Compatibility
The CX-Designer is so easy-to-use that anyone can
master it, without even designing screens and ladder
programs. You can create the desired screens quickly
and with OMRON's integrated development environ-
ment, you can dramatically reduce the time required to
design screens.

Program the PLC and Create PT Screens Using the Same Data Structures
Transfer of Ladder Programs and Screens without Changing the USB Cable Connection
Easy Transfer and Editing of Screens and Ladder Programs Using USB
Transfer ladder program data to the PLC via the PT simply by connecting a computer to the USB port
on the PT.
Transfer ladder data and perform online editing using USB via the PT even for a PLC that does not
have a USB port.
This special feature is made possible by combining an OMRON CJ2 PLC with an NS-series PT.
The data structures that you define on the CX-Programmer can be used on the CX-Designer simply by
dragging and dropping them.
Note:
An EtherNet/IP connection is required. CX-Designer version 3.2 or higher is required. NS system version 8.4 or higher is required.

What is data structure?
FROM
Data which is made of plural types of variables and treated as one data type.
TO
By using data structure, variables that have the same
data structure can be easily reused.

USB cable
Using a USB relay cable greatly
improves debugging at equipment
startup.
• Debug screens and ladder
programs with only one
commercially available USB
cable.
• Use a USB relay cable to
enable performing maintenance
from in front of the control panel.
CX-Programmer
If a CJ-series PLC is used, screens can be transferred to the PT by connecting the computer and the
PLC using a USB cable.
Screens can be transferred through the PLC simply by setting the communications path to USB
between the computer and the PLC in the transfer settings for the CX-Designer.
Note:
CX-Programmer version 8.2 and higher support automatic online connection via the PT. NS system version 8.2 or higher is required.
Easy Automatic Connection
PLC Connection via PT
A search is automatically made for the PLCs connected to the PT and the results are displayed using
the automatic online connection function in the CX-Programmer.
Just select a PLC from the list to connect. This function is also supported for PLCs over network layers.
CX-Programmer
PLCs registered to the PT are automatically searched for.
Make the connection simply by selecting from the PLC list.
Units for data Elements in the data structure
NS with LED backlight
LED backlight is newly installed for NS5 color-type models (SQ/TQ models)*
*LotNo.15Z0 or later
LED backlight allows backlight brightness adjustment of up to 32 levels.
The brightness can be adjusted from the operation screens; it is favorable for ship and vessel applications
