Specify the FINS address filter if filtering by the FINS address.
Some FINS addresses for application programs on the computer change
dynamically (FINS addresses of the CX-Programmer change, also.). So usu-
ally use the CX-Simulator in the default setting (FINS address =*.*.*: All
nodes).
When adding items to the list of FINS address filter, input the FINS address to
be added (the network address, node address, and Machine address (Unit
address)) and its name (tentative) followed by the [Add] button.
In specifying the address, an "*" can also be specified. For example, if an "*" is
specified for the Machine address setting, the FINS command to/from the
specified address will be saved as the command log.
When deleting the items in the list of FINS address filter, select the item to be
deleted in the list and click the [Delete] button.
Specify the FINS command filter when filtering by the FINS command. Filtering
is performed by comparing the character string data (hex) from the top of the
FINS command. For example, when writing to the EM area (common), the
filtering pattern will be 01012, saving 010121 (EM area write (Bank 1), 01012A
(EM area write (Bank 10), etc. to the Command Log File.
Refer to List of Usable FINS Command Filters and Data Replay Possible/Not
possible for usable FINS command filters and whether the saved data is pos-
sible to be replayed or not.
When adding items to the list of FINS command filter, select the items to be
added (FINS command name) in the dropdown list of the FINS command filter.
When deleting items from the list of FINS command filter, select the items to be
deleted in the list and click the [Delete] button of the FINS command filter.
Note At least one FINS address/command filter must be set respectively to create
the command log. An error will not occur in the Data Replay Tool even if a filter
that can not be replayed is set.
Note The details for FINS commands are given in the Communications Commands
Reference Manual.
Note The upper limit of the command log file size is 30 MB. If exceeded, the log
data will not be saved after that.
