For a direct serial connection, the FINS destination network and node addresses
are normally displayed as 0.
For direct network connections, any FINS destination network (1 to 127) and
node addresses can be set. (If routing tables are registered in the PLCs on the
networks, specifying a PLC on any network other than the network that is
directly connected to is also possible.
Updating the Online Connection Information Window Display
This section describes how to update the target PLC display in the Online Connection
Information Window display, and how to display the updated information.
!Caution When changing or removing a routing table (see note), be sure to update the
display for the Online Connection Information Window. The display for the
Online Connection Information Window could possibly be different from the ac-
tual network status. If operations are executed without first updating the display,
particularly online operations in the Network Configuration Window, it could
cause data to be mistakenly read or written for the wrong network or node ad-
dress or unit number.
Note: Changing or removing a routing table refers to using the CX-Integrator (or a
CX-Integrator for another personal computer) to start the Routing Table
Component and then changing or removing a routing table for the target PLC
(either a local network table or a relay network table).
Use the following procedure.
1. In the Online Connection Information Window, either select Update of Online
Information Window from the View Menu or press the F5 Key.
