provides a serial communication channel to Omron PLC Devices.
The Omron Serial Channel Tag
provides a serial communication channel to Omron PLC Devices.
The Omron serial channel supports the properties of the Active Channel Tag plus these properties:
| Property | Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Port | WSTRING | 1.0 | The name of the communications port. For example 'COM1:' |
| Mode | WSTRING | 1.0 |
The serial port communication speed, data format and handshake mode. Click the Browse button  to edit the serial port mode using the Serial Port Mode Editor.
You can also type in the serial port mode string directly.
See Serial Port Mode String for how this property is formatted.

The Omron Serial Channel Tag supports the tag commands of the Omron Channel Tag.
This is an example of channel configuration suitable for serial communication to an Omron PLC:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| ReplyTimeout | T#5s |
| FINSSourceNetworkAddress | 0 |
| FINSSourceNodeAddress | 2 |
| Port | COM1 |
| Mode | Baud=9600 Parity=E Data=7 Stop=2 |
