    PART 3: CX-Server Runtime OMRON CHAPTER 3 – Communications When the Routing Tables have been set up, communications are possible from all the computers to all PLCs. Although each network is given a specific number, the local network can always be addressed as network 0. If a serial connection has been made to a CV-series PLC, network 0 refers to the network that is connected to the lowest numbered Special I/O Unit and the local PLC can be addressed as Node 0.
