[Solved] CX-Supervisor Developer - no PLC point data when testing runtime

3 posts in this topic

I'm an experienced PLC / HMI developer but not very familiar with CX-Supervisor.

I'm modifying a program with CX-Supervisor Version 3.41 and all is well until I try to test it. The runtime builds and starts but the PLC point data is all zeros.

I'm developing on my laptop, plugged into the machine network where the HMI is running the previous program version.

  • Can my modified program talk to the NX701 PLC while the HMI is talking too?
  • Is there some trick to starting the Developer Runtime that I'm missing?

Many thanks.

Well... have you mapped the points to the NX701 global variables?
The variables must be set to be Published in the Sysmac Studio, and you need to run Sysmac Gateway software in the same computer so CX-Supervisor can find it (should come along with the installation of CX-Supervisor)

Having another HMI connecting to the said PLC won't be an issue.

I hadn't realised that I needed to run the SYSMAC Gateway. That solved it.

Many thanks.
