Online Connection to PLCs Connected Via Serial Gateway to Host Link FINS
Previous version (Ver. 4.0)
Online connection to PLCs
connected using a Serial
Gateway to Host Link FINS
was not supported.
Increased Data Link Capacity for Controller Link Networks and Areas 1 and 2 Can Use the
Same Area for Data Links (CS/CJ-series Controller Link Units Unit Ver. 1.2 (Available
Soon) or Later)
Previous version (Ver. 4.0)
A maximum of 12,000
send/receive words (total of
Area 1 and Area 2) per node
could be set when using
Controller Link data links
(manually set) with a CS/CJ-
series Controller Link Unit.
Area 1 and Area 2 had to be
in different areas when using
Controller Link data links
(manually set) with a CS/CJ-
series Controller Link Unit.
Setting Local Network Tables (Using CX-Net Routing Tables) for the Serial Ports of Serial
Communications Boards/Units (Ver. 1.2 or Later)
Previous version (Ver. 4.0)
The following items could be
displayed in the Unit
directory of the SIOU Tab
Page on the left of the
routing table main view. The
local network address could
be set for the serial port of
the CPU Unit and registered
in the local network table by
right-clicking and selecting
Insert CPU SIOU.
• Unit 252 (serial port)
• Unit 253 (peripheral port)
Online connection is possible through the serial port of a Serial Communications
Board/Unit (Ver. 1.2 or later) to PLCs connected using Host Link FINS via a Serial
Gateway.
In the Change PLC Dialog Box, specify serial port 1 or 2 of the Serial Communications
Board/Unit (Ver. 1.2 or later) and the Host Link number of the destination PLC.
Using a CS/CJ-series Controller Link Unit with Ver. 1.2 (available soon) or later, a
maximum of 20,000 send/receive words per node (total of Area 1 and Area 2) can be
set for nodes in Controller Link data links (manually set).
A CS/CJ-series Controller Link Unit Ver. 1.2 (available soon) or later and Controller Link
data links (manually set) enables setting the same memory area for both Area 1 and
Area 2, provided that the addresses are not the same.
Example: The entire Data Link (i.e., Area 1 and Area 2) can be set in EM bank 0.
The same function is now supported for the serial ports of Serial Communications
Boards/Units (Ver. 1.2 or later). By right-clicking a device under the Unit directory and
selecting Insert CPU SIOU, local network addresses can also be set for the serial ports
of the Serial Communications Boards and Units to register them in the local network
table.
