What is CX-Motion-NCF?
Section 1-1
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.
Displaying Error
Information
Information on the error that is currently occurring on a Position Control Unit
or the error log can be displayed.
Applicable
Computers
Refer to the
CX-One Ver. 3.0 Setup Manual
(Cat. No. W463) for the computer
system requirements for the CX-Motion-NCF.
CX-Motion-NCF Data
The CX-Motion-NCF is used to create project files with the configuration
shown below. The file extension for project files is .mnf.
Software Structure
The CX-Motion-NCF exchanges data (online communications) with Position
Control Units via CX-Server. In order to execute functions online, CX-Server
must be installed on the same computer that has the CX-Motion-NCF
installed.
