1-1-2 Functions According to Network
The functions for each network are listed in the following table.
Network Functions
DeviceNet, CompoNet, or CompoWay/F A virtual network or virtual serial communications
configuration can be created offline and connected
device parameters can be set, and data can be
uploaded, downloaded, and compared when
online.
Controller Link or SYSMAC LINK User-set data link tables can be created offline
and then transferred online to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Data link parameters can be set automatically
online and then transferred to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Controller Link A Controller Link Network Diagnostic Tool can be
started to diagnose Controller Link networks.
Ethernet Broadcast node searches and ping tests are
enabled (with CX-Integrator Ver. 1.1 or higher).
NT Link Settings for an NS-series PT with a model number
ending in V1 or later serially connected to a
CS/CJ-series PLC via NT Link can be
automatically detected and set for the serial port of
the CS/CJ-series PLC. This is called NT Link Auto
Online Setting function.
FINS networks, such as Ethernet, Controller
Link, SYSMAC LINK, and DeviceNet Routing tables can be set offline and then
transferred online to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Echoback tests between nodes are enabled (with
CX-Integrator Ver. 1.1 or higher).
1-1-3 Connecting to the Relay PLC
Either of the following methods can be used to connect the CX-Integrator online to the
relay PLC.
Serial communications (Toolbus or Host Link Mode)
FINS network communications, such as Controller Link, SYSMAC LINK, Ethernet,
Ethernet FINS/TCP, or FinsGateway (See notes 1 and 2.)
Note 1: If the computer running the CX-Integrator is connected directly to a network, the
network address and node can be specified to set any PLC on the local network or an
interconnected network as the relay PLC.
2: If FinsGateway is selected, connection will not be possible to a DeviceNet,
CompoNet, or CompoWay/F network. To connect to any of these networks, use
Ethernet, Ethernet (FINS/TCP), Controller Link, or SYSMAC LINK instead of
FinsGateway.
