1 channel

System Configuration with CS1W-MC421/221

Used for 
testruns, 
debugging, 
teaching, etc.

Provides the ideal environment for motion control support, from motion controller  
program development to full system operation.

The CX-Motion software can be used to create, edit, and print the various parameters, position data, and motion 
control programs (G code) required to operate Motion Controllers, transfer the data to the Motion Control Units, and 
monitor operation of the Motion Control Units. Increase productivity in every step of the motion control process, 
from development of the motion control program to system operation.

● 

When the Unit is connected online, data can be transferred,verified, and 

saved.

● 

Data for different Units can be registered and managed as separate pro-

jects.

Specifications

Create/transfer/print various parameters, position data, and the 
MC program, transfer data to the MC Unit, and monitor MC 
Unit’s operating status.

Automatic loading, Servo data tracing

CX-Motion project files (*.mci) Contents: System parameters, 
position data, program, scripts, etc.

The MC Unit Monitoring function can display vital information at the compu-
ter, such as the present position, task being executed, I/O status, error dis-

plays, and servo system trace data.

● 

Up to 20 errors that have occurred in the Motion Control Unit can be sto-

red and displayed (CS1W-MC421/221 and CV500-MC421/221 Motion 
Control Units only).

Powerful support during startup and operation

Various programs and position data can be stored on disks for the 
computer running the CX-motion software and the required 
program/position data can be substituted into the Motion Control Unit when 
necessary. More than 100 different application programs can be used in 
this way. A wide variety of programs can be available for execution if the 
computer is used to storedata for the MC Unit.

CX-Motion can create all of the data needed in the Motion Control Unit, 
such as parameters, position data, and the program. The program can be 
input in either G code or mnemonics.

Either ABS or INC 
encoders can be used.

Used for fine 
positioning 
during 
teaching, etc.

Note:

 A data backup battery is required when an ABS encoderis used.
