CX-ConfiguratorFDT
Omron CX-ConfiguratorFDT is the versatile network configuration tool for networks such as PROFIBUS
and PROFINET. It is based on FDT/DTM technology. CX-ConfiguratorFDT is Omron’s standalone FDT-
container. For the various networks Omron provides device specific DTM’s.
To configure PROFINET, Omron delivers three different DTM’s:
1
CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET IO Controller DTM
This DTM is used to configure the IO Controller to perform data-exchange and to set up the
memory locations for the I/O data-exchange. Furthermore, the DTM provides online diagnostics
functions.
2
GRT1-PNT SmartSlice PROFINET IO Device DTM
This DTM is used to configure the GRT1-PNT SmartSlice system. The type and number of units
inserted in the SmartSlice system can be configured. This defines the amount of I/O data that is
exchanged with the PROFINET IO Controller. All parameters of the SmartSlice buscoupler and
the separate SmartSlice units are directly accessible.
3
Generic IO Device DTM
This DTM interprets standard PROFINET IO GSDML files. The DTM can only be used to config-
ure the I/O Data exchange between the PROFINET IO Controller and PROFINET IO Devices.
The DTM only contains very limited online diagnostics functions and online parameter setup is
not possible.
This section provides information about the use of the CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET IO Controller DTM
and the Generic I/O Device DTM. For the use of the GRT1-PNT SmartSlice PROFINET IO Device DTM
please refer to the
SmartSlice GRT1-Series PROFINET IO Communication Unit Operation Manual
(W13E-EN-

).
Select Program, OMRON, and CX-ConfiguratorFDT from the Start Menu if the default program folder
name is used. The first time CX-ConfiguratorFDT is started, the Device Catalog will still be empty.
Therefore, the following dialog will be displayed on top of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window.
Select
Yes
to generate the Device Catalogue for the first time. This action may take several minutes
depending on the number of installed DTMs.
After updating the Device Catalogue, it will open in the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window.
