FinsGateway Configuration and Startup
Section 6-2
• Change the protocol to SYSWAY-CV.
• If the
Unit No./Data
for the Host Link of the PC to be connected is 0,
the default value is left as 0.
Note
1.
The protocol cannot be changed once communications have started. Stop
and restart Host Link communications.
2.
The node number is the FINS node number for the device (in this case, a
PC) to be serially connected. Node number 240 is allocated as the Host
Link default to identify the FINS network node as the device to be serially
connected. Any value may be used so long as it has not already been al-
located as another FINS node number. It must, however, match the
Node
Number
of the PC to be added to CX-Position.
3.
For Host Link, the node number is the unit number for the Host Link of the
device to be serially connected. It must match the Host Link unit number
of the CPU Unit or Serial Communications Unit.

1.
Click the
Communication Unit
Tab. The default settings are as follows:
Baud rate = 9,600 bits/s; Data length = 7 bits; Stop bits = 2 bits; Parity =
Even; No. of retries = 0; Timeout = 5,000 ms.
2.
Match these to the communications conditions on the PC for connection.
3.
Click the
Network
Tab. The default settings (with the network number 0
and disabled) are: Local node number = 31; Communications unit number
= 24. For Host Link, use the default values as they are.
Note
1.
Network number is the FINS network number of the SerialUnit (virtual
unit). When using on Host Link, 0 is the allocated default (fixed). It must
match the network address of the PC to be added to CX-Position.
2.
The local node number is the FINS node number of the SerialUnit (virtual
unit). When using on Host Link, 31 is the allocated default, but any value
may be used so long as it has not already been allocated as another FINS
node number.
3.
The communication unit number is the COM Port FINS Unit No. in the Se-
rialUnit (virtual unit). When using on Host Link, 24 is the allocated default.
Any value may be used so long as it has not already been allocated as an-
other FINS Unit No. in the same node number.
Host Link communications can be started once the communications circuit,
protocol and conditions have been configured.
Starting Host Link
Communications
Communications start once the communications units (services) have been
configured. To use FinsGateway to communicate with the device, communica-
tions unit services must be started without fail.
