To change a device within a CX-Server project, select the
Change Device
option from the
Project
menu. The
Change PLC dialogue is displayed.
Editing a Device List
The Device List dialogue, (see Runtime User manual)
can be used to change the settings of the PLCs in the
currently opened CX-Server project, and to add new PLCs.
The CX-Server project Device List can only be edited when a device is not currently open – the option is
disabled when a connection is active.
Select the
Edit Project
button from the toolbar to edit a CX-Server project, or select the Edit
option from the Project menu.
PLC Settings
The
PLC
menu contains options that operate on a single PLC device within the open CX-Server project,
including the setup of its units. It also contains the options for opening and closing a PLC device.
Opening a PLC
A PLC can be opened for communications once the associated CX-Server project file has been opened. Use
the following procedure to open a PLC.
1, 2, 3…
1.
Select a device from the
PLC Devices
list. If required, add a device to the CX-Server
project by selecting
Add Device
from the
Project
menu and edit the CX-Server project by
selecting the
Edit Project
button from the toolbar.
2.
Select the
Open / Project Device
button from the toolbar.
Note:
The
Open
option does
not
become available until a device name has been selected
from the Project Devices list.
It may take several seconds to establish a connection. If a connection cannot be made with the PLC's settings,
then a message appears showing this. In this case it may be necessary to change the PLC's settings before
trying again, or checking that the physical connection (e.g. wiring) is possible.
For SYSMAC LINK end connections a new
SYSMAC LINK
menu is added allowing specific SYSMAC LINK
network operation.
For Controller Link end connections a new
Controller Link
menu is added allowing specific Controller Link
network operation.
When a physical connection has been made the status of the PLC in the status bar changes to
Online
with the
current mode of the PLC. The connection lines change colour to green to also denote the PLC is online. In
addition, the
actual
values for
Node
and
Network
are displayed, together with details of the device actually
connected (rather than what is defined in the CX-Server project for that setting). When a connection is made to
an Ethernet network the Node box changes to a drop-down list, allowing the node to be changed in order to
connect to a new PLC. If a node is selected but there is nothing there, then no information is shown.
Returning to offline operation causes a return to the original (CX-Server project) configuration settings in the
Node
and
Network
fields.
Upon connection, certain menu options are made available, depending upon the connection type.
The current operating mode (Run) of the connected PLC is shown in the status bar of the tool – when making a
connection, or when a connection is broken, the mode indicator shows
Unknown
. The indicator shows
Run
,
Stop
or
Monitor
when a connection is properly completed. CV-series PLCs also support a
Debug
mode. This
mode indicator changes whenever a change is made in the operating mode of the PLC.
Note:
The mode in which the PLC runs on startup is set in the PLC Setup Component, refer
to PLC Setup Component.
Closing a PLC
The
Open / Project Device
button on the toolbar acts as a toggle switch. To close a device,
simply reselect the
Open / Project Device
button on the toolbar (i.e. when the menu option
