Q Why does CX-Supervisor show different ActiveX properties to Visual
Basic or Excel?
Properties of ActiveX controls shown in the CX-Supervisor "ActiveX Property Browser" may differ
from those seen in the Visual Basic or Excel property browser. This can be for one or more of the
following reasons:
• Both Visual Basic and Excel show their own container properties in this window, as
well as the object properties. CX-Supervisor does not show its container properties.
Examples of VBA container properties are:
- CausesValidation
- DataSource
- DragIcon
- DragMode
- Height
- HelpContextID
- Index
- Left
- TabIndex
- TabStop
- Tag
- ToolTipText
- Top
- Visible
- WhatsThisHelpID
- Width
• CX-Supervisor only shows properties with data types it can edit for example Boolean,
Integer, Real, String, UserDefined, and Colours. Other data types i.e. Font type cannot
be edited so are not displayed. Also properties with multiple parameters are not listed in
CX-Supervisor as they cannot be edited.
• CX-Supervisor will show additional private object properties, which Visual Basic and
Excel choose not to display.
Q Is it possible to connect an external PLC to CX-Supervisor via a modem?
Yes, you can connect from CX-Supervisor via CX-Server to a PLC via a modem. In the PLC
configuration 'Network Settings' dialog, select the 'Modem' tab. CX-Server uses standard TAPI build
into the OS. The modem must be installed properly to be shown in the Modem list.
Q What is the CX-Supervisor and SYSMAC-SCS Tokens compatibility?
CX-Supervisor 2.0 does not operate with old software tokens from older versions. You need to
purchase a version 2.0 USB Dongle. Older product versions are illustrated below:
