Note 3: Storing the Parameter Settings Data File
•
The data set in the Edit Parameters Dialog Box can be saved in a parameter settings
file with a .xml filename extension. To save the parameter settings, right-click the
desired Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit in the I/O table and select
Save
Parameters from the pop-up menu.
•
The saved parameter settings can also be read from a parameter settings file (.xml
filename extension), but the settings must be for the same model Special I/O Unit or
CPU Bus Unit.
Note 4:
Contents of Parameter Settings Data Files
The structure of a parameter settings data file is based on the parameter settings in the
CPS file. Parameter settings data files contain the following data:
•
Model number, Unit version number, unit number, rack number, and slot number
•
Name of the original CPS file used to create the parameter settings data
•
Parameter names and data
Note 5: When Special I/O Unit or CPU Unit settings are performed in the I/O Table Window
and then transferred from the PLC Memory Window, the following warning will be
displayed if the allocated DM Area/CIO Area addresses set for Special I/O Units or
CPU Bus Units in the I/O Table Window on the computer overlap with the PLC data
table addresses.
Unless the CPU Bus Unit or Special I/O Unit settings have been previously transferred
to the CPU Unit and the allocated DM Area/CIO Area data in the PLC data table for
Special I/O Units or CPU Bus Units is to be overwritten, always click the No Button,
shift the address, and repeat the transfer procedure.
Note 6: CPU Bus Unit and Special I/O Unit settings are not checked for logical consistency. Be
very careful of the logical consisting of the overall settings when making any setting
that affects other settings, e.g., settings that enable or disable other settings. Transfer
the Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit settings to the PLC and then start operation,
being aware that any logical inconsistencies may produce unexpected operation. For
example, if one setting selects either user settings or default settings and is set to use the
default settings, it will not automatically change to enable user settings even if the
related user settings are made. To use the user settings, they will have to be enabled
manually and specifically in the setting that selects either user settings or default
settings.
Note 7: If Create I/O Table is selected when setting Special I/O Units or CPU Bus Units in the
I/O Table Window, the settings in the Special I/O Units or CPU Bus Units on the
computer will be initialized. To maintain the same settings, save the Special I/O Unit or
CPU Bus Unit settings to a file by right-clicking the Unit in the I/O table and selecting
Save Parameters from the pop-up menu. Then, after creating the I/O tables, read the
settings back from the file by right-clicking the Unit in the I/O table and selecting Load
Parameters from the pop-up menu.
Installing a CPS File
CPS files are automatically installed in the following directory when CX-One or CX-Programmer is installed. A
CPS file is created for each unit version of each Special I/O Unit and CPU Bus Unit.
Program Files\Common Files\Omron\Profiles\CPSFiles
The CX-Programmer uses the CPS File for the most recent unit version. If a backup indicates that a newer unit
version exists, the newer version’s CPS file must be installed. Use the following procedure to install the new CPU
File.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select File – CPS Install . The Installation of Cps files Dialog Box will be displayed.
