FINS/TCP Method

Section 7-4

From step 12 onwards, the connection is established again.

Note When FINS node addresses are automatically allocated, the node address cannot be specified, so the connection remains open until it is closed by the keep-alive function.

7-4-3 Sending Commands from a Host Computer

Designating Remote Addresses

When sending FINS commands from a computer, the command data in the computer’s program must be created in command frame format. The frame formats are also used to decode the responses received from other network nodes.

The host computer’s TCP sockets are used when sending FINS commands from a host computer to a PLC. This section provides examples of addressing remote CPU Units from the host computer for communications.

Note (1) The FINS TCP port number at the Ethernet Unit is set to the default of 9600. It can be changed in the Unit Setup.

(2)Even if the Ethernet network is comprised of multiple segments, set the same value for the FINS network address.
