OmronFINS implements communication with CS/CJ/CP-series CPU Unit or NSJ devices that are compatible with FINS. It operates as a Master on UDP or serial networks. The communications blocks are dynamically created according to the pooling cycle defined on the AccessType for each Device Point.


 This driver allows only to READ the channels, not write.

Channel Configuration

Protocol Options

Mode: Determines the compatible equipment:

  • CS1: CS/CJ series compatible

  • CV: CV/CVM1 series compatible

Network: Represents the FINS network. This information is related to the Master

Node: Represents the computer Node in the FINS network. If the number 0 is specified, the driver assumes the last octet of the IP Address as the Node number (for UDP Interface)

Ignore Non Fatal Error: Indicates the driver's behavior when the PLC returns a non fatal error status of 64:

  • True: If it returns a Success with the 64 error code, set the tag quality to GOOD

  • False: If it returns a Failed with the 64 error code, set the tag quality to BAD




Node Configuration

PrimaryStation Configuration

Serial channels

Station syntax: <Network>;<Node>;<Unit Id>

Where:

  • <Network> = Represents the FINS network where the device is located

  • <Node> = Represents the device Node number in the FINS network

  • <Unit Id> = Represents the Device ID in the FINS network

E.g.: 0;1;0


UDP channels

Station syntax:<IP address>;<Port>;<Network>;<Node>

Where :

  • <IP address> = The IP address of the device in the network

  • <Port> = The UDP port where the device is listening (default is 9600)

  • <Network> = Represents the FINS network where the device is located

  • <Node> = Represents the Device Node number in the FINS network

E.g.: 192.168.1.101;9600;1;0


Note

Note: When using multiple nodes, the UDP port must be different for each Node.




Point Configuration

The syntax for the OmronFins communication points is: <Memory Area>:<Address>

For more information about the valid operands, see OmronFINS Communication Driver ReadOnly Supported Operands.

E.g.:

  • CA:0 Memory Area = CA, Address = 0

  • CIO:20 Memory Area = CIO, Address = 20

  • EM0:1 Memory Area = Extended Memory 0, Address = 1

  • EM6:1 Memory Area = Extended Memory 6, Address = 1
