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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Optionally, enter a comment relating to this unique PLC in the Comment field.
7.
Select the OK 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 n clients and n 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 connection cannot be used for serial communications. Connect via
USB or SYSMAC WAY.
♦
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 n clients and n
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.
