Connecting Cable
The following three methods can be used to connect to the PLC. Regardless of
the connection method, the FinsGateway communications driver (embedded
version 2) is used.
Communications
network
Host Link Network
(See note.)
Controller Link
Network
Ethernet Network
Note Host Link communications use FINS commands wrapped in header and termi-
nator data (i.e., SYSWAY-CV for FinsGateway). Host Link communications
(SYSMAC WAY) is set for the PLC.
The personal computer uses the FinsGateway's Serial Unit Driver to connect to
the peripheral or RS-232C port of the PLC via Host Link communications.

Note 1. The Serial Communications Mode must be set to Host Link.
Host Link communications use FINS commands wrapped in header and ter-
minator data (i.e., SYSWAY-CV for FinsGateway). The peripheral bus can-
not be used.
2. The FinsGateway Version 2 Serial Unit Driver must be installed to enable
connecting the PLC via Host Link communications.
3. The following Connecting Cables are used to connect the CX-Process Tool
(personal computer) to the PLC (CPU Unit or Serial Communications
Board/Unit).
