Network address 1
Note: In this context, the following are Network Communications Units: Ethernet Unit, Controller
Note
The following, however, is an exception. In this case, a local network table does not
need to be registered even if there is more than one Network Communications Unit.
If a local network table is not registered, network access will be possible to only the
network of the Communications Unit with the smallest unit number when a direct
serial connection is made to a target PLC.
Relay Network Table Settings Required
Communicating across Network Levels
Routing tables are required when communicating with another PLC in a network
outside of the local network.
Setting routing tables makes it possible to communicate with other network levels
using FINS message communications or the CX-Programmer's remote programming
and monitoring functions.

Routing Table Setting Methods

To set the routing tables, start the Routing Table Component. The Routing Table
Component can be started with either of the following methods.
For details on making the routing table settings in the Routing Table Component, refer
to 3-2-2 Creating the FINS Local Routing Tables.
Method 1:
While online, right-click the Communications Unit or Port in the Online Connection
Information Window select Start Routing Table from the popup menu.
Method 2:
While offline, select Tools - Start Routing Table from the menu bar.
Method 3:
While online, right-click the target PLC in the Online Connection Information Window
select Start Routing Table from the popup menu.
A local network table is required when there is even one other node in the same
network in which routing tables have been set already.
A local network table is required when there are two or more Network
Communications Units (see note) mounted to a single CPU Unit.

Link Unit, SYSMAC LINK Unit, DeviceNet Unit, FL-net Unit, EtherNet/IP Unit, built-in
EtherNet/IP port, or Serial Communications Board/Unit (when the serial port is treated as
a Network Communications Unit). EtherNet/IP Units and built-in EtherNet/IP ports are
treated as Ethernet Units.
