Snap mounting eases sensor installation
The novel mounting system used with E3FZ sensors completely eliminates the need for nuts and screws.
Predeveloped and pretested, function blocks allow users to increase machine flexibility while significantly reducing PLC programming time.
By providing simple drag-and-drop programming, these blocks make it easy to add complex functionality to a machine without incurring any programming overhead, and without the associated testing time.
Predeveloped functions including monitoring of network connections, monitoring the status of sensors on remote I/O, setting and operating motion control axes, and setting and operating Omron smart sensors, safety controllers and temperature controllers.
And Omron is continually expanding this library of function blocks.
Features such as the function blocks and the ability to use multiple programming languages make CX-Programmer one of the most intuitive PLC programming packages available.
Even users with minimal PLC programming experience can begin to build powerful projects and applications right from the word go.
CX-Programmer is suitable for use with the full range of Omron PLCs, including the very latest CS1 and CJ1 CPUs, and offers backwards compatibility with previous Omron software packages, protecting investment in legacy systems. Request a free brochure from Omron Electronics ...
