Setting Routing Tables
Section 7-4
2.
The network address is the address of the network connected to the Unit
(between 1 and 127). The address is set when the local network table is
created.
Relay Network Table
A relay network table provides the node and network addresses correspond-
ing to the initial relay point (first point the data must go to) en route to a target
network (end network) not directly connected to the local PLC.
The table traces the route from the relay point to the end network.
The example below shows the routing tables for the route from local node
PLC1 (network address 1, node address 1) to PLC4 (network address 3, node
address 2).
Note
1.
The above example shows the routing tables for sending a message from
PLC1 to PLC4. Similar routing table entries would have to be added to
send a message from PLC4 to PLC1.

for an example of setting routing tables.

Setting Routing Tables
This section describes routing table settings.
Routing tables are set through the CX-Net (in CX-Programmer), SYSMAC
LINK, or Controller Link Support Software. This section describes setting pro-
cedures and setting details.
See the operating manual of the Programming Device you are using for the
specific setting procedure.
Note
1.
Routing tables cannot be set through Programming Consoles.
2.
Networks cannot be crossed by a Programming Device without setting
routing tables. Routing tables can therefore be set only for nodes connect-
ed to the Programming Device and other nodes in the same network. Dis-
connect and reconnect the Programming Device to each network when
setting routing tables in multiple networks.

Data first goes to

reach network
address 3.
Data then goes to
node address 2 at
network address 2
to reach network
address 3.
We know from the
local network table
that the data goes
through local unit
number 1 to reach
network address 3.
Data goes to

at network
address 3, i.e.,
