Searching modules on the network
For a connection using an industrial switch, a list of modules that can be searched for will appear by clicking the [Find] button
on the detailed setting window.
Search target modules are as follows.
• FX5 CPU module connected to the same industrial switch as the engineering tool
• FX5 CPU module connected to a cascade-connected industrial switch
If the connected FX5-CCLGN-MS does not appear in the list after searching for the modules on the network, check the
following items.
• Search cannot be performed if it is disabled with the IP filter.
• Modules connected via a router cannot be searched for.
• If modules with the same IP address are listed, correct the setting of the IP address in "Network Configuration Settings"
under "Basic Settings" of the master station.
• If the service processing load of the search-target FX5 CPU module is high, a search for the corresponding module may not
be performed. If the search cannot be performed, increase the response waiting time in the search dialog, and execute the
search again.
Connection with SLMP-compatible devices
SLMP-compatible devices (such as a personal computer or a vision sensor) are connected to the FX5-CCLGN-MS.
For details on SLMP, refer to the following.
SLMP Reference Manual
• To execute communications using SLMP, set the same communication speed for the connected station and
access destination. If the communication speed differs between the connected station and access
destination, when communications using SLMP are executed, the communications may not be performed.
• When the system configuration is mixed with an Ethernet device, there are restrictions for the network
topology and connection destination of the Ethernet device. ( Page 64 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION)
