Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS

Simply specify the CSV tag file created using the CX-Process Tool to automatically create a project constructed with a Face Plate for Loop-control CPU Units for use with OMRON's NS-series Programmable Terminals.

Function Overview

Create windows for monitoring and tuning PID and other function blocks for up to 100 loops (NS System version 4 or higher).

NS project files for monitoring multiple Loop-control CPU Units from a single NS-series PT can be generated from CX-Process projects for up to 32 multiple nodes.

When a Segment Program 2 or 3 function block is used for program operation, the Detailed Setting Windows (Time Interval vs. Output Value Setting Window, Wait Interval Setting Window) used for the parameter settings are also automatically generated.

NS-Runtime is supported.
