Page 72 • Always create local network tables and transfer them to the relay PLC and target PLC. • When specifying a target PLC in another network, register both local network tables and relay network tables in all of the PLCs on the path between the relay PLC and target PLC. Overall Procedure Start the CX-Integrator.
Page 73 Reading Network Configurations and Parameters from Actual Networks and Saving Them to Files Online To simplify maintenance, the target PLC’s actual network configuration and all of the DeviceNet and CompoWay/F component parameters can be uploaded and saved in a project file (.cin) for each network.
Page 74 Basic Procedures Designing DeviceNet and CompoWay/F Networks Offline Networks can be designed on the CX-Integrator even before they have been installed. Parameters for individual DeviceNet masters and slaves can be set. Parameters for individual CompoWay/F slaves can be set. The specified parameters can be saved in project files.
Page 75 Reading Saved Parameters and Downloading Them Online to DeviceNet or CompoWay/F Components All of the component parameters on a network can be downloaded to the actual components from a previously saved project file (.cin) after the network has been installed. Parameters can also be downloaded for individual components.
Page 76 Directly Connecting the Computer Running CX-Integrator to CompoWay/F Components without Going Through a PLC Uploading the CompoWay/F network configuration is possible through a direction connection from the CX-Integrator to CompoWay/F protocol components using RS-232C or RS-485 communications without going through a PLC. Component parameters can also be set.
Page 77: Connecting Online To The Relay Plc
Note: If an online connection is made to the relay PLC, the same PLC will be both the relay PLC and the target PLC. Once the relay PLC has been connected to online, the network con- figuration can be uploaded or the target PLC can be changed to a different PLC.
