Program Properties
The Program Properties dialogue allows a PLC name to be entered or amended and for tasking PLCs, allows
their tasking type to be defined (CS/CJ-series PLCs only). The icon to the left of the project workspace changes
according to the task type selected. Cyclic tasks represent the main program. The task can also be set to start on
start-up of the PLC.
Use the following procedure to change properties for a program at any time.

Using Microsoft Windows Features in CX-Programmer
Standard Microsoft Windows procedures can be used within the CX-Programmer environment.
Opening and Saving Projects
Maintaining project files on disk is achieved in the same way as in other Microsoft Windows applications.
Various types of file are used for CX-Programmer projects:
♦
‘.CXP’
. The project file itself;
♦
‘.OPT’
. A file containing the preferences for the project;
♦
‘.BAK’
. A backup copy of the project file;
♦
‘.CXT’
. A text-based format supported by CX-Programmer for both opening and saving. The .CXT file
format is used for file conversions.
♦
‘.MAC’
. A file containing the keyboard mapping made on the Keyboard Mapping (Shortcut Keys) dialogue.
♦
‘.CXO’
. A file containing the settings made on the Options dialogue and the Watch window.
Opening and saving operations are similar to other Microsoft Windows applications; however, each time an
existing project is opened it is recompiled (a progress marker is displayed during this loading and compilation
process).
Note:
LSS, project files require conversion to the correct format and must be imported via the File
Conversion tool; refer to
Chapter 5 - Advanced Topics
for further information.

SYSWIN/CVSS/SSS/CPT File Loading
SYSWIN, CVSS, SSS, CPT project and library files can be directly opened from within CX-Programmer, by
choosing the file types of ‘.SWP’ or ‘.SWL’, ‘.COD’, ‘.SP1’ and ‘.CPT’ respectively in the ‘File Open’
dialogue. In each case, a ‘.CXT’ file is created in the same location as the original file, and CX-Programmer
opens this.
