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 CX-Process Monitor Plus tags.
4. Generate the CX-Process Monitor Plus tag file.
5. Download the function block data to the Loop Controller.
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 Set-
tings/Change PLC) for communications with the PLC. The communications
settings for the CX-Process Monitor Plus and thus made from the CX-Process
Tool.
Note The CX-Process Monitor and CX-Process Monitor Plus use FinsGateway as the
communications driver for connections with the PLC. When using the CX-Pro-
cess Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus, always set FinsGateway as the com-
munications driver for the CX-Process Tool. If the CX-Server is set, the CX-Pro-
cess Monitor or CX-Process Monitor Plus will not be able to go online with the
PLC.
