ProWORX NxT

Reduced development time and effort

With the Network Editor, ProWORX NxT reduces development time by usingthe same commands and instructions for every controller. Simply cut, copy,and paste networks from one platform to any other!

Real-time network status

Find the controller you need fast and simplify network diagnostics withProWORX NxT’s powerful Network Scan feature. Network Scan searchesyour Modbus or Modbus Plus networks, then identifies and graphically dis-plays each device found and shows its status.

Advanced I/O management

Ensure that the I/O card you are configuring in the software matches the oneon your plant floor with Pro WORX NxT’s graphical Traffic Cop. It displays I/Ocards on your screen the same way they look in real life, eliminating all confu-sion. To place a card, just select it from the convenient drop down menu andthen drag it into the controller slot you want. To save even more time, theTraffic Cop automatically associates the card’s I/O points with with a block offree addresses in your controller.

Once configured, manage your I/O with NxT’s complete documentation tools,with references for each head, drop, rack, slot and address. And the TrafficCop’s graphical display shows you at a glance that your I/O is healthy.

Easy Subsystem Configuration

Using the new Wizards now included within Nxt, the user is stepped throughcomplicated communications configuration with ease. The Peer Cop wizardguides the user through the method of Modbus Plus Peer Cop transactionand creates the configuration extension while doing so. The same can besaid for the Ethernet I/O Scanner wizard, whereby the user enjoys theuncomplicated configuration of Ethernet communication between twoPLC’s in a straight forward manner.

ProWORX NxT

Intuitive register editor

A powerful analysis tool, the Data Watch Window shows you information fromyour plant in real-time, or logs it to disk for in-depth historical analysis later on.Easily get the data you need to make informed, effective production deci-sions. View and edit data in full page display, see trends and track datapoints against time in a spreadsheet, and monitor any combinations ofdiscretes and analogs.

Windows environment

The familiar Windows-based programming environment means you spendless time learning how to do things, and more time actually being productive.

I/O drawing generator

Save hours of painstaking effort with ProWORX NxT’s I/O Drawing Gen-erator, which can automatically create wiring diagrams for the I/O cardsdefined in the Traffic Cop. Generate the drawings you need all at once orjust one card at a time – simply select an address the I/O card uses withthe Network Editor, then click the drawing button on the Hardware-BackReferencing panel. NxT displays the diagram, and if you want, saves itas an AUTOCAD-compatible .DXF file or prints it.
