In order to communicate through the network, it is necessary to register a routing table in each PLC's
CPU Unit which indicates the route by which data will be transferred to the desired node. Each routing
table is made up of a local network table and a relay network table.
• Local network table: This table shows the unit numbers and network addresses of the nodes
• Relay network table: This table shows the node numbers and network addresses of the first relay
Unsolicited Communications with a Host Computer Connected via Host
Link
By executing a SEND(090), SEND2(491), RECV(098), RECV2(492), CMND(490), or CMND2(493)
instruction for a serial port set to Host Link mode, the necessary Host Link header and terminator will
be attached to the FINS command and the command will be sent to the host computer.

Note Host Link communications can be sent through the network. In this case, the FINS command travels through
the network normally. When the command reaches the Host Link system, the necessary Host Link header
and terminator are attached to the FINS command and the command is sent to the host computer.
