Connection with Application Programs Section 7-2

7-2-3 Connection via Network
This section describes how to connect an application program on another
computer to the Ladder Engine via network (Ethernet).
Note
When connecting via network, the routing table must be set for FinsGateway
and the relay network table for the Ladder Engine because two communica-
tions lines are required for the computer with the CX-Simulator. For instruc-
tions on setting the routing tables (including the relay network table), refer to
Section 3 of the CX-Integrator Operation Manual (W464).
Note
When connecting via Ethernet, the Runtime version of FinsGateway is sepa-
rately required for the computer with the CX-Simulator.
