SYSMAC WAY
SYSMAC WAY provides a simple means of connecting a computer to a PLC for monitoring and diagnostic
purposes. It has a slower transmission path than SYSMAC LINK, SYSMAC NET, Controller Link or Ethernet.
Communications are achieved by either:
♦
Employing the RS232 serial communications interface for communicating with individual PLCs.
♦
Employing the RS422 interface for communicating with multiple PLCs.
The following connections are required:
♦
RS232 connection via a standard serial port on the computer (COM1 etc.)
or
♦
RS422 connection to a 422 serial board.
These connections can also be made via a Modem. Refer to standard Microsoft Windows documentation for
details on Modem configuration and setup.
The
Driver
tab of the Network Settings dialog allows the configuration information to be entered; this
information ensures that data is transmitted correctly over the network.
Use the following procedure to apply Network Settings.
1, 2, 3…
1. Click on the associated
Settings
pushbutton in the Change PLC dialog.
2. In
the
Network
tab, check the Unit No, usually 0 for connecting to a single PLC or the
multi drop number for an RS422 connection.
3. In
the
Driver
tab, check the port on the computer for connection to the PLC and enter it in
the
Port Name
field.
4.
Select the
Baud Rate
,
Parity
,
Data Bits
and
Stop Bits
from the drop-down lists available
for the selected port.
5.
For the
Modem
tab, refer to Microsoft Windows documentation.
6.
Select the
OK
pushbutton to save these settings, or select the
Cancel
pushbutton to abort
the operation.
Note
For CS1-series PLCs, SYSMAC WAY dip switch five on the front panel must be set
to ‘OFF’.
Toolbus
Toolbus operates in a similar manner to SYSMAC WAY. The connection is made to a PLC using its peripheral
port.
The following connection is required:
