Note: Accessing PLC Communications Across Network Layers
Online Connection
When the target PLC is online, Communications Units connected to the target PLC (referred to here
Information Window
as simple "Communications Units") are displayed as follows:.
Target Device, Target PLC CPU Unit model (network address) (node address)
• CPU Unit name [model] (network address) (-) (serial port FINS unit address)
• Communications Unit name [model] (network address) (node address) (unit number)
• Communications Unit name [model] (network address) (node address) (unit number)
Communications configuration information can be uploaded by right-clicking a Communications Unit
and selecting Transfer – Network to PC.

• CompoWay/F (CS/CJ-series CPU Units must be unit version 3.0 or later.)
Serial Communications Boards and Serial Communications Units must be
unit version 1.2 or later. Only slaves for which CPS files are installed on the
computer can be accessed.
• NT Links (Connection is possible only for NS-series PTs with model
numbers ending in V1 or later.)
Note: For the CJ2 CPU Units, connection is impossible when "USB" is
If relay network routing tables are set, a PLC on a different network layer than the network of the
PLC connected to the CX-Integrator can be set as the target PLC.
Node information for FINS communications (CPU Unit model, Ethernet
Unit mode, node address, and network address)
Information on nodes participating in the Controller Link network (CPU
Unit model, Controller Link Unit mode, node address, and network
address)
The following functions are also possible if the Controller Link Network
Diagnostic Tool is started.
Configuration node diagnosis (network participation status, current
Controller Link Unit errors, current CPU Unit errors, and differences from
node files), setting diagnosis (e.g., DM Area parameter setting
consistency), line disconnection information diagnosis, transmission
status diagnosis, node status (displaying current error status and error
log), error log collection, and node file editing (node names, connection
order, and Repeater Units)
Information on nodes participating in the SYSMAC LINK network (CPU
Unit model, Controller Link Unit mode, node address, and network
address)
Information on nodes connected to DeviceNet for which EDS files are
installed on the computer (DeviceNet Unit model, slave model,
master/slave node addresses)
Information on nodes connected to CompoNet for which DTM is installed
on the computer (CompoNet Master Unit models, Slave Unit models,
Master/Slave Unit status)
Information on nodes connected to a serial port in serial gateway mode or
protocol macro mode for which CPS files are installed on the computer
(CompoWay/F SLAVE model and CompoWay/F node address).
Note: CS/CJ-series CPU Units with unit version 3.0 or later, or Serial
Communications Boards/Units with unit version 1.2 or later, or
CP-series Communications Option Boards must be used.
Information on nodes connected to 1:N NT Links (NS-series PT model
and NT Link unit number)
Note: Automatic detection of NS-series PTs connected serially to a
CS/CJ-series PLC is also possible. (The NT Link Automatic Setting
Function automatically changes the setting of the PLC's serial port
to match those of the NS-series PT.)
