3. Select each communications driver under Services on the standard tab
page, and click the Startup Button.
4. Online operations, such as data transfer, comparison, and NC monitoring,
are executed from CX-Position.
The following FinsGateway configuration procedures show an example of
connecting the CX-Position to a PC via Host Link (SYSWAY-CV).
1. The SYSWAY-CV protocol sends FINS commands, together with Host Link
headers, terminators and other data, in Host Link protocol, and is different
from SYSWAY (which issues C-mode commands). The CX-Position uses
the SYSWAY-CV protocol for communications with the NC Unit via a CS-
or CV-series CPU Unit. Communications are not possible with SYSWAY (a
communications error will occur when an online connection is attempted).
2. The node number setting on the FinsGateway Nodes Tab Page must
match the node number set when the PC was added to the project. If not,
a dialog box will be displayed saying that the selected PC and connected
PC models conflict, and online connection will be disabled.
3. Refer to FinsGateway online help (under Programs/FinsGateway/Fins-
Gateway Help, with FinsGateway installed) for details on configuration
methods. Following are the configuration procedures for FinsGateway se-
rial communications (Host Link).
From the Start Menu, select Programs/FinsGateway/FinsGateway Config-
uration.
FinsGateway Host Link is handled as a network on one of the computer's
COM Ports, the COM Port to be used must be set (several ports may be spec-
ified).
1. Select the Drivers Icon under the Basic Tab in the FinsGateway Configu-
ration Screen.
2. Double-click SerialUnit in the Driver Settings.
3. Click the Lines Tab, and check the COM Port to be used.
