CX-Process Monitor Plus
Section 1-1
You can use any one of the FinsGateway (Embedded version) given below.
• Serial Unit driver
• Controller Link driver
• CLK (PCI) driver
• ETN_UNIT driver
Note
1.
You cannot start CX-Process Monitor Plus if FinsGateway (Embedded ver-
sion) is not installed.
2.
CX-Process (Monitor Plus and Tool) cannot use FinsGateway Version 1 as
a communications driver. Be sure to use Version 3 or later.
3.
If CX-Programmer, CX-Protocol, CX-Motion, or other Support Software
(i.e., CX-Server communications software), or applications that use spe-
cial serial drivers, are connected online, they use the same COM port, so
CX-Process (Monitor Plus and Tool) cannot connect online (i.e., initialize
serial communications) using the Host link (SYSWAY). First disconnect of-
fline other Support Software or applications that use special serial drivers,
before reconnecting online (i.e., initializing serial communications) CX-
Process. Conversely, while CX-Process is connected online (i.e., initializ-
ing serial communications), other Support Software that communicate us-
ing CX-Server cannot connect online.
4.
You cannot install CX-Process and FinsGateway Version 1 on the same
IBM PC/AT or compatible.
5.
If using Windows NT 4.0 as your OS, you must use Service Pack 6a or lat-
er.
6.
Both FinsGateway Version 3 and Version 2003 (Embedded version) are
bundled with the CX-Process Monitor Plus software.
When using FinsGateway for the communications driver, install one of
these versions. The FinsGateway Runtime Version can also be used. If the
runtime version is already installed, it is not necessary to install the embed-
ded version.
Set Network Address,
Node Address, and Unit
Address.
The network address, node address, and unit address for communications
between the CX-Process Monitor Plus and PLC are set using the CX-Process
Tool address settings (
Settings
/
Network Settings
).
Note
The CX-Process Monitor and CX-Process Monitor Plus use FinsGateway as
the communications driver for connections with the PLC. When using the CX-
Process Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus, always set FinsGateway as the
communications driver for the CX-Process Tool. If the CX-Server is set, the
CX-Process Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus will not be able to go online
with the PLC.
