Network
USB and EtherNet/IP Ports are Standard Features for SYSMAC CJ2 CPU Units
Easier and Safer Connection to PLCs
Applicable Models: CJ2 (coming
soon)
Easy connection with USB
A standard USB cable can be easily connected to the USB port on the front
of the CPU Unit.
Easy Connection with EtherNet/IP
Easy connection by specifying the computer LAN (Ethernet) port and IP
address only.
Prevent Connection Errors by Verifying PLC Names
The CJ2 CPU Unit can record a PLC name. Errors in transfers can be
prevented ahead of time because the PLC name can be compared with what is
in the project file when connecting online.
Browse and Connect from the EtherNet/IP Connection List
Even if the IP address is unknown, you can browse a list of PLCs connected
to the EtherNet/IP and select one to connect to it. With this, remote
debugging and maintenance can be conducted smoothly on site.
The PLCs connected to the EtherNet/IP network are automatically detected.
Simply select from the list of PLCs and connect.
Integration of Network Construction and Parameter Settings
Now Supports EtherNet/IP and CompoNet
EtherNet/IP and CompoNet are now supported in addition to previously
supported Ethernet, Controller Link, and DeviceNet networks.
High-speed and high-capacity data links are possible with EtherNet/IP, and
synchronization cab be specified for each application without depending on
the number of nodes.

Easy Programming
Comprehensive Programming Environment with Single-key Operation and
Flexible Multilingual Support
In addition to practical functions such as single-key operation that
improves the programming efficiency, processing is conducted in the
optimal language. Flexible multilingual support and the Smart Libraries
enable a comprehensive programming environment.
Improved Programming Efficiency with Single-key Operation
The CX-Programmer features the "Single-key Concept" to increase
operability. Apart from inputs to ladder diagrams, history searches, and
model jumps, single-key operation can be used for simulation debugging as
well.
Multiple Languages Can Be Combined To Make Programming Flexible
The multilingual feature supports IEC 61131-3. Programming is possible in
a language that is appropriate for the process by combining ladder diagram
and ST languages. Function blocks can be created to make programming even
more efficient.
Smart Libraries (Smart FB Library, SAP)
Ladder diagrams, communications programs, and control screens can be
created simply by selecting and pasting program modules from the extensive
libraries. Using FB and SAP modules to build the programs, it is possible
to create programs that are easier to understand.
Diversity of Programs Is Top Class in the Industry
High Program Readability
OMRON has refined the programming environment so that programs can be
designed and written efficiently with minimal errors, high readability,
and adaptability to changes in specifications.
Programming with Symbols
Data Specification Is Easy To Understand with Array Variables (Array
Symbols)
Programs are easy to understand because data string sequences can be
described with subscripts. This feature can also be used for network
symbols. Therefore exchanges of multiple data with external devices can be
easily written.
(Available languages: Ladder diagrams, ST, and SFC)
Example: Array variable: ABC
![When you want to access this data, use ABC[3]. Ladder diagram: Copy ABC[3] to D200. Structured Text (ST): Substitute ABC[0] to ABC[3] - ABC[3]:=ABC[0];](cx-one_19.jpg)
Symbols Can Be Used As Subscripts for Array Variables
Data can be dynamically specified by using physical addresses and symbols
as the subscripts to arrays.
Applicable Models: CJ2 (coming
soon)
Example:
data[i] : Indirect specification of an element number using symbol i If
symbol i is &5, it specifies the 5th element in the array
![Ladder diagram: Copy data[i] to D200. [i]: Symbol that indirectly specifies the element number (i).](cx-one_20.jpg)
Usability Has Improved Also for Programming Using Addresses
DM/EM Bits Can Be Addressed
Bits could not be addresses in the DM and EM Areas with the previous
SYSMAC CPU Units, but now it is possible with the CJ2. Programs with high
readability can now be created.
