Channel Setup
Communications Parameters

Descriptions of the parameters are as follows:

l Port Number: This parameter specifies the port number that will be used by the devices on the local
Ethernet network. FINS requires that the source and destination port number be the same. The valid
range is 1 to 65535. The default setting is 9600.

Optimizing Communication Performance

Users can create multiple channels in the OPC server that utilize a unique port number to optimize
communication performance. Examples are as follows:

l Channel1.device1 will talk on Port 9601.

l Channel2.device2 will talk on Port 9602.
l CX programmer will talk on Port 9600.

Note: Communication to multiple physical devices (with different port numbers configured in the devices) from
the same channel in the OPC server is not allowed. This is because both the port number and adapter are
configured at the channel level.

Important: To communicate to the same device (or multiple physical devices with the same port number
configured in the devices) across multiple OPC server channels, the same port number must be used for each
channel. Each channel, however, must be configured to use a unique network adapter and IP. For more
information, refer to Multihoming.

Device Setup
Supported Devices
This driver supports the FINS protocol via UDP/IP. For a list of models that support the FINS Communications
Service, refer to the manufacturer's website.

Communication Protocol
Omron FINS using UDP/IP.

Note: This driver requires Winsock V1.1 or higher.

Device IDs
The Device ID specifies the IP address of the controller that is in direct contact with the host computer. This
controller may not necessarily be the destination device, but instead be a relay device. The destination device is
specified by its FINS network parameters. For all parameters specified in Device Properties (except the Device ID
when a relay device is used) refer to the destination device.

Source Network Address Number

This parameter specifies the network address number of the source device (which is the computer running this
driver). The Source Network Address Number is sometimes referred to as SNA in Omron FINS documentation.
The valid range is 0 to 127. Actual network numbers can range from 1 to 127. FINS interprets 0 as use the local
network; as such, 0 must not be used when data will be routed through gateway PLCs.
The default value for network addresses is zero. This is interpreted by FINS as instruction to use the local
network. Actual network numbers can range from 1 to 127. Using zero is convenient if there is only one network
level. When using gateway devices, however, specify the actual network number (1–127) to avoid routing
ambiguities.

Source Node Number

This parameter specifies the node number of the source device. The Source Node Number is sometimes referred
to as SA1 in Omron FINS documentation. The valid range is 0 to 254. If the destination PLC is configured to use
automatic address generation, then this number must be the host number portion of the host computer's IP
address.

For example, if the host computer has an IP of 111.222.333.123 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.000, the
source node number should be 123. If the target PLC is configured to use an address table, then the table must
have an entry for the host computer's IP. The node number in this table entry must agree with the source node
number entered for the driver.

Note: When a channel is duplicated using the Copy and Paste commands, the new channel will retain the original
channel's FINS network configuration parameters. Unless the Source Node Number is changed to a unique value,
however, correct data transmission cannot be guaranteed.

Destination Network Address Number

This parameter specifies the network address number of the destination device. The Destination Network
Address Number is sometimes referred to as DNA in Omron FINS documentation. The valid range is 0 to 127.
Actual network numbers can range from 1 to 127. FINS interprets 0 as use the local network; as such, 0 must not
be used when data will be routed through gateway PLCs.

Destination Node Number

This parameter specifies the node number of the destination device. The Destination Node Number is sometimes
referred to as DA1 in Omron FINS documentation. The valid range is 0 to 254.

Note: The source unit number SA2 is assumed to be 0.

Caution: Pay particular attention to the FINS network and node numbers configured for each device, as well as
the IP address calculation method used by the target PLCs. Inconsistent values will result in communications
problems. For example, when using the default Source and Destination Network Address of 0 (Local network),
the Destination Node Number and Source Node Number cannot be the same.

Destination Unit Number

This parameter specifies the device unit number, which is sometimes referred to as DA2. The valid range is 0 to
255. The default number for DA2 is 0.

