1-1 Introduction
1-1-1 What Is the CX-Drive?
The CX-Drive is a software application that enables 1) setting, downloading,
uploading, and comparing parameters, 2) test runs and tuning, and 3) moni-
toring and data tracing for Inverters and Servos.
1-1-2 Features
Supports Most
OMRON Inverters and
Servos
The CX-Drive can be used with OMRON's 3G3JV, 3G3MV, and 3G3RV Invert-
ers, as well as OMRON's SMARTSTEP, W-series, and MECHATROLINK-II-
compliant (see note) W-series Servo Drives.
Wide Range of
Parameter Editing
Functions
Easy and Dependable
Parameter Editing for
Inverters and Servos Inverter and Servo parameters can be edited using parameter numbers or by
category. Parameter editing tables show parameter ID numbers, descriptions,
units, default values, and ranges in the same way as in the Servo manuals.
Parameters can be set using pull-down menus or by typing in settings.
Parameter settings can be easily reviewed because setting status (e.g., modi-
fied, warning, default, or disabled) is shown for each parameter to avoid set-
ting mistakes.
Easily Check Drive
Parameters and Upload/
Download Only Selected
Parameters When connected online, you can easily display drive parameters by using a
comparison function. Also, the selected parameters can be downloaded to or
uploaded from the drive as required.
Edit Parameters in
Graphic Form Inverter parameters, such as V/F profiles and jump frequencies, can be dis-
played in graphic charts.
Display Parameters in
Diagrams Drive parameters can be displayed in diagrams, such as PID diagrams or
position/speed/torque block diagrams.
Automatically Detect
Drives
The connected drives can be detected automatically and displayed in a list
without setting model numbers or connection types. Just select a drive to add
it to the Workspace.
