FS-8704-16 Omron FINS Manual Page 1 of 37 1. Omron FINS Description The Ethernet Omron FINS driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using Omron FINS protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. FINS is an Omron protocol which can be used by a PLC program to transfer data and perform other services with a remote PLC connected on an Ethernet Network. It can also be used by remote devices such as PC’s and FieldServer’s

Setting the Node Number With the FINS communications service, when there are multiple Ethernet Units connected to the Ethernet network, the Ethernet Units are identified by node numbers. Use the node number switches to set the node number between 01 and 7E hexadecimal (1 to 126 decimal). Do not set a number that has already been set for ano

The following settings cannot be made for the IP address, or the ERC indicator will flash. All bits in the network number field set to 0 or 1. All bits in the host number field set to 0 or 1. All bits in the subnet number field set to 1. The beginning of the IP address set to 127 (7F Hex) Example: 127.3

The following Map Descriptor creates a task for the driver to read the first 20 Words from the CIO memory area and store them in the Data Array DA_CIO. The first word from the PLC will be stored as the first element in the Data Array. Whenever an upstream device writes any element in the Data Array

The write is done when the contents of the Data Array are updated (written to by a remote device.). In the previous example, it was shown how a ‘read’ Map Descriptor can also be used to write by using FIeldServer’s Write-Through technology.
