[. . . ] W366-E1-09 SYSMAC WS02-SIMC1-E CX-Simulator Ver. 1. 9 OPERATION MANUAL SYSMAC WS02-SIMC1-E CX-Simulator Ver. 1. 9 Operation Manual Revised February 2009 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. [. . . ] Refer to 6-1 Outline of Network Communications for details. ) Thus the slave initiation function can be checked by connecting the COM port on the computer to another computer. Slave initiation Program Access via No-protocol No-protocol communications are available for connecting a barcode reader, etc. , allowing to process data read from a barcode reader in more practical way. 5-3-3 Precautions in Using Serial Communications Using Programmable Terminal via NT Link Even when connecting a PT via NT Link, the Programming Console function and Device Monitoring function are not available. In addition, use a PT with a version of NT31/631-V2 or higher. When connecting a PT with the previous version, select Host Link as the communications protocol. FINS Command addressed to Serial Port In the CX-Simulator's FINS communications, only a command addressed to the CPU Unit is accepted. FINS communications addressed to the serial port of individual Ladder Engines are not available. Changing Communications Protocol during [Work CX-Simulator] When the communications protocol has been changed by the CX-Programmer's PLC Setup settings, etc. , be sure to once [Disconnect] and then [Connect] again. The newly set protocol becomes effective after the [Connect]. 128 Serial Communications Connection When Serial Communications on the CX-Simulator Become Disabled Section 5-3 When Serial Communications on the CX-Simulator become disabled, for example, when the RS-232C Port Error Flag (A39204) in the Auxiliary area turns ON while executing serial communications on the CX-Simulator, either press [Reset] button in the [Debug Console], or once [Disconnect] and then [Connect] again. 129 Connecting PT via NT Link Section 5-4 5-4 Connecting PT via NT Link The diagram below illustrates how to connect OMRON's Programmable Terminal (PT) via NT Link. PT PT 1, 2, 3. . . Set to NT Link (1:N) the communications protocol setting for the Ladder Engine's port used by the CX-Programmer. Only the RS-232C port of the CPU Unit (Unit No. : 00H) can be changed using the CX-Programmer's PLC Setup setting. Otherwise, directly change the corresponding DM values from the PLC memory window, etc. Select [Status] | [Settings] | [Serial communications settings] to display [Serial communications settings] window. Select the Serial port of the Serial Communications Unit to be used, followed by pressing the [Edit] button to display [Serial communications registration] window. Set the Communications Setting to [Actual communications] to select a COM port name. Note Do not select a COM port name that overlaps with the one allocated in actual communications or the Serial Data File. Press the [OK] button to exit the [Serial communications registration] window and to return to the [Serial communications settings] window. Confirm the communications settings and the COM port name are identical to the contents set in procedure 5 to press the [OK] button. For the communications settings on the PT, set as Protocol: NT Link (1:N), Unit No. : 0, Communications speed: Standard. Note If a COM port used by the PT's support tool overlaps with the one used by the CX-Simulator, downloading may fail in the [Connect] status. After [Disconnect], download by the support tool. After completing setting on the PT, [Connect] to perform actual communications via NT Link. Note In the NT Link communications, I/O memory values are read/written from/to the PT halfway during the Ladder Engine's scanning because the communications are executed asynchronously to the Ladder Engine. 130 Examples of Serial Communications Debugging Section 5-5 5-5 Examples of Serial Communications Debugging 5-5-1 Procedure for Debugging Serial Communications Instructions 1, 2, 3. . . Set the communications settings of serial communications to "-" to debug the portions unrelated to serial communications. Setting] window by [Status] | [Settings] | [Serial Comm. Set the communications settings for all the Serial Communications Units to "-. " 2. Set the communications settings of serial communications to "Messages" to display send messages through actual serial communications. Check the contents of the send messages. Setting] window by [Status] | [Settings] | [Serial Comm.
