Exchanging Data with a PLC over a Network (Multihost)
Communicating with a PLC via NT Link,
using Ethernet without Special PLC Programming
Ethernet Communications without
Programming
NS-series PTs can communicate with a CS/CJ-
series PLC (equipped with an Ethernet Unit)
through “program-free” communications just
like NT Link communications. Data is transferred
through Ethernet through a simple PLC address
and initial communications setup.
Using Data Links between the PT and the PLC
Controller Link Interface Unit
The Controller Link is an FA network that can send and
receive large data packets flexibly and easily among
OMRON PLCs and IBM PC/AT or compatible computers. The
NS12 and NS10 PTs can be connected to the Controller Link
network easily via a Controller Link Interface Unit. When a
Controller Link network is used, data can be transferred
between multiple PLCs and NS12/NS10 PTs without writing
ladder programming to manage the communications.
SPMA (Single Port Multi Access) Function
Screen data can be transferred through the PLC from the CX-Designer to the PT connected to the PLC in series or via a network.
Ladder programs can be monitored or transferred from the CX-Programmer through the NS-series PT to PLCs connected to the PT
in series or via a network.
Screen transfer
from the
Controller Link
is supported
from version 6.
You may want to transfer screens to a PT through the PLC without changing
computer connections or to transfer a ladder program to the PLC through the PT
by using the Ethernet or Controller Link.