Applicable Models: CJ2 (coming
soon)
Example: D100.05: D100 bit 05, E0_100.03: E0_100 bit 03
Address Offsets Can Be Specified
Offsets from a specific starting bit address or word address can be
specified in programming. Addresses can be dynamically specified with the
contents of a word by specifying the specific address in I/O memory as the
offset. This way it is possible to create programs in a similar way to
using index registers.
Applicable Models: CJ2 (coming
soon)
Example 1:
D100[5]: Take D100 as the first address and add an offset of 5 words to
specify D105
Example 2:
10.00[5]: 10.00[5]: Take CIO 10.00 as the starting bit address and add an
offset of 5 bits to specify CIO 10.05
Example 3:
D100[W100]: Take D100 as the starting address and add the contents of W100
as the offset If the contents of W100 is &5, D105 is specified
Comprehensive Help for New CJ2 Instructions
Support is provided for tracking and sorting instructions, communications
instructions, and instructions for finding maximum or minimum
floating-point values.
Debugging
Comprehensive Debugging for Networks
Time Required for Onsite Startup and Debugging Has Been Significantly
Reduced
With CX-One version 3.0, debugging is efficient with simultaneously
monitoring and management of multiple networks and PLCs.
Management of Multiple Networks
The operation of networks with configurations consisting of multiple
networks including PLC networks such as EtherNet/IP and Controller Link,
field networks such as DeviceNet and CompoNet, and networks for
Programmable Terminals and Serial Devices, can be restored simultaneously
from the CX-One. Onsite start up and debugging can be conducted
efficiently and without errors because PLCs and devices can be selected
from the window to transfer programs and parameter data to the computer
during operation.
Ladder diagram Monitoring for Multiple PLCs
Multiple PLCs can be monitored by displaying them in series on the screen.
This way it is easy to debug data links between PLCs and monitor the
inputs and outputs of different PLCs.
Group Monitoring of Multiple PLC Input/Outputs in the Watch Window
The desired I/O data can be selected for multiple PLCs, such as input
bits, output bits, and word I/O data, and monitored simultaneously. There
are also functions such as the Binary Monitor and Forced Set/Reset
functions that enables graphical monitoring the ON/OFF status of word
data. All of these monitoring functions are easy to use.
Time Require for Debugging and Maintenance Has Been Reduced with the
Comprehensive Data Trace Function
Functionality and operability has been significantly upgraded compared to
the previous data trace function. The new data trace function provides
comprehensive debugging, such as I/O comment display of sampled addresses,
specification using symbols, checking the measurement time between two
selected points, and layering waveforms. Furthermore, data sampled from
the CPU Unit's trace memory can be saved to a file on the computer at a
specified frequency. This can be used as for long-term logging of data.
Simulation Debugging
Programs can be debugged using a computer without the actual PLC. A wide
range of languages, such as ladder diagram, sequential function charts (SFC),
structured text (ST), and programs within function blocks are supported.
Furthermore, programs can be edited online, bits can be forceset/reset,
breakpoints can be set, and a PLC error simulator can be used.
No Size Restrictions for Online Editing of Function Blocks and Sequential
Function Charts
There are no size restrictions for the function blocks and SFC that can be
edited online.
Applicable Models: CJ2 (coming
soon)

development stages.
Integrated Simulation with the PLC Ladder Diagrams
Test functions for the CX-Designer and CX-Programmer are linked through
the CX-Simulator on a computer. This enables screens and ladder diagrams
to be checked simultaneously, significantly improving the debugging
efficiency. A new Integrated Simulation Button has been added to the
CX-Programmer.
Furthermore, work efficiency has been significantly improved with the
function that enables work windows to be pinned in front, and a flexible
zoom function.
Screens and Ladder Diagrams Can Be Simultaneously Checked on a Computer
The Comprehensive Screen Designing Software Makes for Easy Creation of
Multifunction Screens
A Multifunction Object is a collection of the functions of various
objects. Multiple functions can be operated with a single press of a
button without using cumbersome macros. Setting Multifunction Objects is
