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.
Summary
Omron Master – using FINS Commands – UDP and RS232.

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: 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 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
