[. . . ] D-V3 CS/CJ/CP/NSJ Series CX-Integrator Ver. 2. 3 Operation Manual Revised February 2009 iv Notice: OMRON products are manufactured for use according to proper procedures by a qualified operator and only for the purposes described in this manual. The following conventions are used to indicate and classify precautions in this manual. Always heed the information provided with them. [. . . ] The routing tables will be read through the network from each PLC and displayed. Note Before executing Option Menu operations such as transferring, deleting, or verifying a node's routing tables, check the node's connection status by clicking the Network Tab and checking the node's icon in the project workspace. When the CX-Integrator is connected to a PLC on an Ethernet network, it may not be possible to read the routing tables from nodes other than the connected PLC. In this case, directly connect the CX-Integrator to the PLC to read and edit the local routing table. 3-34 3-3 Maintenance after Network Configuration 3-3-2 Editing the FINS Local Network Tables Editing Routing Tables that Were Read 1. Click the Table View Tab and edit the local network table and relay network table. Transferring Edited Routing Tables 1. Specify each node (in the same network) and select Options ­ Transfer to PLC. The routing tables will be transferred to each PLC through the network. Saving the FINS Network Routing Table File 1. Select File ­ Save Network Routing Table File in the PLC Routing Table Window. Input the filename, specify the directory where the file will be saved, and click the Save Button. Note When transferring the routing tables to a PLC, all CPU Bus Units in that node will be reset except for SYSMAC BUS/2 Masters. Verify that there will be no adverse effects on the system's equipment before transferring the routing tables. 3-35 3-3 Maintenance after Network Configuration 3-3-2 Editing the FINS Local Network Tables 3-36 Communications Section 4 Data Links for Controller Link and SYSMAC LINK This section describes how to set data links for Controller Link and SYSMAC LINK networks. 4-1 4-1-1 Overview What Are Data Links? 4-1 4-1-1 Overview What Are Data Links? Data links automatically exchange data in preset areas between nodes (PLCs and/or computers) on a network. Settings can be made either manually or automatically. CX-Integrator operations can be used for all operations from setting up the PLC network to controlling data exchange. Manual Settings Manual settings enable more flexible allocations, including the send size for each node, the sequence of nodes for sending and receiving, and the setting of nodes for sending only or receiving only. Use manual settings to create flexible data links to meet the requirements of the individual system (e. g. , efficient utilization of memory, restrictions on allocated addresses, etc. ). Data link tables (i. e. , tables that define data link area allocations) are generated by CX-Integrator or network support software (such as Controller Link Support Software), and sent to all nodes for use. Automatic Settings Automatic settings can be used for simple data exchanges involving fixed allocations, when all nodes are set for the same send size and the same data is to be shared among all nodes in order of node address. Using a Programming Device (such as the CX-Programmer or a Programming Console), set the data exchange method in the DM parameter area of the startup node. 4-2 4-1 4-1-2 Overview Overview of Procedure by Data Link Setting Method 4-1-2 Overview of Procedure by Data Link Setting Method Step 1: Selecting the Data Link Setting Method Either of the following methods can be used. 1) Select either user-set data links or automatically set data links after selecting Online - Automatic Data Link Setup from the Data Link Component. 2) Directly set the software switches in the allocated DM Area words. Note: The settings in the DM Area can also be made from the Special I/O Unit settings in the I/O Table Window for CX-Programmer Ver. 6. 0 or higher. Right-click the Controller Link Unit or SYSMAC LINK Unit in the I/O Table Window, select Unit Setup from the popup menu, and then select Data Link mode from the Edit Parameters Dialog Box. Controller Link Unit: Select Manual setting, Automatic setting (equality layout), or Automatic setting (1:N allocation) SYSMAC LINK Unit: Manual setting, Automatic setting (CIO Area only), Automatic setting (DM Area only), or Automatic setting (CIO + DM Areas). Place the CX-Programmer online and transfer the parameters to the PLCs. (The Compare Button can be clicked to set the parameters which verifying against the setting data in the actual PLCs. Step 2: Data Link Allocation Area Settings Manual: Automatic: Select Table - Wizard from the Data Link Component online or select File - New, create the data link tables, and then go online and transfer the tables to all nodes in the network. [. . . ] For the I/O connections and I/O size of the device, refer to the operation manual of the device. The device will be added to the Hardware List. Note Device parameters cannot be set with the EDS file creation function of the CX-Integrator. Obtain a proper EDS file from the manufacturer of the device to make device parameter settings for the device.
