Example: Configuration and Startup Procedures via Host Link
(SYSWAY-CV)
The following FinsGateway configuration procedures show an example of
connecting the CX-Position to a PC via Host Link (SYSWAY-CV).
Note
1.
The SYSWAY-CV protocol sends FINS commands, together with Host Link
headers, terminators and other data, in Host Link protocol, and is different
from SYSWAY (which issues C-mode commands). The CX-Position uses
the SYSWAY-CV protocol for communications with the NC Unit via a CS-
or CV-series CPU Unit. Communications are not possible with SYSWAY (a
communications error will occur when an online connection is attempted).
2.
The node number setting on the FinsGateway
Nodes
Tab Page must
match the node number set when the PC was added to the project. If not,
a dialog box will be displayed saying that the selected PC and connected
PC models conflict, and online connection will be disabled.
3.
Refer to FinsGateway online help (under
Programs/FinsGateway/Fins-

rial communications (Host Link).
