CJ1-H/CJ1M CPU Unit Ver. 2.0 Upgrades Section 1-6
PLC Setup
Usage The system can be configured so that a PLC can be written only from autho-
rized nodes in the network. (For example, use this function when the system's
control/monitoring computer is the only node allowed to write to a Controller
within a piece of equipment.)
By limiting the number of nodes that can write to the PLC, it is possible to pre-
vent system problems caused by unintentional overwrites during data moni-
toring.

FINS write protection. Up to 32 
nodes can be specified.
Note These settings are effective 
only when FINS write pro-
tection is enabled.

00 to 07
Contains the number of nodes that 
are not subject to the FINS write 
protection.
If 0 is specified (no nodes 
excluded from write protection), 
FINS write commands are prohib-
ited from all nodes other than the 
local node.
Note This setting is effective only 
when FINS write protection 
is enabled.

(A value of 0 indi-
cates that all nodes 
are subject to write 
protection.)

(All nodes subject to 
write protection.)
