Quick Omron MC221 software confirmation

[Saint AAI]

Can someone please confirm if I'm right in thinking that the software needed to connect and program an Omron MC221 motion controller is CX-Motion and that Motion Perfect 2 is not compatible with that model?

Thanks in advance, Shane.

I just started a new project in CX-Motion 2.34, inserted a C200H PLC and then went to insert a cad - the first card in the dropdown was a C200H-MC221 so I guess it is compatible.

Thanks, the problem I have is that we do not have CX-Motion and my boss wants me to program an MC221. I thought we only had Perfect Motion 2 on our laptops which I couldn't get to connect and I'm pretty sure its not compatible with an MC221. Found an old laptop with a DOS program called MCSS on it which lets you select the C200H_MC221 module so I should be OK now. We need to get a load of new software so I'll add CX-Motion to the list.

Regards, Shane.

Buy CX-One - it has everything.
