2-1-6 Converting Data from CX-Process Monitor
The following procedure can be used to convert data from the CX-Process
Monitor for use with the CX-Process Monitor Plus.
Check the Version of the
CX-Process Monitor. Check the version of the CX-Process Monitor currently installed on the com-
puter.
Reset CX-Process Monitor
Tags Set with CX-Process
Tool as Tags for Monitor
Plus. Monitor tags used on the CX-Process Monitor cannot be used on the CX-Pro-
cess Monitor Plus. The following procedure must thus be used to reset all of
the CX-Process Monitor tags set with CX-Process Tool as tags for Monitor
Plus. If the same tag names as used for the CX-Process Monitor tags are
used for the CX-Process Monitor Plus, the work required in the last step of
this data conversion procedure can be minimized.
1,2,3... 1. Display a monitor tag list on the CX-Process Tool ( Execute – Output Tag
File – Monitor Tags ) and confirm the monitor tags that are being used.
2. Register the function blocks for data exchange with the CX-Process Mon-
itor Plus that correspond to the function blocks for data exchange with the
CX-Process Monitor.
3. For all of the tags set in the function blocks for data exchange with the CX-
Process Monitor, set corresponding tags in the function blocks for data ex-
change with the CX-Process Monitor Plus.
4. Output the tag file for Monitor Plus ( Execute – Output Tag File – Monitor
Plus Tag ).
Move the CX-Process
Monitor Database Move the CX-Process Monitor Database from the folder (see note) where CX-
Process Monitor data is saved to another folder on the computer.
