The following six steps must be performed on the CX-Process Tool to pass
tag data to the CX-Process Monitor Plus.
1. Set the network address, node address, and unit address.
2. Register and connect the function blocks that exchange data with the CX-
Process Monitor Plus.
3. Set the CSV tags and the tags for Monitor Plus.
4. Generate the tag file for Monitor Plus.
5. Download the function block data to the Loop Control Unit/Board.
6. Compile the monitor tag files.
The CX-Process Monitor Plus uses the network address, node address, and
unit address set using the CX-Process Tool (Settings/Network Settings or
Settings/Change PLC) for communications with the PLC. The communica-
tions settings for the CX-Process Monitor Plus and thus made from the CX-
Process Tool.
The CX-Process Monitor and CX-Process Monitor Plus use FinsGateway as
the communications driver for connections with the PLC. When using the CX-
Process Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus, always set FinsGateway as the
communications driver for the CX-Process Tool. If the CX-Server is set, the
CX-Process Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus will not be able to go online
with the PLC.
