Page 22: Communications With The Host
1-2 Communications with the Host 1-2 Communications with the Host NS-series PTs allow the user to allocate words and bits in any PLC area for use in accessing the required display contents and storing input data. Operations that can be performed include reading and writing allocated word contents and bit status directly, changing the display status of functional objects on the PT screen, and con- trolling and notifying PT status.
Page 23: What Is An Nt Link
1-2-4 Host Link Host Link is a serial communications protocol for connecting an OMRON PT 1:1 to a host (a PLC) to read and write bits and words from the host. Host Link communications connect a PT to many different PLCs. Refer to the Host Connection Manual (Host Links) for connection methods and the PLCs for which Host Links can be used.
Page 24: Memory Link Connections
1-2 Communications with the Host 1-2-6 Memory Link Connections When the host is a computer instead of a PLC, the Memory Link protocol can be used to connect with the computer. Use serial port A or B to connect to the host. For details, refer to the Host Connection Manual (Tem.Control, MemLink).

5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet To connect to the network using Ethernet, the network number, node number, and IP address must be set. Use the CX-Designer to set the settings. For details, refer to System Settings and Project Properties in the CX-Designer’s Online Help.
Page 124: Host Types And Settings
Host Types and Settings Units that are used for Ethernet communications vary according to the type and series of OMRON PLC used. When connecting an Ethernet Unit, check the series and type of the PLC that it will be con- nected to and the model of the Unit that is mounted to the PLC.
Page 125 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet • Host Settings The following settings must be set at the host. Item Host Settings Network number 1 to 127 Conversion table Node number: 1 to 254 IP address: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 UDP port number 1 to 65535, default is 9600.
Page 126 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet IP Address Allocation The IP addresses are allocated so that they are unique for each node in the network (or be- tween two or more networks). If two or more nodes are allocated the same IP address, the remote nodes with the same IP address will also malfunction.
Page 127 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet Address Conversion (when Using FINS Communications Service Only) When using the FINS communications service, nodes must be specified following the FINS addressing system. Data that is transmitted on the Ethernet network using FINS communica- tions, however, must follow the IP address format.
Page 128 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet IP Address Table Method Whereas the automatic generation method obtains the IP address from the FINS node num- ber, the IP address table method converts the FINS node number to the IP address based on a preset conversion table (IP address table).
Page 129 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet Unit number 04 Unit number 02 Local network table Local network Unit number address Network 2 Network 3 Remote Network Table The remote network table provides the node and network address corresponding to the initial relay point (first point the data must pass) en route to a target network (end network) not di- rectly connected to the local PLC.
Page 130 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet Setting the Front Panel Switches Setting Unit Numbers Always set the unit numbers so that the unit numbers of other CPU Bus Units mounted to the CPU Unit are all unique. Use a small screwdriver to set the rotary switches, being careful not to damage them. The factory setting is 0.

When using automatic generation to convert addresses, set the node number to the same value as that of the rightmost byte of the local IP address.
Page 134 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet • Set the unit number using SW1 and SW2. Set the unit number so that it is different from other CPU Bus Units in the system. • Set the node number using SW3 and SW4. Setting Range Each switch can be set within the following range.
Page 135 5-1 Connecting to Host Via Ethernet • The node number cannot be set to a value higher than 7E (126 decimal). If the node Reference number is set to a higher value, an error will occur and the ERH indicator in the dis- play will light.

What Is a Controller Link Network? A Controller Link Network is an FA Network that can send and receive large data packets flexibly and easily among the OMRON C200HX/HG/HE PLC Programmable Terminal (PTs), SYSMAC CS-series PLCs, CJ-series PLCs, CQM1H-series PLCs, C200HX/HG/HE PLCs, CVM1/CV-series PLCs, IBM PC/AT or compatible computers, and NS-series PTs.
