CX- Integrator and Network Configurator

[Abdul Wajid]

Hi..... Can anyone tell the exact difference between the CX-Integrator and Network Configurator, if possible with an example? Can we use it alternatively for any application?

Thanks

[Michael Walsh]

They are not interchangeable.  CX-Integrator is for configuring Omron networks and setting FINS routing tables.  Network Configurator is for setting up DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP.  There is a little overlap when it comes to DeviceNet, but I think that is the extent of the overlap.

Thanks Michael for response..... One more thing regarding CX- ConfiguratorFDT which is used for Profibus configuration. Related to networking, Is CX- Configurator has any combination of both Cx-integrator & Network configurator which seems by the name of the software?

Thanks

No, it is not a combination.  As you mentioned, it is for Profibus as well as IO Link.  It does show EtherNet/IP, but that is only to get to the IO Link modules that convert from EtherNet/IP to IO Link.
