  • Personal Computer Ethernet setting by IP Address and Subnet Mask.
  • Ethernet Unit: IP Address, Node No., Unit No.
  • CX-Programmer and CS1 Programmable Controller is connected with Tool bus Cable.
  • CX-Programmer I/O table Window: Unit Setting (CPU bus unit System Setting) is required to be set for Ethernet [IP Address Conversion] by Automatic generation, [Sub net mask] is set.
  • 5. CX-Programmer (CX-Net): FINS Local Routing table is created and transferred to CS1.
  • 6. Personal Computer issues PING Command to check if Ethernet connection is OK.
  • 7. CX-Programmer Communication Setting
    1) Personal Computer Model Change / [Network Type] is set [Ethernet].
    2) Click [Setting], set FINS destination address [Network] / [Node]
    (Node = Ethernet Unit Node Number, Network = Network address set in Routing table)
    3) Check Automatic generation method at [Driver] tab / Workstation node Address. Port Number = 9600.
