3-2-10 Transferring Routing Tables to a Network PLC through a
Direct Serial Connection
Use the following procedure to transfer the FINS local routing tables to a PLC in the
network (see note 2) through the PLC that is connected by a direct serial connection
with network address 0 and node address 0.
Note 1: The following conditions are required to use this function.
•
Use CX-Integrator Version 2.1 or higher.
•
The PLC must have a CS/CJ-series CPU Unit with unit
version 4.0 or later.
Note 2: The FINS local routing tables can be transferred only to a PLC in the same network
as the PLC connected directly by a direct serial connection. The transfer cannot
cross a network level to another network.
The following example shows how to transfer the routing tables to PLC2, PLC3, PLC4,
and PLC5, which are in the same network as directly connected PLC1, as shown in
the network configuration diagram.
Computer (CX-Integrator)
Controller Link Unit with
unit number 1
PLC2
Network address 0
Initial connection to PLC1
Direct serial connection
Node address 2
Ethernet
PLC4
Node address 2
PLC5
Node address 3
Network address 0
The local network table is
not set in this PLC.
Connect online with
network address = 0,
and node address = 0.
PLC3
Node address 3
Controller Link
Ethernet Unit with
unit number 0
Note The data transfer procedure described in this section is applicable to the FINS local
routing tables only.
Transfer Procedure
1. Confirm that PLC1 is connected directly to the CX-Integrator by a serial
connection (with network address = 0, and node address = 0), and online.)
2. Select Tools – Start Routing Table .
It is also possible to right-click the Communications Unit or Port in the Online
Connection Information Window select
Start Routing Table from the popup
menu.
