    SECTION 7 FINS Communications This section provides information on communicating on FL-net Systems and interconnected networks using FINS commands. The information provided in the section deals only with FINS communications in reference to FL-net (Ver. 2.00) Units. FINS commands from a PLC are sent using the SEND(090), RECV(098), and CMND(490) instructions programmed into the user ladder-diagram program.

  • Page 118: Overview Of Fins Communications

    The FINS communications service is a function for controlling operations such as sending and receiving data, changing modes, and so on, between nodes on OMRON factory automation networks. It provides the following features. • Communications instructions are executed in the user program.
  • Page 119 • Units and Boards that support FINS commands return responses auto- matically, so there is no need for a program at the receiving end. • The FINS communications service is mainly used between OMRON CPU Bus Units, CPU Units, and Support Boards for FA Computers. By cor- rectly setting information such as headers, however, it can also be used from ordinary Ethernet communications devices.

    Section 7-2 Sending Commands from a PLC Sending Commands from a PLC FINS commands can be sent from the user’s ladder-diagram program in the CPU Unit by using the SEND(090), RECV(098), and CMND(490) instructions. SEND(090): Writes I/O data from the local node to another node. RECV(098): Reads I/O data from another node to the local node.

The “10” in 10Base-5 indicates a baud rate of 10 Mbps. “Base” indicates that a baseband transmission method is used.
  • Page 217 Appendix A System Configuration Other Ethernet Specifications The 10Base-2 standard is an Ethernet connection method that uses 5-mm wide coaxial cables (also called thin cables).
