Routing Table Setting Procedure

This section describes routing table settings.
Routing tables are set through the CX-Net (in CX-Programmer), SYSMAC
LINK, or Controller Link Support Software. This section describes setting pro-
cedures and setting details.
See the operating manual of the Programming Device you are using for the
specific setting procedure.
1. Routing tables cannot be set through Programming Consoles.
2. Networks cannot be crossed by a Programming Device without setting
routing tables. Routing tables can therefore be set only for nodes connect-
ed to the Programming Device and other nodes in the same network. Dis-
connect and reconnect the Programming Device to each network when
setting routing tables in multiple networks.
3. Make sure that the routing tables are properly set at all nodes on the net-
work. If a message is sent to a node without correct routing tables, trans-
mission will not work properly and a response may not be returned.
4. When using a CVM1 or CV-series CPU Unit manufactured prior to April
1996, be sure to register routing tables whether or not the PLC is connect-
ing multiple networks. The date of production can be checked on the lot
number as explained below. (The lot number is a four-digit number written
on the side panel of the CPU Unit.)
Note
Routing tables are required if any of the CVM1 or CV-series CPU Units in
the network have been manufactured on or before April 1996.

The procedure for setting routing tables is described below.
1. Edit the local network table.
2. Edit the relay network table.
3. Save the routing tables.
4. Connect the Programming Device to a PLC.
5. Transfer the routing tables.
Manufactured in April 1996
Indicates the last digit of the manufacturing
year. In this example, the year is 1996.
Indicates the month of manufacture. October,
November, and December are indicated by x, y,
and z respectively. In this example, the month is
April.
Repeat the editing and
saving steps for all
nodes set with the rout
ing tables.