Network Configuration

www. kepware.com
Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 7

For optimum reliability, care should be taken to properly isolate all cables and components from electrical noise.
Coaxial cables should have lengths of integral multiples of 2.5 meters up to a maximum of 500 meters.
Depending on the transceiver used, 10BASE-T twisted-pair cable can be substituted for 10BASE5 coax.

10BASE-T Cable (if used)

Transceiver Cable
All PLC to transceiver cabling should conform to the IEEE802.3 standards, where each of the three signal wire
pairs are individually shielded in addition to an external shield.

Communications Parameters

Description of the parameter is as follows:

l Request Size: This parameter specifies the number of bytes that may be requested from a device at one
time. To refine the driver's performance, set the request size to one of the following settings: 32, 64,
128, 256, 512, 1024, or 1984 bytes. The default setting is 512 bytes.

10 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

Run Mode Settings

Description of the parameter is as follows:

l Writing to CS and TS addresses in Run mode: This parameter specifies the driver's behavior when
the device makes writes while in Run mode. Options include Fail write and log message, Set PLC to Monitor
mode and perform write, and Set PLC to Monitor mode, write, reset to Run. The default setting is Fail write
and log message. Descriptions of the options are as follows:

l Fail write and log message: When selected, this option will fail the write and then post a
message to the Event Log.
l Set PLC to Monitor mode and perform write: When selected, the PLC will be set to Monitor
mode before performing the write.
l Set PLC to Monitor mode, write, reset to Run: When selected, the PLC will be set to Monitor
mode before performing the write. Once complete, the PLC will reset to Run mode.

FINS Network Configuration

The default value for network addresses is zero. This is interpreted by FINS as instruction to use the local
network. Actual network numbers can range from 1 to 127. Using zero is convenient if there is only one network
level. When using gateway devices, however, specify the actual network number (1–127) to avoid routing
ambiguities.

Descriptions of the parameters are as follows:

l Source Network Address Number: This parameter specifies the address number of the source
network. The default setting is 0.
l Source Node Number: This parameter specifies the number of the source node. The default setting is
the last octet of the network adapter specified in Channel Properties.
l Destination Network Address Number: This parameter specifies the address number of the
destination address. The default setting is 0.
l Destination Node Number: This parameter specifies the number of the destination node. The default
setting is the last octet specified in the Device ID. The correct setting value is obtained from the specific
Omron Ethernet module being accessed.
l Destination Unit Number: This parameter specifies the number of the destination unit. The default
setting is 0. The correct setting value is obtained from the specific Omron Ethernet module being
accessed.

Tip: Many Omron Ethernet modules have rotary switches for setting the Destination Node Number. Generally
there are two node number switches: x16 and x1. The switches can be difficult to read due to their small size and
because the arrow can appear to fall between numbers. It may be necessary to try several Destination Node
Numbers to confirm the correct one. For example; on the x16 switch, the arrow may appear between 9 and A
and, on the x1 switch, the arrow may appear between 2 and 3. The correct Destination Node Number is one of the
following numbers: 163 (for hex A3), 162 (for hex A2), 147 (for hex 93), or 146 (for hex 92).

Note: Misconfiguration of the network, in combination with some errors, can cause a Remote Network Error.

FINS Networks
The FINS communications service was developed by Omron to provide a consistent way for PLCs and computers
on various networks to communicate. Compatible network types include Ethernet, Host Link, Controller Link,
SYSMAC LINK, SYSMAC WAY, and Toolbus. FINS allows communications between nodes up to three network
levels. A direct connection between a computer and a PLC via Host Link is not considered a network level.

The diagram below shows a FINS network comprised of interconnected Ethernet and Controller Link networks,
and will serve as an example for the following discussion. FINS allows communication between any pair of devices
in the diagram. PLC 1 acts as a gateway between the two networks. The host PC sends a data request command
(shown in red) to PLC 3 via PLC 1. The response is shown in blue.

Note: In principle, PLC 3 or 4 could act as a gateway to a third network layer that could also be reached by the
host PC.

