Converting FINS to Modbus-RTU

• With routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
Network address corresponding to serial port in the routing tables.
• Without routing tables that treat serial communications path as a net-
work: Network address for specifying actual remote PC.
• Remote destination node address (DA1)
• With routing tables that treat serial communications path as a network:
00 hex (local PC's internal communications) (For serial-to-serial-to-se-
rial conversion, increment the Host Link unit number by 1.)
• Without routing tables that treat serial communications path as a net-
work: Node address for specifying actual remote PC (For serial-to-se-
rial-to-serial conversion, increment the Host Link unit number by 1.)
• Remote destination unit address (DA2)
Unit address of serial port
(2) The contents of the CompoWay/F command enclosed in the FINS mes-
sage that is sent is as follows:
Node number + subaddress + SID + command text (ASCII must be used.)
STX, ETX+BCC are not required when sending FINS. They are added
automatically for serial communications.
Modbus-RTU Slave-compatible devices (including OMRON Inverters) con-
nected serially to a PC via Modbus-RTU can be accessed from the PC or PT
using Modbus-RTU commands enclosed in FINS messages.
• Sent FINS message: FINS header + FINS command code 2804 hex +
