Connecting the PLC
Section 2-2
2-2
Connecting the PLC
The following three methods can be used to connect to the PLC. Regardless
of the connection method, the FinsGateway communications driver (embed-
ded version) is used.
Note
Host Link communications use FINS commands wrapped in header and ter-
minator data (i.e., SYSWAY-CV for FinsGateway). Host Link communications
(SYSMAC WAY) is set for the CPU Unit.
2-2-1
Connecting via Host Link
The personal computer uses the FinsGateway’s Serial Unit Driver to connect
to the peripheral or RS-232C port of the PLC via Host Link communications.
Note
1.
The Serial Communications Mode must be set to Host Link.
Host Link communications use FINS commands wrapped in header and
terminator data (i.e., SYSWAY-CV for FinsGateway). The peripheral bus
cannot be used.
2.
The FinsGateway Serial Unit Driver must be installed to enable connecting
the PLC via Host Link communications.
3.
The following Connecting Cables are used to connect the CX-Process Tool
(personal computer) to the PLC (CPU Unit or Serial Communications
Board/Unit).
