Revision 2.0

Use the following procedure to change the PLC settings:

1, 2, 3…

1. Enter a name in the

Device Name

field. A device name must consist of no more than 32

characters and must be unique.

2. Select the device type of the PLC in the

Device Type

field. If the device requirement does

not appear in the list then CX-Server does not support it.

3. Further configure the device type (e.g. CPU number) by selecting the Device Type

Settings

pushbutton. Refer to

Chapter 3 - Device Type Settings

for further details.

Select the network type of the PLC in the

Network Type

field. This list may include other

PLCs in the CX-Server project that can be used as gateway devices, depending upon the
device type chosen. A full list of connection types are provided below.

Further configure the network settings (e.g. node number) if applicable by selecting the
Network Type

Settings

pushbutton. Refer to

Chapter 3 - Network Communications (End

Connection)

for further details.

Optionally, enter a comment relating to this unique PLC in the

Comment

field.

Select the

pushbutton to save the new PLC or the

Cancel

pushbutton to abort the

operation.

Note:

The Device Name must

not

contain any of the following characters: / \ : ; , ? * & ! . “

but may include spaces and international characters. The Device Name is case
sensitive, i.e. if a name is entered in upper case which already exists in lower case, a
new PLC is created. The contents of the Network field depend upon the device type
settings of the new PLC. The Device Type

Settings

pushbutton is disabled for the

following devices: C20, FinsGateway, Memory Card Writer and Programmable Read
Only Memory (PROM) Writer, since these devices do not have options. Any PLCs
which have been set up and can act as a gateway device appear in the

Device Type

field.

A full list of connection methods is as follows:

♦

SYSMAC WAY

♦

Toolbus

. Toolbus on the CS/CJ/CP-series PLCs allows CX-Server auto-baud rate detection up to 115,200

bps. Toolbus on the CS/CJ/CP-series PLCs supports full

clients and

destinations.

♦

When the PLC model is set as a CP1H CPU Unit equipped with a USB port, a computer’s USB port can be
connected directly to the PLC’s built-in USB port with a standard USB cable.

♦

With a CP1E CPU Unit, the Toolbus and SYSMAC WAY connections cannot be used for serial
communications. Connect via USB.

♦

Modem via SYSMAC WAY

. Modem is supported through SYSMAC WAY communications via Windows

TAPI configuration.

♦

Modem via Toolbus

. Modem is supported through Toolbus communications via Windows TAPI

configuration.

♦

Ethernet via TCP/IP

. Ethernet is only supported for CS/CJ/CP-series PLCs, CV-series PLCs and

C200HE/G/X/E-Z/G-Z/X-Z series PLCs. All Ethernet connections now also support full

clients and

destinations via CX-Server Ethernet driver. CX-Server also utilises FinsGateway Version 3 Ethernet driver
if the required PLC connection UDP port is locked open by FinsGateway active running services.
