2-3 Uploading Network Configurations and Checking for Communications
Unit Errors
2-3-2 Procedure
2)
The following message will be displayed for verification.
Check to confirm that no nodes other than OMRON Ethernet Units or FinsGateway
exist in the same segment, and then click the OK Button. The dialog box will then
be displayed for selecting the data to be transferred.
Click the Transfer Button to display the following Searching Node Setting Dialog
Box.
Check the range of FINS node addresses on the Ethernet network for the
applicable nodes and input the minimum and maximum values of the range. Then
click the OK Button. The transfer will start.
If the range of addresses is unknown, select All (1 to 254), and then click the OK
Button.
Click the Cancel Button to cancel the transfer.
Note If the default settings are use for the minimum and maximum nodes (1 for both),
the network configuration will be uploaded only from the node with node address
1. Always set the minimum and maximum node addresses.
If nodes in the specified range do not exist, it will take 20 seconds per node to
search for it. If All (1 to 254) is selected, it will take up to approximately 85 minutes
for the transfer to be completed. The transfer will also take longer if a maximum
address is entered that is higher than any of the existing node address.
!Caution Do not use this function if a node exists for something other than an OMRON
Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway within the same segment on Ethernet, and when the
Ethernet network system is in operation. When an Ethernet network configuration
upload is executed, an OMRON FINS command is sent to all nodes in the
segment. Therefore, if a node exists for something other than an OMRON Ethernet
Unit or FinsGateway, the FINS command will not be received at that node and
unexpected operation may occur.
