Features of the CX-Designer
Section 1-1
Functional Object
Property Settings Using
Property Lists
Functional object settings can be changed and checked without having to
open a dialog box.
When more than one object is selected, common settings for those objects
can be changed in one operation from the property list.
Refer to
4-4 Checking and Changing Functional Object Properties without
Opening Property Setting Dialog Boxes.
Edit Properties from Lists
Properties of objects on the screen can be displayed in table format and the
settings changed.
Settings for more than one object can be changed at the same time and con-
secutive addresses can be automatically set.
Refer to
4-5 Listing and Editing Functional Object Properties
for details.
Select and Display
Specified Objects
Objects on the screen can be listed and specified objects selected. The
screen display can also be limited to specified objects.
This makes it easy to check and change the property settings for overlapping
objects.
Refer to
4-6 Editing Overlapping Objects
for details.
Find Macros
Embedded macros can be listed.
This improves debugging efficiency by no longer requiring individual object
property settings to be opened to find objects that use macros.
Refer to
4-9 Searching for Embedded Macros
for details.
Automatic Transfer of
Edited Data Only
Once screens have been transferred to the PT, quick transfers of only the
changed data can be made automatically. Screens are edited and data trans-
ferred many times during debugging, so the quick transfer function greatly
reduces transfer time and increases efficiency.
Refer to
4-10 Transferring Only Edited Data to PT
for details.
Easy Document Creation
Common settings and property settings for objects in screens can be output in
rich text format (.rtf). The output settings are displayed in a list for easier view-
ing.
Screen images can also be output to bmp and jpg files.
Refer to
4-11 Creating Documents
for details.
Integrated Simulation for
Entire PT-PLC System
(CX-Designer Version 2.0
and Higher)
The CX-Designer test function can be connected to the CX-Simulator (a vir-
tual PLC). When the CX-Simulator is started, the PLC user program created
using the CX-Programmer can be debugged on a personal computer together
with screen data.