FINS Messages
FINS messages contain two parts: a header and a data portion. The header contains source and destination
information, among other things. The data portion contains command codes and optional command parameters.
The six source and destination parameters contained in the header are as follows:

l DNA: Destination Network Address.

l DA1: Destination Node Number.
l DA2: Destination Module Address.
l SNA: Source Network Address.
l SA1: Source Node Number.
l SA2: Source Module Address.

This driver will always set DA2 and SA2 to zero; meaning, communication will be between the host computer and
the destination node's CPU module.

Ethernet Communications
This driver is able to communicate with any FINS compatible device on an Ethernet network. The FINS device can
process a given FINS command if it is the destination node or relay the message to another device if it is not. In
the figure above, it is desired to send a data request from the host PC to PLC 3. The driver constructs a FINS
message with appropriate source and destination parameters set in the header, encapsulates that message in a
UDP/IP datagram, and then sends it off to PLC 1. The message cannot be sent directly to PLC 3 because it is not
on the same network as the PC. PLC 1 examines the FINS message header and determines that node 1 on network

www. kepware.com
Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 13

2 (which is PLC 3) is the intended destination. PLC 1 relays the FINS message to PLC 3. Since PLC 3 is not on an
Ethernet network, the UDP/IP wrapper is removed. PLC 3 then sends its reply back to the host PC via PLC 1.

A problem arises when PLC 1 must forward the reply from PLC 3 to the host PC. The reply from PLC 3 addresses
the destination using FINS network parameters only: it does not explicitly give the destination IP address. Omron
has devised three methods for a PLC to determine destination IPs from FINS network parameters. The method is
chosen when the PLC is configured and will determine what node numbers should be assigned to each device on
the Ethernet network. The three methods are Automatic Address Generation, IP Address Table, and Combined
Address Conversion. Descriptions of the methods are as follows:

l Automatic Address Generation: This method uses the relay device to construct the destination IP from
its own IP, the subnet mask, and the FINS destination node number. IP addresses are made up of two
parts: the network number (which is the same for all nodes on the local network) and the host number
(which is unique to each node on the local network). The Automatic Address Generation method requires
that the host number portion of each node's IP be the same as its FINS node number.

Note: In this example, PLC 1 would calculate the network number by first performing a logical AND
operation between its own IP address and subnet mask. In Boolean algebra terms, 130.25.36.2 AND
255.255.255.0 equals 130.25.36.0. The destination IP would then be calculated by adding the FINS
destination node number to the network number. For the Destination IP, 130.25.36.0 + 1 = 130.25.36.1.
l IP Address Table: This method uses an IP address table, which is a list of FINS node numbers and their
associated IP addresses. In this method, the host number portion of the IP address does not need to be
the same as the FINS node number. If used, the IP address tables must be programmed into the PLCs on
the Ethernet networks.
l Combined Address Conversion: This method uses a device to look up the FINS destination node
number in its IP address table. If the node number is found, the corresponding IP address will be taken
from the table and used to construct the UDP/IP datagram. If the node number is not found, the
destination IP will be computed using the Automatic Address Generation method.

Note: PLC 1 also needs to know on what port the host PC is listening. Since FINS requires that all nodes on an
Ethernet network listen on the same port number, the PLC will use the port number on which it has been
configured to listen.

Server Configuration Example

1. To start, create a channel that uses this driver to communicate with devices on the Ethernet network.
FINS requires that all nodes on an Ethernet network use the same port number to send and receive data.
For this example, use the default value 9600.

2. Next, create a device on that channel that represents the destination node. For this example, use PLC 3.

3. Set the Device ID, which must be the IP address of the PLC with which the driver will be in direct
communication. For this example, use PLC 1 (130.25.36.2).

Note: The Device ID should be the IP address of the destination device if that device is on the host PC's
local Ethernet network. This would be the case with PLC 2.

4. Next, set the FINS network parameters to identify the source (host PC ) and destination (PLC 3). In this
example, the settings are as follows:

l Source Network Address Number (SNA): 1.*

l Source Node Number (SA1): 1.

l Destination Network Address Number (DNA): 2.*

l Destination Node Number (DA1): 1.

