Omron offers two HMI software packages for machine
visualisation: CX-Supervisor, an open HMI software package
for advanced machine visualisation and NS-Runtime software
for standard HMI visualisation together with NS-series HMI.
CX-Supervisor
CX-Supervisor is a powerful and advanced software package
for machine visualisation that offers a totally flexible,
PC-based, HMI environment. Feature rich and with the
functionality you would only expect with much more expensive
packages, CX-Supervisor is not only suitable for designing
simple applications involving small supervisory and control
tasks, it also enables you to design even the most
sophisticated applications.
CX-Supervisor has the flexibility and compatibility to
communicate with a whole range of cutting-edge plus older
devices, including Omron’s entire PLC range, motion devices,
temperature controllers and sensors. Moreover, future
compatibility with new devices is assured with Omron’s
‘One Connection’ Smart Platform architecture.
NS-Runtime
NS-Runtime provides functions equivalent to the NS Series,
and enables you to display information and perform
operations for a complete production line. NS-Runtime will run
the NS project, created with CX-Designer, in full-screen mode.
Beside the existing NS functionality, NS-Runtime also provides
some additional functions. For instance, data can be logged
through background processing, with up to 160,000 points
stored in one file. The display document function makes it
possible to show documents (e.g. PDF file) in the screen itself,
which is useful for maintenance instructions or reporting.
Moreover, you can start any user application from NS-Runtime
by simply clicking a button.
