The following three methods can be used to connect to the PLC. Regardless of
the connection method, use FinsGateway Version 2 or higher (embedded) as
the communications driver.
FinsGateway
communications driver
Serial Unit Driver
CLK (PCI slot) Driver
(Not supported by
FinsGateway Version 2)
Controller Link Driver
ETN_UNIT Driver
Note 1. Host Link communications use FINS commands enclosed in a header and
terminator data (i.e., SYSWAY-CV for FinsGateway). Host Link communica-
tions (SYSMAC WAY) is set for the PLC.
2. FinsGateway Version 2003 only.
The personal computer uses the FinsGateway (Version 2 or higher) Serial Unit
Driver to connect to the PLC's peripheral or RS-232C port via Host Link commu-
nications.
The personal computer uses the FinsGateway (Version 2003) Serial Unit Driver
to connect to the PLC's peripheral or RS-232C port via the peripheral bus.

Note The FinsGateway Version 3 Serial Unit Driver must be installed to enable con-
necting the PLC via Host Link communications.
The personal computer can be connected to the PLC through a Controller Link
Network using the FinsGateway Version 3 CLK (PCI slot) Driver or the FinsGate-
way Version 2 or higher Controller Link Driver.
