2. Read and write to the data link area using the utility applications that use the
C Library.
Note The data links can also be started by sending the data link activation
command of the FINS message service, or by using a PC software
switch operation.
1. Create routing tables using the Controller Link Support Software or the Fins-
Gateway utilities, and transfer the tables to the Board.
Note When the data link tables and routing tables are transferred to the
Controller Link Support Board, they are save in backup memory
(EEPROM) on the Board. It is not necessary to set the data again
when the power is turned OFF and ON.
2. Send and receive FINS messages using the utility applications that use the
C Library.
If more than one Controller Link Support Board is mounted to a computer, make
sure that the same Board IDs is not set for more than one Board. Up to 4 Boards
can be mounted.
Note Refer to the Controller Link Support Board Installation Guide (W388).
Turn ON the terminating resistance switch only for the nodes at both ends of a
wired Controller Link Network and turn OFF the switch for all other nodes.
Note Refer to the Controller Link Support Board Installation Guide (W388).
Turn OFF the power of all the nodes on the network before connecting or discon-
necting a cable.
Note Refer to Section 2 Wiring.
Use the specified cable only.
Note Refer to 1-2 Specifications and Configurations.
Set the same baud rate for all nodes on the same network.
Note Refer to the Controller Link Support Board Installation Guide (W388).
When a CV-series PC is connected to the network, set routing tables at all the
nodes.
Note Routing tables are not required if all the CV-series CPU Units in the Controller
Link Network have been manufactured on or after May 1996. The manufacturing
date can be determined from the four-digit lot number on the side of the CPU
Unit.
Lot No.: j j
Set routing tables at all the nodes in all the networks when multiple networks are
connected to one PC.
Note Refer to Section 7 Network Interconnections.
