer project has a .CXP or .CXT file extension. (Normally the .CXP file is
used, and is a compressed version of the .CXT file).
Once the project itself is created the desired PLC and symbol information can be defined. For a full discussion
of PLCs, refer to the CX-Server - PLC Tools User Manual.
The CX-Programmer Environment
This chapter describes how to manipulate the different views of the main window. Use this
chapter to develop an understanding with the layout of CX-Programmer and to customize it
according to specific requirements.
