provides a FINS/UDP SCADA communication channel to Omron
PLC Devices.
The Omron FINS/UDP Channel Tag
provides a FINS/UDP SCADA communication channel to Omron
PLC Devices.
The Omron FINS/UDP Channel Tag supports the properties of the Omron Channel Tag plus these properties:
| Property | Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Host | WSTRING | 1.0 |
The network address of the
Omron PLC.
This can be any of the following:
|
| Port | WSTRING | 1.0 | The port number (on the PLC) used for communications. The default port number for Omron is 9600. |
| StaticConversion | BOOL | 3.2 |
When set to true the driver sends outgoing messages from port 9600. This supports
the PLC Address conversion modes: Automatic (static) or IP address table. When set to false the driver sends outgoing messages on the ephemeral port associated with the UDP socket. This is more normal UDP behavior but only works with the PLC in Automatic (dynamic) address conversion mode. |
The Omron FINS/UDP Channel Tag supports the tag commands of the Omron Channel Tag.
This is an example of a channel configured to support Omron FINS over UDP protocol to host 192.168.1.20:9600 :
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| ReplyTimeout | T#2s |
| FINSSourceNetworkAddress | 0 |
| FINSSourceNodeAddress | 2 |
| Host | 192.168.1.20 |
| Port | 9600 |
The Omron FINS/UDP Channel Tag builds on the features of these tag types:
To learn about the properties common to all Omron channel types.
To learn about Omron Serial Channels.
To learn about Omron communication channels that use the FINS/TCP protocol.
To learn about Omron Device Tags that can be associated with the Omron FINS/UDP Channel Tag.
To learn about abnormal conditions in SCADA applications.