*The default value for network addresses is zero. This is interpreted by FINS as instruction to use the
local network. Actual network numbers can range from 1 to 127. Using zero is convenient if there is only
one network level. When using gateway devices, however, specify the actual network number (1–127) to
avoid routing ambiguities.

Notes:

14 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

1. SA2 and DA2 are automatically set to zero by the driver.

2. Similar device objects would need to be created for PLC 1, 2, and 4.

Routing Tables
With multi-level networks, additional information must be programmed into the PLCs so they can send messages
to other nodes in the system. This is accomplished using FINS routing tables, which come in two types: Local and
Remote. Local routing tables associate a network number with one of the communication modules or Special
Input/Output Units (SIOU) installed in the PLC's rack. Remote routing tables give directions on how to reach one
of the next network levels. The routing tables for the given example would appear as shown below.

PLC 1 (Local)
Network Number Unit
1 2
2 1

There are two local networks for PLC 1. The Ethernet and Controller Link network numbers are assigned as 1 and
2, respectively. The Ethernet and Controller Link modules are assigned unit numbers 2 and 1, respectively. The
network node number of each of these modules is configured by the user and must be unique within its
associated network.

Note: Both of the communications modules in PLC 1 node 10 could have been called since they are on different
networks. There are no remote networks for PLC 1.

PLC 2 (Local)
Network Number Unit
1 1

PLC 2 has only one communications module: the Ethernet module, and only one entry in its local routing table.

PLC 2 (Remote)
Remote Network Number Relay Network Relay Node
2 1 2

Network 2 is a remote network for PLC 2. To send a message to a node on network 2, PLC 2 must send that
message to a relay node (the gateway) on one of its local networks. This local network is called the relay network
and must be network 1 in the given example. The Ethernet module in the gateway (PLC 1) is node number 2.
Therefore, the relay node for PLC 2 is 2.

Likewise, routing tables for PLC 3 and 4 must appear like the following. They happen to be the same in the given
example because the Controller Link modules in both PLCs are unit number 1. These modules must be assigned
node numbers that are unique in network 2.

PLC 3 and 4 (Local)

Network Number Unit
2 1

PLC 3 and 4 (Remote)

Remote Network Number Relay Network Relay Node

Duplicate Devices
It is generally recommended that the communications load be distributed over multiple channels. Significant
performance gains can be achieved since the Windows operation system allows each channel to operate on an
independent thread. The idea is to have as few devices on each channel as possible, so that no one device can
significantly impact the update rate of the others. For more information, refer to Optimizing Your Omron FINS
Ethernet Communications.

Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 15

Although it is not usually advantageous to create multiple server device objects that communicate with a single
physical device, it is necessary to do so when using a multi-level FINS network. In the example above, device
objects are needed for PLC 3 and PLC 4. The driver will actually be in direct communications with PLC 1. This
means that the device number configured for both device objects must be the IP address of PLC 1. With most
Ethernet drivers, this sort of thing is perfectly safe. Because FINS requires that all nodes on an Ethernet network
use the same port number to send and receive data, however, a problem arises.

If the device objects for PLC 3 and 4 were created on the same channel, everything will work fine. Users will
encounter the problem when attempting to improve performance by placing the device objects on separate
channels. It is important to know that this driver will give each one of these channels an Ethernet
communications socket. For example, if the host PC has only one IP associated with it, then both of these sockets
must use that IP as its source address and both of these sockets will need to use the same port number according
to the FINS protocol. If the driver allowed users to do this, the UDP/IP datagrams from PLC 1 would contain the
same source and destination address information (where source is 130.25.36.2/9600 and destination is
130.25.36.1/9600) regardless of the intended destination device object. Users cannot be guaranteed that the
operating system will send the datagrams to the correct socket if both happen to be waiting for responses from
PLC 3 and 4. The only way to remove the ambiguity is to associate each channel/socket with a unique IP address.

To associate a unique IP address with each channel, users must multihome the host computer. This means that
the computer must have multiple NICs installed or users must associate multiple IP addresses with a single NIC.
Things will work if both devices are on the same channel because all transactions are carried out serially on a
given channel. It doesn't matter if the source and destination addresses (IP/port) in responses from PLC 3 and 4
look the same because the socket will be waiting for a response from only one PLC at a time. This is only relevant
when multi-level FINS networks are being used.

