What is a CXP file

CXP files mostly belong to CX-Programmer.

The CXP file is not a single standard type. It is a file extension used by several programs to store project or configuration data. It often contains structured data in XML format and may be compressed with ZIP or GZIP.

For example, the CX-Programmer tool uses CXP files to hold PLC program data for Omron and Controllino controllers. In this case the file holds instructions and settings that drive automation hardware.

PLC Program Files: These files are created by CX-Programmer. They store automation instructions in an XML structure, sometimes compressed to reduce file size.
CutList Plus Project Files: Some CXP files save cutting plans used by CutList Plus fx. For more details, visit the CutList Plus website.
Test Data and Configuration: In applications like Caristix, the CXP file is a ZIP package holding XML configuration data. Check out the Caristix website for additional info.
Telecom Configuration: Ericsson uses a GZIP-compressed CXP file to store configuration settings via the Ericsson CXP Tool.
Simulation Files: Some CXP files are used with Crocodile Physics to keep simulation data in an XML format. More about this can be found at Yenka.
Specialized Project Files: Other uses include storing properties for CrystalExplorer or containing compressed XML for CX Designer projects.

FilExt.com tip: Each CXP file is a configuration or project file that must be opened with its specific software. In some cases, if the file uses compression, a general archive tool (like 7-Zip) can extract and reveal its XML content.

How to open a CXP file

You need a suitable software like CX-Programmer to open a CXP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CXP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CXP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

CXP file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our evaluation of the CXP files is as follows:

You will often come across the CXP file type. This includes various formats for various programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

55% of all CXP files use the same file format, which have the signature 00 06 86 60 81 22 E7 CD 19 2B 65 E4 E8 E8 21. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The files are on average 6 KB in size and range from 1 KB to 48 KB. The file type is old but is used even today. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. "v4PpEN. These files are often associated with line, original, program, enflex, india and punch.
8% of all CXP files start with the magic bytes 0F 00 00 80, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are often between 2 KB and 18 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: (Current Project) and Gold Edition.

The remaining 37% of all CXP files are files with no common format, the following 7 formats exist: ZIP, XML and GZIP. They are often associated with nvod, export, failed, power or table. Just click the "Choose your .cxp file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your CXP file is.

How to solve problems with CXP files

Associate the CXP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open configuration/project files. Because only the current version supports the latest CXP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available CX-Programmer update.
To make sure that your CXP file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
