Sending Host Link FINS Commands
• Set any FINS command code in S.
• Be sure to set the Host Link unit number (0 to 31) incremented by one (1
to 32) for the PLC slave corresponding to the send destination node
address in C+3 bits 08 to 15.
Example of Sending Host Link FINS Commands Using CMND(490)
The following example is for sending FINS commands to a CS/CJ-series PLC
connected to the Serial Communications Unit through an RS-422A/485 com-
munications path via an Ethernet network.
Example: The CMND(490) instruction is executed in the PLC on the Ethernet.
The FINS command (e.g., OPERATING MODE CHANGE STOP: 0402 hex) is
sent to the CS/CJ-series PLC (Host Link unit number = 1) that is connected to
port 2 (unit address = 81 hex + 4 hex
× unit number 6 = 99 hex = 153 decimal,
corresponding to network address 5 in the routing tables) of the Serial Com-
munications Unit (unit number 6) that is connected to the PLC on the Ether-
net. Routing is performed between the networks, so use the setting for routing
tables.

• Set 05 hex in bits 00 to 07 (net-
work address) of control data
C+2 in the CMND(490) instruc-
tion.
Note Set 0 hex in bits 08 to 11

• Set 02 hex in bits 08 to 15
(send destination node
address) of control data C+3 in
the CMND(490) instruction.
