CX-Server LITE is extremely simple to use, yet it is so feature-rich that complex operations such as uploading and downloading programs to PLCs can be developed quickly and easily. Simple as ABC so you can forget about code CX-Server LITE is an easy-to-use yet highly advanced software development package that enables you to build your own applications to read and write data to Omron devices, without the need to write a single line of computer code. You can build applications for both simple and complex operations, all the time using straightforward and intuitive graphical ActiveX controls. An automation interface allows interfacing to any third party ActiveX control. CX-Server Lite comes complete CX-Server OPC uses OPC Foundation’s standard set of interfaces, allowing total freedom in the selection of visualisation software, while being able to rely on Omron’s fast and reliable communication protocols. Plug&Play is a reality, ensuring seamless communication between hardware and software from different vendors and enabling efficient integration across even the most complex process. with sample applications for use with Microsoft Excel, Visual Basic and .NET. Everything you need, in one package • Read and write to memory • Read device mode • Clock read and write • Program download and upload • Send raw FINS protocol message Simple, straightforward, step-by-step A – Drag ‘n’ drop CX-Server LITE As advanced as e = mc2 Where you can forget about protocols Re-use symbols from CX-Programmer CX-Server LITE is packed with functionality, but is so easy B – Drag ‘n’ drop a graphical component Link to your symbols to use that you can develop your own complex applications really quickly, to support all Omron devices and networks. You can upload and download the PLC program from your own C – Run your project software, and easily communicate with Omron PLCs, Trajexia, That’s it, no further settings required! CelciuX or ZS sensors over any Omron supported network. CX-Server LITE automatically connects to your data Best of all, there’s no need to waste time writing code and developing protocols or network drivers: you just embed the .NET object in your software. Simple as that. CX-Server OPC Communicate and control – easily Adaptable to every change in your environment CX-Server OPC gives you total freedom in the selection • Increased flexibility, reduced costs, complete freedom of visualization software, while ensuring total connectivity and • Eliminate the barriers between different software interoperability between devices, whatever the manufacturer, whatever the hardware, whatever the software. The system comes complete with a set of graphical ActiveX controls to make it easy to work intuitively in Excel or Visual Basic: and hardware • Graphical components included to simplify development • Fully compliant with the OPC Data Access specification v1.0 and v2.0 a toolbar is added to Microsoft Excel so that these • Plug&Play connectivity is here and now components can be simply dragged into a work sheet. Yet for all this simplicity, CX-Server OPC has the sophistication to allow the design of systems to control everything from a device to a complete manufacturing plant.

This makes it ideal for applications where in-built redundancy protects against malfunction or damage. This redundancy is further enhanced by PLC function blocks that enable two PLCs to decide which is active and which is on standby – with no intervention from the user. A sample function-block included in CX-Server OPC can be added to a PLC program to deliver the redundancy feature. Each PLC has two network connections which are tried in turn before fail-over happens. CX-Server OPC automatically switches communications without data loss, making it ideal for applications requiring redundancy, such as the marine industry. About OPC OPC is a standard published by the OPC Foundation. It enables suppliers of industrial-control hardware to produce drivers (called OPC Servers) and visualization software vendors such as SCADA to produce applications (called OPC Clients) that use a standard methodology for data exchange. In turn, this allows hardware and software from different vendors to be used together. For more information on OPC, see the OPC Foundation website at www.opcfoundation.org. Available Products Indicator Description CX-LITE-EV CD CX-Server LITE single licence* CX-OPC-EV CD CX-Server OPC single licence* * multi licence sheets are available on special request.

Open or Close the connection with each device to reduce network bandwidth use. Change the run mode of your PLC. Check if there is a suspected problem with the communications by checking the ‘quality’ Check the status of your device Change the settings for a device Upload or download programs and function blocks to your PLC. Get and set the current PLC clock time. Send raw FINS messages to the device – allowing you to perform complex operations on device using FINs.

CX-Server OPC has been tested and is currently used with many leading SCADA packages Support for Redundant PLCs Any PLC supporting function blocks and Ethernet can have an identical partner configured CJ series CS series CP series Support for Redundant Networks CX-Server OPC supports Ethernet networks for redundant configurations. Each network for the each device can be configured with a secondary network Together with the device redundancy this can allow up to 4 levels of redundancy. PLCs configured as a redundant pair will both write to the device network so the device network must be able to handle this. ProfiNet is the recommended network for this.
