to allow the user to view, edit and monitor PLC Data Areas, bits and symbols.
♦ Chapter 3 IO Table Component . This chapter describes the IO Table Component and its ability to edit
PLC IO Table and SIOU Settings on a PLC.
♦
Chapter 4 PLC Setup Component . This chapter describes the PLC Setup Component and the procedures
involved in the configuration of PLC settings.
♦
Chapter 5 Data Trace/Time Chart Monitor Component . This chapter describes the Data Trace/Time
Chart Monitor Component and the procedures involved when viewing Data Trace and Time Chart
Monitoring information in either Histogram or Trend Graph mode.
♦
Chapter 6 PLC Error Component . This chapter describes the PLC Error Component and the procedures
involved in reading and clearing PLC CPU errors, error log entries and messages.
♦

so that it can participate in one, or more automatic data sharing schemes, over SYSMAC LINK and
Controller Link networks, without the need for special programming.
♦
Chapter 11 Routing Tables. This chapter describes how Routing tables allow networked PLCs to be
configured so that they can communicate with each other via gateways; across remote networks.
♦
Appendix A Network Availability . The tables in this appendix indicate the network available to each PLC
device group. FinsGateway has no network availability and is not described.
♦
Appendix B PLC Memory Area . The tables in this appendix provide memory area details for each device
group.
