1-3-2 Operating Systems and Environments
The operating systems on which this software should be run are:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 (SP2)
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
1-3-3 Interfaces to Hardware Communications
CX-Supervisor utilises communications driver CX-Server for direct
communication with OMRON factory automation equipment.
If it is intended for a PLC to be connected to the development computer for
executing program code and testing, one of the following is required:
• RS-232C connection via a standard serial port on the computer (COM1
etc.)
• RS-422 connection to a 422 serial board
• Standard Ethernet board
• Standard USB port
• An OMRON Network Service Board
Refer to the appropriate hardware system manuals for full information about
connecting and configuring these devices for the environment.
1-4 Copy Protection
CX-Supervisor is copy protected to prevent illegal use. During installation a
valid License Key must be entered. The CX-Supervisor Runtime environment
has additional protection and if the protection is not installed certain features
are inaccessible. To gain access to these features the USB protection must be
installed.
1-4-1 Copy Protection using a USB Dongle
The Runtime copy protection method consists of a small box called a "Dongle"
which is plugged into a USB port. When CX-Supervisor is run the port is
checked for a valid dongle and the program fails if it is not present.
1-4-1-1 Fitting a CX-Supervisor USB Dongle
Simply connect the dongle to any spare USB port of the computer noting any
instructions supplied. If there are no spare sockets a "USB Hub" device may
be used to add extra sockets.
Once fitted, Windows will automatically detect the new hardware and the
power light on the USB Dongle will illuminate.
Note: This product does not install or run on Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows98

Note: CX-Supervisor is not guaranteed to be compatible with computers running
Windows emulation (e.g. Apple Macintosh or VMWare).
Note: Internet Explorer 5.0 or later is required to use the version of CX-Server
