Omron FINS -- FS-8704-16
FieldServer Driver - Ethernet
A communications interface solution for Omron
Description:
The Omron FINS driver can be used by a PLC program to transfer data and perform other services with a remote PLC connected on an Ethernet Network. The Omron FINS protocol can be used by remote devices such a FieldServer to transfer data and perform other services. The protocol uses the Ethernet protocol called UDP to carry the Omron FINS messages back and forth. The UDP protocol is not connection based and reliability is achieved by using confirmation messages. This Ethernet Driver can be used to transfer data to and from the Nodes supporting Omron FINS communications. The Driver can be configured as a Client or a Server. As a Client: This driver reads and writes data to Server Nodes. Server nodes should be Omron FINS capable and be configured to communicate over Omron FINS. As a Server: Driver responses to read requests and updated FieldServer Data Arrays with data from client.
Formal Driver Type: Ethernet
Connection type: 10BaseT Ethernet
