Data is sent and received as UDP packets or UDP packets on an Ethernet network.

In the FINS communications service, both an IP address for IP (the Internet layer) and a FINS node address for FINS (the application layer) are used for the remote device. Also, 9600 is used as the default setting for the local UDP or TCP port number (i.e., the transport layer) for identifying the application layer, i.e., the FINS communications service. (Another number can be set for the FINS/UDP port from the Setup Tab in the Unit Setup.)

For details on pairing FINS node addresses with IP addresses and UDP/TCP port numbers, refer to the subsection IP Addresses in FINS Communications under SECTION 5 Determining IP Addresses in the Operation Manual Con- struction of Networks.

The FINS communications service is a communications method based on UDP/IP, and it is supported by most OMRON Ethernet-related products. (In this manual it is called the FINS/UDP method.) In addition to supporting the FINS/UDP method, the CS1W-ETN21 and CJ1W-ETN21 support FINS com- munications using TCP/IP. (In this manual, this is called the FINS/TCP method.)
