Setting the Network Address in Host (PLC) Information:
Set the FINS network address for the computer. The computer running the
Configurator uses OMRON's FINS communications service to connect to the
DeviceNet network via Ethernet. Thus, the computer must have not only an IP
address, but also a FINS network address and node address. The relation-
ship between the FINS node address and the IP address is specified by the
address conversion in the Ethernet Unit.
Obtain the FINS node address corresponding to the IP address (See note.) of
the computer from the address conversion of the Ethernet Unit. Refer to Infor-
mation on Address Conversion on page 56 for details.
Setting the Node Address in Host (PLC) Information:
Set the FINS node address for the computer.
Obtain the FINS node address corresponding to the IP address (See note.) of
the computer from the address conversion of the Ethernet Unit. Refer to Infor-
