Features
Data Management and
Editing in Project Units The CX-Motion-NCF manages data for several Position Control Units as one
project. Position Control Units are displayed under a PLC and several Servo
Drives (CS1W-NCF71/CJ1W-NCF71: 16 axes max., CS1W-NC471/CJ1W-
NC471: 16 axes max., CS1W-NC271/CJ1W-NC271: 16 axes max.) are dis-
played under a Position Control Unit, both in tree format.
Communications with
Position Control Units via
Networks The CX-Motion-NCF communicates with Position Control Units using CX-
Server.
Host Link (SYSMAC WAY) or peripheral bus (Toolbus) can be used to perform
online operations (transferring, comparing, and monitoring parameter data)
with the Position Control Unit on the PLC.
Editing Servo Parameters Parameters of Servo Drives connected to a Position Control Unit can be
edited using the CX-Motion-NCF.
