1-1 What Is the CX-Simulator?
1-1-1 Summary
The CX-Simulator emulates the operation of the CS/CJ/CP-series CPU Unit
(see note 1) or the Controller Section of the NSJ Controller (see note 2) to the
computer, providing an equivalent development environment to that of an
actual PLC system only with software. Furthermore, various debugging func-
tions and tools that are not available in the actual PLC allow more effective
development and debugging.
Note
1. In this manual, always assume that "CS/CJ-series PLC" also implies
CP-series PLCs unless otherwise specified. When performing simulations
for a CP-series PLC, use the instructions for the CS/CJ-series PLC.
Functions not supported by CP-series PLCs, however, cannot be simu-
lated.
2. In this manual, always assume that "CJ-series PLC" also implies the Con-
troller Section of an NSJ-series NSJ Controller unless otherwise specified.
When performing simulations for the Controller Section of the NSJ
Controller, use the instructions for the CJ-series PLC.
3. Emulation for units other than network communications units and Serial
Communications Boards/Units is not available. They are registered only
for calculating the I/O refresh time and peripheral servicing time.
CX-Simulator is used internally to simulate execution of ladder programs
or function blocks (ladder programs or ST) on CX-Programmer Ver. 6.1 or
higher.
4. The CX-Simulator does not support all of the instructions of the CPU Units.
Refer to
1-6 Comparison of the CX-Simulator and SYSMAC CS/CJ-series
PLCs
for details.
The CX-Simulator runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7.
The CX-Simulator can execute the following operation by downloading pro-
grams from the CX-Programmer on the same computer to the virtual CPU Unit
and by driving the virtual CPU Unit without connecting with the actual
CS/CJ-series PLC.

1. Debug programs with virtual external inputs to the virtual CPU Unit using
the Virtual External Input Tool or the Debugging Program.
2. Use various debugging functions such as address execution and break
point setting that are not available in CS/CJ-series PLCs.
3. Simulate the cycle time, enabling to simulate the CPU Unit without an
actual PLC.
4. Debug functions of network/serial communications.
