2.8 Communications with an OMRON PLC (FINS Communications Service)
Using the MSG-RCVE Function with the MP3000 as a Slave
2-202
Setting the Remote Device (OMRON PLC)
Use the following procedure to set up the OMRON CJ-series PLC.
1.
Set the node address of the Ethernet Unit. In this example, the node address is set to 02 hex.
2.
Start the CX-Programmer.
3.
Create a project.
4.
Set the network parameters.
Note: When using an OMRON PLC, set the node address of the Ethernet Unit so that it matches the last digit of the
IP address (2 in the case of 192.168.001.002). If the node address does not match the last digit, an error may
occur in the Ethernet Unit of the OMRON PLC.
When communicating with FINS/UDP, set the FINS/UDP port setting to the same number as the remote sta-
tion port number of the MP3000.
5.
Set the FINS/TCP connection parameters. Use the following settings for FINS/TCP connection
number 1.
Note: The FINS/TCP connection settings are not required when communicating with FINS/UDP.
6.
Create routing tables if required.
Note: Specify an IP address that is not in use by any other device on the same network.
Check with your network administrator for unused IP addresses.
The CJ Series is manufactured by OMRON Corporation.