Caution: Pay particular attention to the FINS network and node numbers configured for each device, as well as
the IP address calculation method being used by the target PLCs. Inconsistent values will result in
communications problems.

Note: For more information on FINS networking, refer to Omron documentation.

16 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

Multihoming
Some applications require users to associate a unique IP address with each channel. In these cases, the host
computer must be multihomed; meaning, it must be configured to have more than one IP address. This may be
accomplished by installing multiple Network Adapter Cards (NIC) in the computer or by assigning multiple IP
addresses to a single NIC.

Adding IP Addresses to a Single NIC on Windows NT

1. To start, click My Computer | Control Panel | Network.

2. Click the Protocols tab and then select TCP/IP Protocol.

3. Next, click Properties and then select the IP Address tab.

4. Click Advanced | Add.

5. Enter the additional IP address and subnet mask.

6. Click OK.

Adding IP Addresses to a Single NIC on Windows XP and 2003

1. To start, click My Computer | Control Panel | Network and Dial-Up Connections.

2. Click Local Area Connection (or any other icon associated with the NIC of interest).

3. Next, click Properties and then select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

4. Click Properties | Advanced.

5. Select the IP Settings tab and then click Add.

6. Enter the additional IP address and subnet mask.

7. Click OK.

Adding IP Addresses to a Single NIC on Windows Vista, 2008, and 7

1. Click Start and then open Network Connections.

2. Next, click Control Panel | Network and Internet. Then, select the connection that will be changed
(such as the Local Area Connection).

3. Click Properties, and then provide the administrator password or confirmation (if prompted).

4. Select the Networking tab. Beneath This connection uses the following items, click Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).

5. Next, click Properties. Ensure that the connection is set to use an IP address by clicking Use the
following IP address.

6. Next, specify the IP address settings in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway fields.

7. To add a second IP address, click Advanced | IP Settings. Beneath IP Address, click Add. Then, enter
a new IP address and subnet mask.

Note 1: Windows NT can add up to five IP addresses for each NIC via the control panel. More IP addresses can
be added to the registry manually as necessary. To browse, look under HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SYSTEM |
CurrentControlSet | Services. Then, select the service associated with the adapter card in question. Under
the service, go to the Parameters | TCPIP subkey. Add the IP addresses to IPAddress and then edit
SubnetMask and add an entry for each new IP address.

Note 2: There will be additional operating system overhead when running on a multihomed system. Unless
users are using very fast devices, this overhead should not entirely cancel out the performance gain achieved
from distributing the communications load over multiple channels.

Optimizing Omron FINS Ethernet Communications

The Omron FINS Ethernet Driver has been designed to provide the best performance with the least amount of
impact on the system's overall performance. These guidelines that can be used to optimize the application and
gain maximum performance.

The server refers to communications protocols like Omron FINS Ethernet as a channel. Each channel defined in
the application represents a separate path of execution in the server. Once a channel has been defined, a series
of devices must then be defined under that channel. Each of these devices represents a single Omron FINS
Ethernet controller from which data will be collected. While this approach to defining the application will provide
a high level of performance, it won't take full advantage of the Omron FINS Ethernet Driver or the network. An
example of how the application may appear when configured using a single channel is shown below.

Each device appears under a single Omron FINS Ethernet channel. In this
configuration, the driver must move from one device to the next as quickly
as possible to gather information at an effective rate. As more devices are
added or more information is requested from a single device, the overall
update rate begins to suffer.

If the Omron FINS Ethernet Driver could only define one single channel, then the example shown above would be
the only option available; however, the Omron FINS Ethernet Driver can define up to 512 channels. Using
multiple channels distributes the data collection workload by simultaneously issuing multiple requests to the
network. An example of how the same application may appear when configured using multiple channels to
improve performance is shown below.

