5. Click the OK Button. Serial communications will be initiated.
Note 1. The following dialog box will appear is an online function, such as download-
ing or uploading data, is attempted before the initialization of serial commu-
nications has been finished. The dialog box will include a message stating
an error occurrence at the stage of initialization with error code 0503.
2. If another Support Software application communicating over the CX-Server,
such as the CX-Programmer, CX-Protocol, or CX-Motion, or an application
using the dedicated serial driver is connected online, the CX-Process Tool
cannot be connected to the same COM port online via Host Link. (The initial-
ization of serial communications is possible but actual online connections
will not be possible.) Disconnect any other applications, then reconnect the
CX-Process Tool by initializing serial communications. (If the CX-Process
Tool is connected or initializing serial communications using FinsGateway
as the driver, no software applications communicating over the CX-Server
can be connected to the same COM port.)
3. When serial communications are initialized, the FinsGateway communica-
tions service will start. If another FinsGateway application is running, the
FINS communications of the application may be affected by the initialization
of serial communications.
4. Serial communications cannot be initialized unless the user is the adminis-
trator.
5. Initializing serial communications will start the SYSWAY-CV communica-
tions for the FinsGateway. With this method, a FINS commands are sent
wrapped in a Host Link header and terminator. Before operating the Fins-
Gateway Version 3 Serial Unit, select SYSWAY-CV as the protocol.
1. Set the unit numbers of the Loop Control Units (with the thumbwheel
