Serial Gateway Communications with a Component or Host Link Slave
It is possible to send FINS commands (or send/receive data) to a component or Host Link Slave
connected to the PLC through its serial port with the serial gateway function.
• Sending to a Component
When a CMND(490) or CMND2(493) instruction is executed to a
serial port that supports the serial gateway function, the serial
gateway function converts the command to a CompoWay/F,
Modbus-RTU, or Modbus-ASCII command.
• Sending to a PLC Operating as a Host Link Slave
When a CMND(490), CMND2(493), SEND(090), SEND2(491),
RECV(098), or RECV2(492) instruction is executed to a serial
port that supports the serial gateway function, the serial gateway
function can send any FINS command or send/receive data.
Communications from a Host Computer Connected through Host Link
It is possible to send FINS commands from a host computer to the PLC to which it is connected as well
as other devices in the network (CPU Units, Special I/O Units, computers, etc.). In this case, the
necessary Host Link header and terminator must be attached to the FINS command when it is sent.