Each device has now been defined under its own channel. In this new
configuration, a single path of execution is dedicated to the task of
gathering data from each device. If the application has 512 or fewer
devices, it can be optimized exactly how it is shown here.
The performance will improve even if the application has more than 512
devices. While 512 or fewer devices may be ideal, the application will still
benefit from additional channels. Although by spreading the device load
across all channels will cause the server to move from device to device
again, it can now do so with far less devices to process on a single channel.

The Device Request Size parameter can also affect the Omron FINS Ethernet Driver's performance. The request
size refers to the number of bytes that may be requested from a device at one time. If data is being read from a
large number of contiguous addresses, it may be advantageous to use a large request size. To refine the
performance of this driver, the request size may be configured from 32 to 512 bytes for each device.

Important: If using a multi-leveled FINS network, multiple device objects may need to be created in the server
that will all be in direct communication with the same gateway PLC. Since FINS requires all nodes on an Ethernet
network to use the same port number to send and receive data, this driver must impose some constraints that
become relevant when distributing the communications load over multiple channels. For more information, refer
to Channel Setup.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50
IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The C200H model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using data
memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at DM1000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
DM1000.100H

2. To address a string starting at DM1100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
DM1100.078L

3. To address a string starting at DM2000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
DM2000.055D

4. To address a string starting at DM2200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
DM2200.037E

Array Support

www. kepware.com
Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 23

Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean. There are two methods of addressing an array. Examples
are given using data memory locations.

DMxxxx [rows] [cols]

DMxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords DM0 and DM1 overlap at word DM1.
Writing to DM0 will also modify the value held in DM1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so
that overlapping does not occur. For example, when using DWords, users may want to use DM0, DM2, DM4, and
so on to prevent overlapping Words.

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values. Unsigned BCD support is
accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the BCD and LBCD data types.
The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example:
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50
IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The C1000H model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using data
memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to

use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at DM1000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
DM1000.100H

2. To address a string starting at DM1100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:

3. To address a string starting at DM2000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
DM2000.055D

4. To address a string starting at DM2200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
DM2200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean. There are two methods of addressing an array. Examples
are given using data memory locations.

DMxxxx [rows] [cols]

DMxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords DM0 and DM1 overlap at word DM1.
Writing to DM0 will also modify the value held in DM1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so
that overlapping does not occur. For example, when using DWords, use DM0, DM2, DM4, and so on, to prevent
overlapping Words.

*Arrays are not supported.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values. Unsigned BCD support is
accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the BCD and LBCD data types.
The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50

www. kepware.com
40 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The CV1000 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using data
memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at D01000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D01000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D01100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
D01100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D02000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
D02000.055D

4. To address a string starting at D02200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
D02200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean, Data Register, Index Register, and Step Timer. There are
two methods of addressing an array. Examples are given using data memory locations.

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords D0 and D1 overlap at word D1. Writing to
D0 will also modify the value held in D1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so that overlapping
does not occur. For example, when using DWords, use D0, D2, D4, and so on to prevent overlapping Words.

*Arrays are not supported.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50
IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support

www. kepware.com
48 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

The CVM1-CPU01 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using
data memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at D1000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D1000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D1100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter: D1100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D2000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
D2000.055D

4. To address a string starting at D2200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
D2200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean, Data Register, and Index Register. There are two methods
of addressing an array. Examples are given using data memory locations.

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords DM0 and DM1 overlap at word DM1.
Writing to DM0 will also modify the value held in DM1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so
that overlapping does not occur. For example, when using DWords, use DM0, DM2, DM4, and so on to prevent
overlapping Words.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50
IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The CVM1-CPU11 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using
data memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from

has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at D01000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D01000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D01100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
D01100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D02000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:

4. To address a string starting at D02200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:

52 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords DM0 and DM1 overlap at word DM1.
Writing to DM0 will also modify the value held in DM1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so
that overlapping does not occur. For example, when using DWords, use DM0, DM2, DM4, and so on to prevent
overlapping Words.

