SECTION 19
Connecting to Omron Industrial Components
This chapter details connecting CX-Supervisor to Omron's Industrial
Components, like Temperature Controllers, Digital Panel Meters and Timer/
Counters. Any process value or parameter from these devices can be
monitored or written. See the device documentation for available parameters
and their description. This is achieved in CX-Supervisor by creating a point
and linking it to the required parameter. Device ranges supported are following
models that support communication (where '*' indicated a wildcard):
•K3GN
•E5*N
•E5*J
•E5ZE
•E5*K
•H8GN
•K3N*
•E5ZN
