PART 3: CX-Server Runtime
CHAPTER 1 – Technical Specification OMRON
CX-Server Runtime_Page 2 Revision 2.0
Features
CX-Server is the corner stone of the suite of applications collectively known as the CX-Automation Suite. The
CX-Automation Suite is not one system but software that has been designed to dynamically evolve with every
direction a manufacturer would like to take and to accommodate any implementation, improvement, adaptation
or extension of any form of control or data acquisition in a manufacturing industry.
The software suite has been developed to serve you with powerful yet comprehensible software that builds and
runs networks that simply control one machine or an entire manufacturing process. It comprises the following:
♦
CX-Programmer
♦
CX-Server Lite
♦
CX-Server OPC
♦
CX-Protocol
♦
CX-Motion
♦
CX-Supervisor
The CX-Automation suite is in itself highly adaptive. It completes the integration of process control and
business information systems, by applying one and the same basic network architecture. For the user it means
that data from both sources of information can be jointly reported in familiar applications such as spreadsheets,
in which they can be recalculated in existing layouts or processed along usual spreadsheet procedures.
The architecture is based on standards that are widely maintained such as ActiveX and OPC (OLE for Process
Control) and standard interfaces such as COM, DCOM and ODBC/ADO This conformity also means that you
can use standard interfaces and standard software.
System Requirements
Refer System Requirements on page 3 in PART 1 CX-Programmer.
Use of a mouse is highly recommended, although all operations can be performed using the keyboard. Refer to
Appendix C for a list of keyboard shortcut commands.
The amount of RAM and hard disk space used depends upon the size of the PLC programs written –
approximately 1K per step.
Communications Requirements
In order to use serial communication types SYSMAC WAY and Toolbus the following is required:
♦
RS232 connection via a standard serial port on the PC (COM1 etc.) or RS422 connection to a 422 serial
board.
♦ In order to use SYSMAC LINK directly from the PC a SYSMAC LINK Network Service Board and
FinsGateway Version 3 or higher is required.
♦
In order to use Controller Link directly from the PC a Controller Link Network Service Board (wired or
optical) and FinsGateway Version 3 or higher are required.
♦
In order to use Ethernet an Ethernet card, Windows Sockets software and TCP/IP must be installed and
configured.
♦
In order to use an ISA board FinsGateway Version 3 or higher is required.
♦
Controller link PC NSB is supported using FinsGateway Version 3 or higher.
♦
SYSMAC LINK PC NSB is supported using FinsGateway Version 3 or higher.
In order to use FINSGateway with the CLK/SLK PCI board in the Windows 2000 operating system the
appropriate drivers must be installed. These drivers can be found on the CX-Server CD under:
CX-
Server\WDM\CLK (PCI)\ or CX-Server\WDM\SLK (PIC)\
Refer to Chapter 3- Communications for more information and the appropriate hardware system manuals for
full information about connecting and configuring these devices for the environment.
Note: The following network types cannot be run on Windows Vista or Windows 7.
- Controller Link for OMRON NSB. Controller Link
- SYSMAC LINK for OMRON NSB. SYSMAC LINK
- SYSMAC NET for OMRON NSB. SYSMAC NET
