What is a .CXT file?
The file extension .CXT refers to a "Director Protected Cast File," which is a type of project file created by the CX-Programmer. The CX-Programmer is a software application used for programming PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and it is included in the CX-One software suite developed by OMRON. This software suite is specifically designed for automating processes in industrial settings.
The .CXT file contains a project that is saved in a plain text format. This means that the file is readable as text and includes important information such as user programs and data parameters that define how the PLC will operate. These programs and parameters are crucial for the automation tasks the PLC is intended to perform.
To open a .CXT file, you would typically use the OMRON CX-One software, as it is specifically designed to work with files created by the CX-Programmer. Within the CX-One suite, the CX-Programmer is the tool that directly handles these files.
It's important to note that the native save format for projects created in CX-Programmer is actually the .CXP format, not the .CXT format. The .CXP format is a compressed version of the project files, which makes them smaller and perhaps more efficient to handle in some cases. Because of the compression, .CXP files are more commonly used than .CXT files. However, both formats are used for saving and opening projects within the CX-Programmer environment.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .CXT file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
