6.7 FINS IO Server
6.7.1 Introduction
The FINS IO Server includes the configuration of:
• The eWON as a FINS Hostlink client (master) to give access on values in CSCJ series OMRON equipments reachable
using eWON serial port(s).
• The eWON as a FINS TCP/UDP client (master) to give access on values in CSCJ OMRON equipments reachable
using eWON Ethernet interface.
• The eWON as a FINS TCP/UDP server acting as a gateway between the Ethernet/PPP interface and the serial interface (used to
connect remotely programming/monitoring software to OMRON FINS supporting equipments reachable using eWON serial ports).
The FINS IO Server is designed to provide simultaneous access to OMRON equipments on its serial interface, and Ethernet interface.
The correct protocol will depend on the topic the Tag belongs to. UDP and TCP protocols can be mixed as well on the Ethernet interface.
When the BaudRate in the FINS IO Server is set to a value different than "Disabled", the serial Hostlink Client will be enabled.
The FINS IO Server can be configured in 3 modes:
• Full Duplex mode (eWON serial link must be configured in RS232 mode) without HW handshaking
• Full Duplex mode with HW handshaking
• Half Duplex slave mode
