♦
SYSMAC LINK for OMRON NSB . SYSMAC LINK is supported through FinsGateway Version 3 when
installed via CX-Server installation and services are activated.
♦
SYSMAC NET for OMRON NSB . SYSMAC NET communications are supported on Windows NT only
through FinsGateway Version 3 when installed via CX-Server installation and services are activated.
♦
FinsGateway CPU unit connection and Gateway connection combinations .
♦
DeviceNet The unit for Device Net Communications is available for all CS1/CJ1 series PLCs and the
CPM2*-S* PLCs.
♦
CS1 Board for Omron CS1 PCI board. PCI Board is supported through FinsGateway version 3.12 when
installed via CX-Server installation and services are activated.
Device Type Settings
The Device Type Settings dialog allows further configuration of the selected PLC. This is important since the
behaviour of the PLC depends upon details such as CPU type (e.g. the network options available to a C200HS
require CPU31 or CPU33 setting to be specified). Device type settings cannot be adjusted for an open PLC or a
gateway PLC.
The General tab of the Device Type Settings dialog allows:
♦
Selection of CPU Type ;
♦
Allocation of Program Memory or protection from writing;
♦
Allocation of Expansion Memory or protection from writing;
♦
Allocation of File Memory or protection from writing;
♦
Installation of a Timer/Clock .
When settings cannot be selected, the PLC is fitted with the standard settings as shown on the Device Type
Settings dialog and cannot be reconfigured. Similarly, if Expansion Memory cannot be selected for CV-Series
PLCs, EM memory cannot be configured.
In each instance, availability of CPU Type and memory depends upon the device type selected (and also the
amount of expansion memory purchased for the PLC). Changing CPU type automatically changes the amount
of memory available on some devices.
For SRM1 PLCs, only CPU Type can be selected.
For CV-series PLCs, CS1-series PLCs and IDSC, File Memory allows selection of the amount of EPROM or
EEPROM. A Timer/Clock can be installed.
Defining Connections and Gateway PLCs
It is possible to communicate with PLCs which are not directly connected to the computer via PLC network
configuration and gateway abilities of PLCs. Generally, a directly connected PLC or the network NSB as a
gateway is used to route to the required PLC by use of its routing table and networking capability. In order to
