CHAPTER 12 – Databases OMRON
Page 194 Release 2.0
This editor is unique in CX-Supervisor, in that actual database connections can be tested online in the
Development Environment. The ability to connect online also has the added benefit of providing
assistance in creating objects lower down in the hierarchy. This editor has been designed to enable a
large proportion of the database functionality, to be performed automatically (i.e. without the need for
Script functions), although a comprehensive set of Database Script functions are available.
Configuring a Connection
Connections to existing databases are added to the Workspace by using a right mouse-button context
sensitive menu option ‘Add Connection...’ which invokes the Add/Modify Database connection
dialog. They can be modified later by selecting the 'Edit...' option from the menu.
Add/Modify Database connection dialog
The Add Connection dialog show below is show when the 'Add Connection...' menu option is
selected from the Database connection editor, and the identical Modify Connection dialog when the
'Edit' menu is selected.
