PLCs and Projects
A project file contains one or more PLCs that are (potentially) connected to the computer. These PLCs do not
really have to be connected unless communications with them are to occur. A full description of the
communications possibilities for C-series PLCs, CV-series PLCs and CS/CJ-series PLCs is provided in the
CX-
Server PLC Tools
User Manual
.
The PLCs selected also affect which setup procedures need to be performed. For example, the CV-series and
CS/CJ-series require setting up the IO Table via the IO Table object in the project workspace and using the PLC
settings object to establish specific PLC characteristics.
Connection to the PLC requires the specification of the type of communications interface to be used to connect
to the PLC. Two methods of communication are available: serial communications and network communications.
Serial and network communications can be made using communication types although these are dependent upon
the type of communicating PLC.
Adding a PLC to the Project
CX-Programmer supports multiple PLC and multiple program support. When a project is initially configured, it
contains one PLC and one program. Additional PLCs and programs can be added.
Use the following procedure to add a PLC to a project.
1, 2, 3…
1. Select the Project object in the project workspace.
2. From
the
Insert
menu select
PLC
or right click on the project folder and select
Insert
PLC
. The Change PLC dialogue is displayed, part of the CX-Server application.
3. Set up the PLC as required. Refer to the
CX-Server PLC Tools User Manual
for further
information.
The project workspace is updated with a new PLC entry plus its associated global symbol table, IO Table,
Settings, Memory data and Program where applicable. An empty Ladder program is also displayed in the
Diagram Workspace.
The initial project, program and PLC settings are made whilst the PLC is offline. In order to test the program,
examine memory or monitor PLC operations, communications must first be established with the PLC. Refer to
Chapter - 4 Working On-line.
Changing a PLC in a Project
To change a PLC, double-click on the PLC object in the project workspace. The Change PLC dialogue is
displayed. Refer to the
CX-Server PLC Tools User Manual
for further information.