*Arrays are not supported.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
IR0D @ Short = -50
IR0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
IR0 @ BCD = 8050

IR0D @ Short = 50
IR0D @ Word = 50
IR0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The CVM1-CPU21 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using
data memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples

56 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

1. To address a string starting at D01000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D01000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D01100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
D01100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D02000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
D02000.055D

4. To address a string starting at D02200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
D02200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean, Data Register, and Index Register. There are two methods
of addressing an array. Examples are given using data memory locations.

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Note: Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these
data types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. DWords DM0 and DM1 overlap at word DM1.
Writing to DM0 will also modify the value held in DM1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so
that overlapping does not occur. For example, when using DWords, use DM0, DM2, DM4, and so on to prevent
overlapping Words.

CS1 Addressing
The default data types for dynamically defined tags are shown in bold. For more information, refer below the
table for notes and restrictions on BCD Support, String Support, and Array Support.

*Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these data
types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. Therefore, DWords D0 and D1 overlap at word D1 and
writing to D0 will also modify the value held in D1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so that
overlapping does not occur. When using DWords, users may want to use D0, D2, D4, and so on to prevent
overlapping Words. The exception to this is IR tags, which are native 32-bit values with MSB to LSB byte ordering
for the CS1-series PLCs.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

www. kepware.com
60 Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
D0D @ Short = -50
D0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
D0 @ BCD = 8050

D0D @ Short = 50
D0D @ Word = 50
D0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The CS1 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using data
memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at D01000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D01000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D01100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
D01100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D02000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
D02000.055D

4. To address a string starting at D02200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
D02200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean. There are two methods of addressing an array. Examples
are given using data memory locations.

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256. 

Writing to CS, TS, DR, and IR Registers

www. kepware.com
Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 61

CS and TS registers can be written to only when the device is in Monitor Mode or Programming Mode. DR and IR
registers can be written to only when the device is in Programming Mode. CS, TS, DR, and IR registers cannot be
written to in Run Mode. If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to one of these registers, the value in
the device will not change. The following will occur:

l If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to a CS or TS register, an "unable to write" error
message will be returned.
l If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to a DR or IR register, the write will succeed.
Although no error message will be returned, the value in the device will not change because the device
is in Run Mode.

CJ1 Addressing
The default data types for dynamically defined tags are shown in bold. For more information, refer below the

*Use caution when modifying 32-bit values (DWord, Long, LBCD, and Float). Each address for which these data
types are allowed starts at a word offset within the device. Therefore, DWords D0 and D1 overlap at word D1 and
writing to D0 will also modify the value held in D1. It is recommended that users utilize these data types so that
overlapping does not occur. When using DWords, users may want to use D0, D2, D4, and so on to prevent
overlapping Words. The exception to this is IR tags, which are native 32-bit values with MSB to LSB byte ordering
for the CJ1-series PLCs.

BCD Support
16-bit and 32-bit data can be referenced as signed and unsigned BCD values.

Unsigned BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Word or DWord tag address or by using the
BCD and LBCD data types. The value range is as follows:

Word as unsigned BCD

0 - 9999

DWord as unsigned BCD

0 - 99999999

Signed BCD support is accomplished by appending a 'D' to any Short or Long tag address. The most significant
bit of the Short/Long is set to 1 for negative values, 0 for positive values. The value range is as follows:

Short as signed BCD

+/-7999

Long as signed BCD

+/-79999999

Example
D0D @ Short = -50
D0D @ Word = 8050 (MSB set)
D0 @ BCD = 8050

D0D @ Short = 50
D0D @ Word = 50
D0 @ BCD = 50

Note: Boolean, Float, and String data types do not support appending 'D' to the tag address. Furthermore, 'D'
cannot be appended to BCD or LBCD tags, or tags with a default data type of BCD or LBCD (such as Counter and
Timer tags).

String Support
The CJ1 model supports reading and writing numerous device types as an ASCII string. When using data
memory for string data, each register will contain two bytes (two characters) of ASCII data. The order of the
ASCII data within a given register can be selected when the string is defined. The length of the string can be from
2 to 512 characters and is entered in place of a bit number. The string length cannot exceed the request size that
has been assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string
length cannot exceed 512. The length must be entered as an even number. The range of registers spanned by
the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte order is specified by appending either a "H" or "L"
to the address.

