Omron's new CX-Supervisor

February 2010 SCADA/HMI

Offering more features for less investment.

CX-Supervisor is Omron’s PC-based visualisation software package. It is geared towards machine visualisation and is comparable with a small to medium power scada product. The software is known for its full visualisation, ease-of-use, its instant overviews and its advanced functionality. The enhanced CX-Supervisor V3 is more powerful, more versatile and even more convenient to use.

CX-Supervisor version 3 is a major product update which includes a number of improved features designed to save time while enhancing the machine visualisation experience. These include:

* Easier, faster fine-tuning.

* Improved data log viewer.

* Improved graphics capability.

* Extended graphics library.

* One-click simulation.

* Remote maintenance through web pages.

* Improved communications flexibility.

* New .Net interface to allow full control of an application using .Net.

* Complete multivendor compatibility via OPC.

The easier, faster fine-tuning enables quick and easy comparison of process parameters from one week to the next. This helps users to identify the optimal setup for a production line.

Smart graphics facilitates the easy creation of objects that include actions, animations and associated points. Users can create a virtual machine that looks just like the yet-to-be-built one from a graphics library containing over 3000 objects ranging from tanks, pipes and pumps through to PLCs.

One-click simulation enables the application to be instantaneously tested with a single click of the mouse. Time and money is saved as users can test an application using a simulation of the PLC without having to make a machine available.

The remote maintenance feature offers the convenience of monitoring the status of an application from anywhere using a web browser.

Multivendor compatibility via OPC is designed specifically for PC-based machine visualisation. The CX-Supervisor V3 communicates with a wide range of cutting-edge devices enabling users to communicate with anything they may currently have in their machines.

Tailored to suit most requirements, two versions are available:

Supervisor Machine Edition

This package is flexible and powerful enough to control and supervise a complete machine or an entire process; it is perfect for almost all visualisation requirements. It supports a connection of up to 15 devices and up to 500 user-defined points. Making use of a Windows explorer style environment this package allows advanced graphic interfaces to look simple and easy to use.

Supervisor Plus

The Plus version shares the same power and features as the Machine Edition, but is used in the exceptional cases where the application demands a higher number of devices or points that can be handled by the CX-Supervisor V3 Machine Edition version.
