Connecting to the Relay PLC

Either of the following methods can be used to connect the CX-Integrator online to the
relay PLC.
Serial communications (Toolbus or Host Link Mode)
FINS network communications, such as Controller Link
Ethernet FINS/TCP, or FinsGateway
Note: If the computer running the CX-Integrator is connected directly to a network, the network

address and node can be specified to set any PLC on the local network or an
interconnected network as the relay PLC.
When running the CX-Integrator on Windows Vista or Window 7, an online connection
will not be possible to the relay PLC even if communications for one of these networks is
selected.
If FinsGateway is selected, connection will not be possible to a DeviceNet, CompoNet,
or CompoWay/F network. To connect to any of these networks, use Ethernet, Ethernet
(FINS/TCP), Controller Link, or SYSMAC LINK instead of FinsGateway.
Functions
A virtual network or virtual serial communications
configuration can be created offline and connected
device parameters can be set, and data can be
uploaded, downloaded, and compared when
online.
User-set data link tables can be created offline
and then transferred online to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Data link parameters can be set automatically
online and then transferred to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
A Controller Link Network Diagnostic Tool can be
started to diagnose Controller Link networks.
Broadcast node searches and ping tests are
enabled (with CX-Integrator Ver. 1.1 or higher).
Settings for an NS-series PT with a model number
ending in V1 or later serially connected to a
CS/CJ-series PLC via NT Link can be
automatically detected and set for the serial port of
the CS/CJ-series PLC. This is called NT Link Auto
Online Setting function.
Routing tables can be set offline and then
transferred online to CS/CJ-series PLCs.
Echoback tests between nodes are enabled (with
CX-Integrator Ver. 1.1 or higher).
