ProWORX NxT
Reduced development time and effort
With the Network Editor, ProWORX NxT reduces development time by using
the 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 with
ProWORX NxT’s powerful Network Scan feature. Network Scan searches
your Modbus or Modbus Plus networks, then identifies and graphically displays 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 one
on your plant floor with Pro WORX NxT’s graphical Traffic Cop. It displays I/O
cards on your screen the same way they look in real life, eliminating all confusion. To place a card, just select it from the convenient drop down menu and
then drag it into the controller slot you want. To save even more time, the
Traffic Cop automatically associates the card’s I/O points with with a block of
free 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 Traffic
Cop’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 through
complicated communications configuration with ease. The Peer Cop wizard
guides the user through the method of Modbus Plus Peer Cop transaction
and creates the configuration extension while doing so. The same can be
said for the Ethernet I/O Scanner wizard, whereby the user enjoys the
uncomplicated configuration of Ethernet communication between two
PLC’s in a straight forward manner.

ProWORX NxT
Intuitive register editor
A powerful analysis tool, the Data Watch Window shows you information from
your 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 decisions. View and edit data in full page display, see trends and track data
points against time in a spreadsheet, and monitor any combinations of
discretes and analogs.
Windows environment
The familiar Windows-based programming environment means you spend
less 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 Generator, which can automatically create wiring diagrams for the I/O cards
defined in the Traffic Cop. Generate the drawings you need all at once or
just one card at a time – simply select an address the I/O card uses with
the Network Editor, then click the drawing button on the Hardware-Back
Referencing panel. NxT displays the diagram, and if you want, saves it
as an AUTOCAD-compatible .DXF file or prints it.

ProWORX Plus
ProWORX Plus
ProWORX Plus includes a number of productive application tools that formed
the basis of what ProWORX Nxt is today. ProWORX Plus appeals to the discerning DOS user in that it offers all of the flexibility of the Nxt product, but
available under a legacy environment still widely in use throughout industry.
Products
As denoted in the feature summary, we offer several versions. The standard
Online Offline version, Online Offline with Productivity Module, Online only
and Lite. Lite offers full functionality within the standard programming environment, however the PLC support range is limited.
Productivity Module
The ProWORX Plus “Productivity Module” contains a number of features that
take the DOS package over and above the standard Online Offline System
Programmer package in that it offers utilities such as the “Bill of Materials”
generator, the Offline “Emulator” to name just two.
Supported Environment
ProWORX Plus is exclusively designed to run within the DOS environment.
As a note of caution, Schneider Electric does not suggest, nor support the
installation or operation of ProWORX Plus on machines that employ
Microsoft Windows NT as its operating system.
