CX-Profibus Features
CX-Profibus
The PROFIBUS Master Unit requires a configuration before it can exchange I/
O data with the slave devices. For this purpose OMRON provides the CX-
Profibus Configuration program, which runs under Microsoft Windows™ NT
4.0, Windows™ 2000 or Windows™ XP
Together with CX-Profibus, OMRON provides four DTM COM Objects:
• A DTM to configure the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP-V1 Master
• A DTM to configure the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP Master
• A DTM to configure the C200HW-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP Master
• A DTM to allow the handling of classic GSD files in CX-Profibus
The following provides a quick overview of the functions.
CX-Profibus FDT
Container Application
CX-Profibus provides an FDT environment in which DTMs can be executed.
The main function of CX-Profibus is to facilitate the DTMs and the data
exchange between them. It provides:
• Network setup functions: A tree view shows the relations between the
DTMs, i.e. the relation between the Master and slave devices.
• Device Catalogue functions: A Device Catalogue containing the installed
DTMs is maintained, to which the user can add new DTMs or delete them.
Device DTMs can be added to the network from this Catalogue.
• Project maintenance functions: CX-Profibus provides the functions to cre-
ate, save and open project files. It facilitates user access control, which
limits of use to authorized personnel only, using password protection.
• Additional functions: CX-Profibus provides additional functions like print-
ing, error logging, FDT Communication logging and help files.
CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 DTM
The two CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 DTMs provided to configure the CS1/CJ1W-
PRM21 PROFIBUS Master Units and the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS DP-
V1 Master Units both provide the same basic PROFIBUS DP functions. These
DTMs consist of three parts:
• The Settings DTM, which handles the configuration for the PROFIBUS
Master Unit. This includes the bus parameters settings, the I/O data map-
pings and Master specific settings. The Settings DTM provides its own
user interface.
• The Monitoring DTM, which handles the status monitoring and control
over the PROFIBUS Master Unit, when it is on-line and communicating
over the PROFIBUS network. It provides its own user interface to read out
Master status flags and Error log, as well as Slave status flags and the
Slave diagnostics messages received by the Unit. It also allows the user
to send Global-Control messages over the network and to change the
PROFIBUS Master Unit’s mode on the PROFIBUS network.
• The communication DTM, which provides the interface between the two
DTMs mentioned above and CX-Server. CX-Server, provided with the
CX-Profibus package, is the driver for communication between the PC
and the PLC CPU.
