6-9 Trajexia Devices
Trajexia devices are part of Omron's range of Motion Controllers. Points are
addressed in a similar fashion to points on a PLC. To read or write table
memory use the prefix "T" followed by the address. For example to access
address 1000 in table memory, use the data location "T1000". VR memory is
addressed in a similar fashion, but with the prefix "VR". For example to read
address 500, the format is "VR500". If a point in VR memory is configured as
type "IEEE float" then all values will be rounded to integers, since the
communication protocol doesn't currently support floating point addressing of
this memory area.
The following example describes how to read and write Trajexia (TJ1) data in
a CX-Supervisor application. It assumes that both CX-Supervisor and the TJ1
driver are already installed on a user's PC.
Preparation:
Connect a TJ1 motion
controller to an Ethernet
network.
Setting up the points
1. Start CX-Supervisor .
2. Either create a new CX-Supervisor project, or open an existing project.
3. Use the toolbar to select the "Device Setup" dialog box and press the
Add… button.
4. Select "TJ1 Device" as the device type and give the device an appropriate
name. A network of "Ethernet" should be automatically selected.
5. Click the Settings button next to "Device Type", and then select the model
of the device you will be using.