When using one byte of ASCII data per register, the length of the string can be from 1 to 256 characters and is
entered in place of a bit number. The string length times 2 cannot exceed the request size that has been
assigned to the device up to a request size of 512. For request size values greater than 512, string length cannot
exceed 256. The range of registers spanned by the string cannot exceed the range of the device type. The byte to
use within a register is specified by appending either a "D" or "E" to the address. For more information, refer to
Device Setup.

Examples
1. To address a string starting at D01000 with a length of 100 bytes and HiLo byte order, enter:
D01000.100H

2. To address a string starting at D01100 with a length of 78 bytes and LoHi byte order, enter:
D01100.078L

3. To address a string starting at D02000 with a length of 55 bytes and Only the High Order byte, enter:
D02000.055D

4. To address a string starting at D02200 with a length of 37 bytes and Only the Low Order byte, enter:
D02200.037E

Array Support
Arrays are supported for all data types except Boolean. There are two methods of addressing an array. Examples
are given using data memory locations.

Dxxxx [rows] [cols]

Dxxxx [cols]*

*This method assumes that "rows" is equal to one.

Rows multiplied by cols multiplied by data size in bytes (2 for Word, Short, and BCD; 4 for DWord, Long, LBCD,
and Float) cannot exceed the request size that has been assigned to the device. For example, a 10 X 10 array of
words results in an array size of 200 bytes, which would require a request size of at least 256.

Writing to CS, TS, DR, and IR Registers

CS and TS registers can be written to only when the device is in Monitor Mode or Programming Mode. DR and IR
registers can be written to only when the device is in Programming Mode. CS, TS, DR, and IR registers cannot be
written to in Run Mode. If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to one of these registers, the value in
the device will not change. The following will occur:

l If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to a CS or TS register, an "unable to write" error
message will be returned.
l If the device is in Run Mode and a write is attempted to a DR or IR register, the write will succeed.
Although no error message will be returned, the value in the device will not change because the device
is in Run Mode.

CJ2 Addressing
The default data types for dynamically defined tags are shown in bold. For more information, refer below the
table for notes and restrictions on BCD Support, String Support, and Array Support.

The current project was created with an older version of this driver. Examine
device properties to validate network parameters.
Error Type:
Warning

Possible Cause:
The current project was created using a version of this driver that checked for network parameter conflicts
during runtime. This version only performs runtime checks on parameters that can be changed with system
tags. All other parameters are now checked when Device Properties are edited.

Solution:
Examine the properties of each device. Change the value of any property and then change it back to its original
value to alter the property sheet. Then, click "Accept" or "OK" to validate all of the network parameters associated
with the device. Once the devices are validated, save the project.

Note:
This solution will not have to be repeated. Any new devices that are added to the project will be validated
automatically.

Flags
There are specific flags in the end code word (bits 6, 7, and 15) that may also be ON. The following dialog
displays the contents of the end code word.

If bit 6 or 7 is ON, an error has occurred in the destination CPU unit. If this occurs, refer to the operation manuals
for the CPU unit where the error occurred and then remove the cause of the error.

www. kepware.com
Omron FINS Ethernet Driver Help 83

If bit 15 is ON, an error has occurred during a network relay operation. The end code contains an additional two-
byte (one word) network relay error code that can be used to determine the location of the relay error. The
following diagram displays the response data of a network relay error. This information can be used to determine
the node where the error occurred so that appropriate measures may be taken.

Remote Network Error

When using gateway devices; if there is a break in communications on the Remote FINS network, it is
advantageous to set the device into error state (particularly if using Media Level Redundancy).

The following conditions and configuration, when they occur, are considered a remote network error and the
device enters error state.

1. Network Relay Error bit in end code word is set.

2. Main code (MRES) in end code word equals destination node error (02).

3. The device FINS network configuration source network address number or destination network address
number parameters have a value of 1 to 127, which indicates a remote network address.
